I've fired a rifle before. Not exactly something i'd go to, for self defense. Then again, being the child of two police officers, nobody's really ever wanted to get in a fight with me to have to deal with them! Tongue

No one can take away your wits. Not a perfect solution, but it pays to hone that weapon.

Heh, I remember fighting a drunk lunatic who had a knife. Fun times.

Probably went a bit overboard, but when you attempt to stab me and my friend of course I'm gonna lose my shit.

Surprisingly didn't get in any trouble with the cops. In fact, they were actually quite understanding in that situation.

I haven't been in a fight in about eight years, but after having part of my ear bit off in one, I approach every fight as my friend Roberteaux says: Never forget, you are in a struggle with a 170-lb mammal.

Everybody has an animal inside them. The only question is what stimuli releases it.

Glad you got no trouble from it. A man should and ought to be able to defend himself as circumstances warrant.

I wouldn't say that's surprising, self defense is fully legal.

(My parents always told me "You can beat the shit out of the other kids so long as they throw the first punch." And they do know their laws Tongue )

Probably, because that could turn into GBH pretty fast or murder/manslaughter Tongue

Or let's just say there was a random sharp object on the ground, even using that would get me into trouble. But hey I inflicted enough damage. I'm just glad I didn't end up dead.

Well i'm pretty sure we're all glad that you didn't die Tongue
