Quote:You might have a slight advantage over a knife sure, but what if the person has a gun?God mode.
Quote:It is bluster. Knife or gun, reality does not give one fuck about your good intent. Constant training is what increases the survival of a stressful event, not the weapon itself.I have honed my skilz on video games.
Quote:I think you should value more situational conflict training more than defaulting to use of a weapon of any kind. People also survive by deescalation and fleeing. Your brain, regardless is your most important tool.Not with God mode. I can do what I want.
Quote:Even outside the issue of guns, any sane lifeguard will tell you, TRAINING is what increases the chance, not only of your own survival, but also of the victim you are trying to save.I ain't playing in a pool.
Quote:Having a gun is not a utopia. It matters far more how you respond to stress, not the weapon you are facing.It is a utopia. When I hold it in my hand I feel the power of greyskull.
Quote:"I'm not going down without a fight" is Hollywood crap. Survival even with other life is adaptation, not always brawn or force.I have to think about my honor. A Thundercat never runs from Mumra.
Quote:KUSA, I grew up with nothing but bullies on my street. You'd be one of those guys who'd say "The only thing they understand is a fight". Not true, even when I did fight back, I got my ass kicked.You should have made a superhero suit and kicked their ass.
Quote:That is more understandable as a kid. But as an adult you cant think like John Wayne or Dirty Harry or play street lawyer with a weapon.I play John Holmes on the street.
Quote:I have avoided being robbed as an adult TWICE in my life without using a fire arm. I have also avoided being assaulted without a firearm as an adult. The reason I did, was situational awareness, remaining calm, and looking for the path of least resistance. Talk is cheap, and the ones who brag about being a hero are the ones most likely to be the first to get hurt.
So you have ninja skilz.
