Re: "Real world Situations"

Perhaps you are not able to understand where I am coming from. You think I am being extreme because you perhaps do not understand the changes that a little technology brings to combat. When an altercation occurs using modern armaments, the result is almost certainly death for one of the involved parties. The guys who came up with the stuff the people on this board study used to chop each other to pieces without a second thought. They did not draw their swords, smack them together until someone gave up, then go home. When by virtue of your training and the weapons you bear you are constantly responsible for the lives of everyone around you, you cannot get into a "little" fight. The choices left to the armed gentleman are escape, death, or murder. This is precisely why I have lost my taste for self defense.
