I'm a big guy 6'2" like 350-375 what have you. Never been in a fight my whole life (22 btw). Now my father raised me to defend myself (if a guy bullied me when i went to school or whatever ). You know like how guys are taught to fist fight if necessary and problems solved. I'm sure you guys get the idea. The thing is that I hate fights and dont want to fight. So now we all know how times are kind of hard, people are doing crazy things to get by (robberies, etc). Now the way I think is like here in South East Texas meth is a big deal for the "not so great part of society" (i dont want to say badguys but you get what i mean. Now say I get into an altercation or a guy is trying to rob me and he winds up wanting to fight me. now for aguments sake he dosent have a weapon pulled (maybe he has one i dont know). And lets say I cant leave or dont have a phone to call 911. Now I dont want to fight because how do i know this guy isnt on meth even if we did scuffle he probably wouldnt feel a thing. So would it be logical to pull a gun on this person and hopes he runs away? (but i would still be able to pull the trigger if he pulled a gun or violently started to attack me). I don;t think I would be justafiable in pulling a gun because there was no imediate threat, it would be more of a feeling or a hunch if you will that this guy may be a drugged out robber who would do anything to get my wallet. Sorry for this long confusing rant/senerio it has been in the back of my mind for some time now. :embarassed:
