Great post!
That's just about how I feel about things. While I will try to present my thoughts in a reasonable way, sugar coating reality doesn't do anyone any good.
We speak of death, and of avoiding death. The threats faced are real, and it's ugly business. While I have not been in a gunfight, I have been physically attacked before, years ago. Each time, a quick, devastating and "offensive" reaction to the attack immediately turned the tables. I survived each situation. One instance was three-on-one, two were just one attacker. The key was as you mention: mindset, and the power/speed of response.
As a result, many of my posts, here, reflect those situations. I don't have one tithe the experience that many have, here. Yet, I've been through the cauldron and sieve a few times, thankfully surviving each time. I won't speak of those instances, because they were brutal, ugly and bloody. I was attacked. Had I not responded in the manner I did, I would not have survived any of the situations. Yet, I survived. That's enough for me.
To be PC or not PC. That is the question. Not!
