self-protection

I keep my door unlocked unless I leave for a longer trip. was brought up that way, never had any problems.

with drunken idiots I confuse them verbally. if I can postpone the physical part for 15+ seconds, they'll always wimp out. stand your ground, give them a way out, and they'll take it sooner than you can say "a kick in the nuts and an elbow in the face".

guns? hah! those damn things just get you killed.

I find living next to a police station generally does the trick for number one.

Number two: The last time a drunk started a confrontation with me he said out of the blue "and who the **** do you think you are" to which I replied "The time? It's about 10:30 mate" and walked off. That generally seems to work.

Number three: I think it would be an instinct thing, don't know how I'd react until the situation occured. Does anyone?

There are several rules about guns.

Point the gun AWAY from yourself.

Do not pull a gun unless you plan to use it.

Never pass your gun around at the bar or at a party.

Keep your gun clean, and loaded.

Be very familiar with the safety-lock.

Following these rules, no one gets hurt.

One more rule, dont stick a gun in your waistband and sit down...I call it the "Plaxico Rule"

Always attack first. It gives you the upper-hand.

A friend of mine told me an important rule.

If anyone ever says, "YOU WANT TO STEP OUTSIDE"? you punch them hard as you can in the nose right there.

Good Advice, and don't forget the follow up punches and kicks, and you don't let him back up!

Always end the fight!

Funny, I thought the quickest way was to look them in the eye and kick em in the nuts. They're at your mercy after that.

unless the bad guy takes the gun from you (the #1 cause of firearm related deaths in the u.s. if memory serves?) and does what jesus would do:

Jesus Quintana: Let me tell you something, pendejo. You pull any of your crazy s*** with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you, stick it up your a** and pull the f****** trigger 'til it goes "click."

The best is a scene from Tombstone where one of the "bad guys" shows his gun hilt.

Wyatt grabs the gun and smacks him over the head with it.

DON'T SHOW THE GUN!

Bad guys can't take your gun if you don't show it off, and are willing to pull and use it.
