And how are you going to determine whether or not your aggressor knows martial arts or not before you make you decision to defend yourself? Or perhaps your aggressor has a knife you have not seen and is about to stick it straight into your gut.
Are you going to pass out a questionnaire before you respond. I'll shoot first and ask questions later. I choose not to take the chance that my children and grandchildren will be left without a father or grandfather before risking my life before responding to someone who might be trying to kill me. I hope you get to live in your fantasy world for a long time, Scott. Because if you're ever confronted by the real world, you won't survive for long.
