"Please don’t risk your life in a shoot-out for a 5 year old car with 228 horsepower and RMS problems. Depending on your username, that could be tragic."
When I used to teach martial arts, I said this over and over. If someone attempts to rob you, give them your wallet. If someone pulls a knife or gun, try to run away.
If you have to fight, make it over a threat to your person, not to your property or ego. Especially your EGO!
Then and only then, fight back and do it with full measure. At that point, you MUST assume the person means to take your life and you should do the same.
Using half hearted fancy studio moves on the street is a great way to become dead very very quickly. Taking out an eye or crushing a wind pipe will allow you to walk away from this threat very very quickly. The longer the fight goes on, the worse it becomes.
So too with a gun. Only pull it when it needs to be pulled AND used. Otherwise, leave it under the seat and get the hell out of there.
"Lets be careful out there!"
