If you find yourself under lethal attack don't be kind. Be harsh. Be tough. Be ruthless.

Anyone who appears to be triggered out of watchfulness and into action by your appearance must be explained. Anyone observing you carefully must be explained. Anyone whose behavior seems to be geared to yours must be explained. If the explanation does not satisfy you, be ready to take appropriate defensive action.

Now how do we cultivate an aggressive response? I think the answer is indignation... Your response, if attacked, must not be fear, it must be anger.

An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it.

Let your attacker worry about his life. Don't hold back. Strike no more after he is incapable of further action, but see that he is stopped.

A fine marksman is with a second rate rifle is far more effective than the reverse.

Your physical safety is up to you, as it really always has been.
