First Off MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
Thanks for the replies, Mike and TAM.
Mike, I did not see or know of the particulars of Mr. Hale's situation. I am glad that he was able to stop the attack.
Guys, I understand the physical limitations that we all face.
Like you TAM, I don't go out to bars or drink. I avoid places/area's that are suspect. Keeping windows rolled up/doors locked, not being in park and picking a escape route are pretty much ingrained.
I have to drive through some pretty rough areas for work and think of situations and how to get out. I understand that there are some things that we can do nothing about or maybe just didn't see the situation evolving until it is to late to get out without presenting. Thanks for your time.
Carl

Re: What is your Limit?
Okay, at what point does he present his weapon? When the guy walked up to his door? Anything less and and the situation is still the same.
I am not asking you to pick apart my question, just answer it.
When do you present?

What is your Limit?
So, on another forum a guy is talking about getting hit and how having his (insert gun) would have made things all better.
Maybe it is my upbringing, but I was brought up "in a fist fight us your fists", "a fight is between 2 men, help is not needed or accepted"," take your lumps like a man"
Today, it seems like teens/young men are resorting to using weapons. This causes me to take things to the next step.
So, do you take a whipping? At what point do you resort to pulling your side arm?
Personally, I avoid situations that I would need my side arm. I first started getting concerned after Katrina and the crime rate began to climb in my neighborhood. At first just something in the home. As I watched the news and saw that more and more folks are being attacked in their cars or in parking lots. In New Orleans this was common place now it is common place here.
Personally, if my family is involved at all. I will take all available/extreme action.
If I am out numbered, or the other person is at all armed. I will take action.
I have taken a butt whipping before and will again.
