    I've seen a few businesses go down in flames because they were run "like a business". I hate when managers think their willpower and yelling can change the reality that the engineers are reporting.

    As far as "feels like" I think he's right. 10,000 pounds and 100,000 pounds feel the same; they both instantly crush the observer.

    And then you'd have machete massacres like in the African nations where all guns are prohibited. Entire villages, including women and children, are dismembered, and they have no means of defense.

    Unless that reasonable person was aware that at the time, the phrase "well regulated" meant "well trained", which would mean that the common citizen should practice regularly with their armaments.

    3/4 of the class was on legalities and danger level assessment, taught by two professional instructors from Blue Line Defense, both with law enforcement experience. There are many cases of one-punch kills, plus each blow that lands will diminish ones ability to defend ones self and retain ones weapon. The intentions of a seemingly random attacker cannot be reasonably assessed in the time it takes to throw a punch, so if dying isn't an acceptable outcome, sufficient force is required immediately.

    I agree with you entirely. I think the number of "knockout game" deaths of late could help support ones decision to protect themselves though.

    Retaliation, no, of course not. Prevention of a beat down, yes. Every blow that lands decreases a persons ability to flee or defend themselves. If the defender doesn't end the fight immediately, their life is at the attackers mercy.

    My ccw instructor was of a different opinion.

  18. Re:are google glass users ready for... on Is the World Ready For Facial Recognition On Google Glass? · · Score: 1

    Actually, deadly force IS an appropriate response to a punch or attempted punch by a stranger on the street. There are many cases of one-punch kills, and even more of people simply being beaten to death. Once you're dazed from a solid punch it's very difficult to defend yourself from the next, which will daze you even more. If you don't end the fight immediately your life is at your attacker's mercy.
