Reply #38: My survival instinct is very strong. Toting a gun is not part of the "how" [View All]

I have experienced many of those "instantaneous moments" and instinct prevailed. I survived, nobody died. I could almost guarantee the opposite outcome, if I had been armed. There were times that I truly wished I had been, but instinctively drew on other, less lethal resources. And no, I am not a martial artist. I always found common sense and reality testing the best tools. But there are lots of non lethal self defense tools available.
