What does that have to do with the questions? Here is the thing there are some that think that the only way to resolve an issue is to pull your weapon and shoot and unfortunately that can make you dead as well if it isn't at the right time. Self defense is more than just having a weapon on your hip or having a CCW and having a gun concealed. Unfortunately for some that carry they see it as a security blanket which is partly true but unless you think about what you can under specific situations do you can become deceased. Having a plan before hand can save your life when you are in the thick of things.

I have had a self defense instructor who was a knife expert and instructed police departments on how to handle the knife. Instead of asking how old I am how would you handle the three scenarios so one can end up alive instead of dead. Just on another note an officer could handle the situation the same way a non-police person would.
