No insult intended. Your questions seem to have a level of over-thinking that borders on fantasy. Carrying a firearm to aid in your personnal defense is really not subjective. You are either prepared to defend yourself (with or without a weapon) or your not. All the intrinsic decisions you pose to make before or during a situation will get you killed.

I don't have to "take" a beating. I don't have to feel threatened. I don't have to surrender ground to an aggressor.

I've already made those decisions. The OP question; "Somebody comes at you with a knife". He's dead due to gunshot wounds. He made the choice.
