But i have not had to. I probably would defend myself, but hopefully i never will have to.


I know you would. If your live or the life of someone you love was in danger, I know you would defend yourself.

That is not what i said, i am saying that i dont have to, because the situations where a person needs to defend themselves in the UK and europe in general are much lower than in the US.
Take our crime rates and compare them, you get a similar story, some are slightly higher, some are slightly lower. What we are missing though are all those supposed DGUs which are not reported, about 2 million of them apparently.

I know how to look after myself, i know how to avoid dangerous situations, i lived in the US and never got myself into trouble, nor in europe. SOmetimes it is a matter of being aware of your surroundings and all that, but also in europe there is just less of a chance of anything happening.


Like you I haven't had to defend myself or a loved one either and I have lived in DC, Chicago, NYC and Miami.

But the thing that does still kill me is the non-self-defense outlook that Brady, Push and other groups have. Non-violence is a great thing but you cannot negotiate your way out of being raped, or if someone desires to harm you, there is no negotiation; and at that time you may have to put rounds down range.


That which does not kill you, makes you stronger.
