In my opinion if get into a situation and these options are available to you, you have already screwed up. The idea is to avoid situations like this. Always have a plan of escape even if there is no threat. Once the threat makes itself known it's too late to start planning. Too many people carry a side arm thinking it will keep them safe. The side arm isn't there to keep you safe, its only real use apprears when you are ALREADY in danger. The only way to truly protect yourself is to avoid the situation completely.

Don't get me wrong. I strongly support the right of the individual to carry own/carry firearms. It is just also very important to me that people understand that their personal safety can not soley rely on the gun at their side.

Learning from my mistakes... again and again.
