Street Fight - Best Method for Blocking Punches?

[Quiksilver]

bs, I"ve been a gun man all my life and I'd carry concealed if it was a felony to do so, and if open carry was legal, for everyone. I want surprise to be on MY side. you just can't stay far enough away from everyone for it not to be EASY to whack you and take that gun. I can do it easily if i am within 6 feet of you, which you CAN'T avoid on elevators, many streets, many buildings. u need karate skills just to "buy" enough time and space to draw your gun and get it pointed at the attacker.

who SAYS that what the guy will throw at you will be a punch, instead of an eye gouge, hmm? LETTING somebody hit you is stupid. Violent types typically dont LET you run away, they are on you before you even know anything has begun, typicially, or they just wait for another chance. either at you or somebody else. about the time you TRY that mma "takedown' bs, somebody will stab you in the back, or use a descending hammerfist or elbow and break your spine.

I wish I was that brave. More likely to get stopped & frisked and prisoned than to use firearm in self defense. I do carry a utility knife though, I suppose that could be effectively used to neutralize a close-quarters assailant.

stopped is one thing, going to prison is quite yet another.
