The One Who Fights Back Retains His

It Is True That A Victim Who Fights Back May Suffer For It, But One Who Does Not Almost Certainly Will Suffer For It.

An Armed Man, Especially If He Is Armed With A Firearm, Is Dangerous As Long As He Is Conscious. Take No Chances. Put Him Out.

Observe Your Cat. It Is Difficult To Surprise Him. Why? Naturally His Superior Hearing Is Part Of The Answer, But Not All Of It. He Moves Well, Using His Senses Fully. He Is Not Preoccupied With Irrelevancies. He's Not Thinking About His Job Or His Image Or His Income Tax. He Is Putting First Things First, Principally His Physical Security. Do Likewise.

When Under Attack, It Is Necessary To Evaluate The Situation And To Decide Instantly Upon A Proper Course Of Action, To Be Carried Out Immediately With All The Force You Can Bring To Bear. He Who Hesitates Is Indeed Lost. Do Not Soliloquize. Do Not Delay. Be Decisive.

The Proper Course Of Action, When Under Attack, Is Usually To Counterattack.
