I honestly can't say until I'm actually confronted with the situation. Here's what I can tell you from a different situation. I have a friend who is very pro gun rights. Tried really hard to convince me I should start carrying one because I work in a really bad part of town. When I said no, he asked who will protect me. I told him God always has. One morning I arrived at work a little early and there was a man who was out of his mind and dangerous. Was standing by my car challenging me and shouting obscenities. I locked my doors and started praying that God would bring calm and this could be resolved peacefully. Less than a minute after I started praying, the man started to calm down and the security guard and a male coworker slowly approached to make sure he didn't attack me. He went away on his own and it all had a peaceful ending. wow...blind faith there methinks. Pretty sure an imaginary being didn't save you lol With all due respect, I've never found that God is imaginary. There have been many examples in my life where God has been there. I don't ask you to follow my beliefs, but I do ask you not to belittle them. Whatever has worked for you is great. God is what is and has always been in my life. pay no mind to what she said.belittling believers is how non-believers get their jollies off It is not about getting my 'jollies'. It just amazes me that people still believe in such utter nonsense. I get that children are still being brainwashed at an early age into believing in the ridiculous (even an average intelligence can work out that the notion of god is borderline lunacy) but when people attribute any event where the outcome is good as an act of god is quite frankly sad. Instead of thankign some imaginary being, why not just be proud of yourself for dealing with a situation? Why not thank a stroke of luck for some scenario playing out in your favour or just show the human race some respect in that we came to this point in our evolution without the invention of your stupid god. Let me tell you what god does in scenarios such as what the OP suggested. He does the exact same as Superman, Batman and Bug Bunny - Not affect the event due to an overall lack of existence! what people want to believe in and what they don't want to believe in really isn't any of your concern.does someone believing in a God effect your life some way?no?than why take the time out of your day to say that it's wrong?or are you one of those type of people that just has to be right all the time? |

I'd use a baseball bat or a gun, and I'm not pro-gun but if it's there... (not pro-gun as in not having them in circulation)

I believe I would try to disarm him
the first time I was attacked, I fought, with just my hands, until he retreated the second time, I had no way to retreat, so I just tried not to escalate the situation one never knows until they are there, but for me, I hope , violence would be the very last thought or refuge,,, and dreamer, your faith is inspiring,, I am glad you were not harmed. |

Hope you are trained to do that! Even Experts tell you to keep your distance,and try to either get away,or disable the Assailant either temporarily or permanently! Trying to disarm an Attacker wielding a Knife,while you are unarmed,is foolhardy at best,and most of the time quite unhealthy! |

Do you know how easily it is to freak someone out with the right kind of mask and a katana...Or even a big knife.
Not one swing and I bet they're runnin' out the door.

When an attacker is armed with a gun, even the most skillful marshal arts master knows that the speed of his foot/fist is no match for the speed of a bullet. |
