I guess it might be weak to use a weapon in a "fair fight" with implied rules of "no weapons" amongst other things. Personally, I won't ever be in such a fight. Any time I'm in a fight it will be because the situation could not be avoided and I have no choice but to get seriously injured (or even killed) or fight back in the hopes of surviving intact. Given that, you better believe I'll happily use whatever it takes, and I won't feel the least bit ashamed of it.

This macho notion of fighting you seem to have is seriously misguided. If you want to fight with rules, start some sort of sport fighting. If you're worried about being attacked, learn to defend yourself as best you can. Under no circumstances should you be engaging in some stupid, macho street fight. If/when you do, rest assured that the other guy might have different rules in mind than you do.

And if you get jumped? Well, you're likely screwed. People don't jump you for a fair fight. They jump you to catch you at a disadvantage. Those are exactly the sorts of times a weapon makes sense to level the playing field so you have a chance to survive.

Peace.

It's not "instinct" if you followed the guy into a planned street fight, that's "intent"

My thought is that thought needs more thinking and evaluating

It's not? Noo, you ruined my dream of getting fluffy bunny blowjobs. ;_;

On a serious note, have you ever noticed that it's always the guys with towering frames and bigass steroid muscles who bitch about weapons the most? A weapon evens the odds. People who complain about weapons are really saying give me all the advantage of being bigger and stronger than you, and that's "fair". No, it isn't.

when im in real danger i would only use a weapon but i would never use a weapon if it was one vs one

[hazzius]

agreed with mcmillan they are so dog in a fight to say hit someone with a pole and knock them out and all they had was their fists

[mcmillion]

yep, im not saying weapons are for pussys but if its a one vs one i would never use a weapon, i try to avoid street fights all together, only fight to protect people

[drkush]

alot of people seem to have the principle that weapons are for pussies,

Principle is OK up to a certain point, but principle doesn't do any good if you lose. - Dick Cheney

bottom line is if someone told me I was a pussy cause I used a weapon, I'd beat the shit out of them with it till they stopped talking...

As Wade Garrett said: "A man puts a gun in yer face, you got two choices- stand there 'n die or kill the motherfucker!"

[FightForFreedom]

weapons in certain ways are needed or you die if you wanna be a bad ass and think your fists can out power his gun then your gonna die
