Would try to talk my way out of it but will fight if assaulted

Always talk your way out of it first. Even if you're completely innocent, proving so in court may cost you upwards of $25k. As for standing your ground, please understand that States that have the "run to the wall rule" require absolute retreat under ALL circumstances until you're trapped and can't run. Now you have to fight tired AND you've pissed off your attacker. Running show fear, and fear further empowers and emboldens your attacker. As for those who make these laws... All those University Degrees bestowed upon the stupid.

Always best not to have to fight but if you have to make sure you end it quickly and final.

I bit the man that raped me because I was angry and because I wanted to defend myself, so I am all for legitimate self defense. That is not however, an excuse to be a vigilante.

I don't like to fight, it has never proven anything. I can protect myself and have in the past and will continue to do so if forced.

I fight to defend myself. I've had martial arts training under my belt, so it should go to good use.
