Does anybody have a common sense solution

70. Are we Indiana Jones vs. the big bad guy with the big bad knife?

or is your ideal situation the laugh out loud joke in "raiders of the lost ark" when Indy pulls his gun and shoots the big dude with the big knife?

(all he had to do was run the other way and get out of it, but it was a great iconic moment in the movies.)

I survived the fabled "mean" streets of NYC riding subways at 3 or 4 am nightly in the 1970s and was never bothered once. Avoiding the situation when you can, acting like one belongs there, always knowing where you are

OR

the old acceptance canard

grant me the serenty to accept the things I cannot change
change the things I can
and to know the difference

Just back away, it is not being a coward to not fight. Especially when fighting will lead to someones family member being hurt. Having a gun won't save you if they have more guns or are better than you at that very moment in using it.

(applied to world situations- having a drone kill a top level member of a "gang" is alot better than having 20,000 kids die in a war to get the same person, IMHO).
