USA – -(Ammoland.com)- The best fight is the fight you are not involved in.
Often something as simple as showing a potential attacker that he has lost the element of surprise will help you to avoid a fight.
Also, making clear that you are ready to defend yourself will often give an attacker pause. Time is your ally in a fight. Making the attacker react to you gives you an advantage.

The very best advice I can ever give my students is to avoid a confrontation at all costs. If you can walk, run, jump in your vehicle and use that two ton escape module, whatever – just get out. It’s far preferable to a situation that may lead to serious injury for you or someone else. The person that prefers to stand their ground (outside their own home) is the person I’ll stay away from when trouble calls.
Right ! your best friend is always your defense…
