I also carry, because this isnt high school and Im 40 years old.
Lol. There comes a point in every man's life when you don't want to risk that 1% chance of a lifelong injury, disfigurement, or death just to prove you can physically dominate someone who's probably either an idiot or insane.
I've pretty much reached that point. Ill deescalate if possible and give them every chance to back off, but I'm not going toe to toe with someone half my age no matter how good I think I am. There's a reason most pro fighters cant hang with the young'uns when they get older, and its not skill level. I'm pretty confident I can put pretty much any idiot on the street on their ass quickly; Id just rather not.
