"This is all assuming that you cannot drive away...I am not condoning the actions of the OP, but getting your ass kicked isn't a viable option because if that weapon gets away from you, you're dead, period, you do everything to avoid that, brandishing or not, it may have just saved your life."
I carry a gun for self defense. That's it's sole purpose. The shelf life on that can of whupp-ass I used to carry expired a long time ago. If necessaryI would 'brandish' (display)to dissuade the attacker along with a verbal warning if there was any doubt that I couldn't do itphysically. Ifthe attackerpersisted...I would shoot them in self defense to STOP the attack. I've had all that 'close combat, martial arts type trainingstuff'... butI was much younger. At this point in life... I will not be laid a hand on. I will not be put in fear for my person or property. That's just the way it will go down. I'm self-aware of that each day I buckle on that gunbelt.
