Escalation. Say you have a weapon in your pocket or surrounding. And two guys are planning on roughing you up. Punch you around a bit. The moment you decide to use that is the moment you are at risk of the same danger you are planning to inflict on them. A, they could be carrying weapons. B, you are potentially giving them a weapon.

Yeah thats all part of the fighting psychology. You need to make a call and hope its the right one, and if it isn't, you need to deal with it.


Edit: Can our moderators brahs link the two posts please. Thanks.
