    Depends on which fight you’re talking about. All of the above for me, including people pulling someone off. I’ve also been the guy pulled off a downed person.

    Most people won’t be trying to kill you. Anger vents quickly

      So if you have been in a situation where a stranger jumped you, and you would have died if not for the chance intervention of some strangers, how in the world are you okay with just letting that happen next time it happens? What if next time there’s no one to save you? Your plan is to just let your life end there?

        I do not believe it is likely enough to happen that I feel the need to defend myself with a weapon at all times.

        My life isn’t ruled by fear. This is my original point here.
