This case is a great example of proper mindset. This guy brought a knife to a gunfight -- and won.

Lucky thing he wasn't in the UK. He'd be arrested for the knife.

That Jocks and Jills, that this Marine works at, is about 7 blocks from my wife's office. Wife's office is in a pretty nice area (near the High Museum, for you Atlantans), has parking under the building in a well-secured deck, and in general has good physical and human security.

The area where this event went down, now that I look at exactly where it happened, is 13 blocks away from her office, and is moving towards some pretty sketchy areas. Here's a map of the area, with 4th and Penn marked.

Good job on his part in taking out the trash.

I agree 100%. Protecting yours and your loved ones' lives always begins with mindset. You must be willing to die to be able to fight hard enough to live against a feral human. Subsequently, you must make the opponent pay the physical price -- or unwilling to pay this price -- in order to try to harm you.

I have known of mothers, in defense of their children, putting up amazing fights beyond any training they may have been exposed to. Their instinctive mindset was to fight to the death, using any weapon within a hand's reach, in defense of their children.

God gave us wonderful instincts. We should spend more time staying in tune with them rather than suppressing them.
