Yes Ithaka, I can just see how littles old me at 5'6, 120 lbs could handle 5 truckers coming at me, even with a gun. And for your information this is the 13th country I have been in in the last 2 and a half years, many of them South American and Asian countries and the only time I've been attacked is by an American GI, and I'm just thankful he didn't have his gun.

So yes, self defence, for the most part, is bullshit,you can try but if someone in determined to hurt you than they will and can. I could have dozen guns, but I'm not going to take one to the bar which is where I got beat up.
