But as I'm also turning, I'm going to, whatever distance there is between us, I'm going to close that distance.

And that's going to do one of two things.

That's going to get...

When my pistol does come out, I'm going to be able to stick it right in his gut or in his chest and start pulling the trigger.

it's also a really good chance that if there, whether it was a gun or a knife, that as you turn, you can't turn just your shoulders and your head.

You need to turn your entire body.

That should also, at least momentarily take that weapon off, take, take the contact away to where it's going to, he's going to, as he's driving into you, he's going to continue to push forward while you're turning away from that.

And then momentarily that, that should buy you a half a second.

In a situation like that, I think other than freezing, if you were going to do anything, a mule kick.

Mule kick that son of a bitch as hard as you can.

Grabbing is a little bit different story.

So if they come up and if it goes to a choke hold or a bear hug or something like that, that changes the game.

That's what I'm saying.

So if they come up and they bear hug with two hands, now I know there's not a gun pointed at my kidney.

Now that changes the game.

Yep.

Now, whether I choose to draw or I at least momentarily go to hand-to-hand combat to fight him off while I can make that draw.

You need to get aroused.

And speed and aggression, just like what you just said, will absolutely change the game.

Especially if they're not expecting you to defend yourself.
