Self-defense is about ESCAPING, not fighting. Train to win the ESCAPE.

Self-defense is an affirmative defense. Each state allows a defendant to claim self-defense as a legal defense when accused of a violent crime, such as a murder charge. Federal criminal law allows this as well. The specific laws on self-defense cases vary from state to state. Some states have stand-your-ground laws, while others do not. If you intend to carry or keep a gun for self-defense, you should follow your state's gun laws. The common law defense of self-defense applies where the defendant uses necessary, reasonable and proportionate force to defend themselves or another from imminent attack.
