well Yas Forums?
Could you defend yourself in a street fight?
against 1 person. But in public, you don't know that
I have a gun, so yes.
Self defense without weapons or at least a good dog is a meme for 90% of People. In a clean 1 on 1 there maybe would be a chance for me, but when the opponent would pull out a knoife or call his mates its over
No and it bothers me a lot. I have low confidence because I don't know how to fight.
Buy a gun, if you live in nogunz country buy a dobermann
I can get defend myself with a broomstick
there is no shame in being like that, there is only shame in staying like it.
Firearms are essential but I'm of the opinion that you need to be able to defend yourself with your hands as well. Not all confrontations escalate to the point where you could legally shoot someone. I just can't bring myself to go to a gym and get punched around because I know I'll cry like a little bitch.
Yes, by running away and calling the police
1 on 1? I could beat most regular people as they really don't know a thing about fighting and I have a martial arts background and strength, mobility and conditioning above average.
>Against multiple people? Only if they really are notoriously weak or pussies idk
>doberman
Nice meme. Dobermans are useless unless they go through extensive training and come from a good working line that breeds for protection. Else you just got a dog that might look tough but will 90% pussy out if anything happens. Esp since so many come from show lines or backyard breeding. The only breeds that reliably protect/attack without extensive training are eastern european and asian livestock guardians. Caucasian shepherd, kangal, central asian shepherd, bucovina shepherd, shit like that. Breeds like dogos, rotts, canes, etc have some rare dogs that will do smthing when shit hits the fan without training but I wouldn't count on them. Gsd and mals are amazing if they are trained, useless if not.
For my own dogs I went with a bucovina shepherd and a working line gsd. The bucovina was ready to attack if provoked since he was 3 months old. He only needed training for impulse control and obedience so he doesn't chimp out on everyone and everything. All the aggression, protection instinct, confidence, drive to attack was there from day one.
>tl dr don't get a wannabe tough breed like dobe and expect the dog to actually protect you without paying good for a quality pup and investing months in training.

Same. I could outlift most people in a given bar or club, but if a norf fc type wanted to throw down I'd probably get my ass kicked because I don't really know how to throw a punch, and I definitely don't know how to knife fight.
This is pibble owner logic. You are trailer trash if you get a dog as a security system instead of a companion.
Doggos only have to look though to be usefull tho, when shit gets real its time to draw your gun. Dogs, knives, material arts... All mall ninja bullshit
You don't knife fight. Period. If he draws a knife you either run like hell or get a fun out.
I've developed a bad attitude with ass holes because I spent my childhood getting bullied and I don't take people's shit anymore. But if some fucker who knows how to fight started bullying me I'd be in trouble. I avoid bars and clubs because that type of scene is just asking for trouble. My biggest threat is living in Commiefornia where I can't go for a walk down the street without hobos getting in my face. As far as knives go, if someone attacks you with one they're giving you pretty good reason to legally defend yourself with a firearm.
Except my country is noguns. And you tell police and military dogs that they are mall ninja bullshit. Or actually come tell my 86 cm to withers, 75ish kg bucovina shepherd he's a mall ninja bullshit and see what happens. Trust me people don't wanna mess with him in a noguns place and if they did he would severely fuck them up, and I (and the gsd) would help with that. Not everywhere is murica. Don't get me wrong, I'd carry if I was a burger, but I'm not.
guy in the white sits back down to enjoy his drink lul
I could seduce them
Police and military is hasgunz tho, and in combination with funs dogs do indeed make sense. When i will ever get in a self defense situation i would let loose my doby and then draw as this allows me to threaten and de escalate without having to have my gun out beforehand.
Also problem with Dogs in nogunz countries is that, despite norf FC. fags, criminals don't abide the law. They are still hasgunz.
Im not saying a doggo is useless in self defense, but you need to back it up with a fun.
people who know how to fight don't start fight, usually.
To all the gun owners.
What do you do if someone's getting in your face? How do you draw your gun without being tackled and getting the absolute shit beaten out of you and maybe even killed afterwards?
You need to learn martial arts, guns are just a crutch that only works sometimes.
Does anyone have that webm of the guy who severely beats like 6 other guys in a Russian gay club? It's brutal.
Well your dobe better be extensively trained or 1 in a thousand cause I'm telling you out of experience that if he isn't you letting him loose won't do shit. Dog will either bark and run around target or just hide behind you. Won't actually attack. Might make the whole situation worse actually.
And my country is literally the king of no guns in EU. Least firearms in europe and some of the strictest gun laws in the world. Gun violence is so rare it might as well not exist. Like 2% of homicides are by firearms. Even criminals can't get guns here bro. High level ones like organised mafias and shit might have some guns but you don't have problems with those ppl unless you actually look for trouble hard and in that case you're probably a low life.
So yea, petty criminals, thieves and the random drunk idiot won't have a gun here so a huge as fuck and aggressive dog is more than enough.
Guns are a self defense tool, and as such the best one there is. It is not meant to be perfect and there are certain circumstances where a gun won't help. That beeing said a gun is still the best way to defend yourself
I've done it three times before I even got into fitness, so I'm reasonably confident I could handle it again. Most street fights aren't started by competent pugilists; it's just an angry skinnyfat jackass or a drunk who's more of a danger to himself as long as he isn't driving.
You never run into a gun until you do m80. Get a gun, ignore laws that interfere with your human rights.
I literally can't lol. Getting a gun here is nigh impossible and if you were caught you would be so royally fucked. What part of some of the strictest gun laws in the world don't you get? And like I said no one has any. 2% gun related homicides is nothing. I have a higher chance of dying by bear than by a gun lol since I work innawoods monitoring carnivors. Guns are a nonfactor in my country.
What country do you live in? I live in Switzerland where getting a carry loicense is a fucking pain in the ass and still got one in the end.
Romania. Most you can get is rubber bullet guns lols. And it's a very hard and lengthy process. You even have to declare every single discharge, nr of bullets (there is a max allowed), have to keep the gun in a locked safe and bullets in another. You're also not allowed to shoot anything except legs or some shit in case you do end up ever using it and you need to first give an air warning. And that's for rubber bullet firearms.
Lethal ones are outright illegal for all citizens. Only ones allowed lethal are police, military and special case diplomats/politicians. You can get hunting rifles but only with membership in hunting associations, proof you are an active hunter and you can't use it for self defence or carry it anywhere except actually hunting. You would be so incredibly fucked if you ever shot someone with an illegal lethal or a hunting rifle that it's not worth for anyone, including criminals.
The upside is my country is really safe and I have a bigger chance of dying by falling on the stairs than from a gun, so that's good I guess. Gun crimes aren't a thing here.
