Yes, we hope that no one has to face a situation where he has to fight for self defense. Situational awareness is key to detect what is about to happen. I agree with you. When you see what's going on, you can make your move to defend yourself.
Thank you so much @galenkp for your thought-provoking comment!
You're welcome...I respect those who have a greater awareness of what may happen and how to react to it or mitigate the threat. keep up the good work.
