"...twenty years ago, the worst thing one might face was to be in the center of a home invasion, or a takeover robbery. Various bits of advice were always given out. The premise was that a takeover robbery or home invasion, while demeaning to one's dignity, usually did not lead to a victim's death. And that for the most part was true. So the advice was to submit and that it would soon be over. But that same advice given to airline passengers pre-9/11 didn't help when the end game of the hijackers was not a quick trip to the tropics, but martyrdom. Much the same can be said today....
"The doctrine of submitting and waiting for the authorities was immediately a non-starter.
"So the paradigm must change first. Always, always, always fight. Forget defense, attack for all you are worth. And knowing the delay in response and impossibility of anyone saving you, always carry a weapon even if it means doing so illegally.
