The police will usually always tell you when confronted with a criminal attack that it's better to not resist and let the bad guy have what he wants.
Here's a story of a woman who's fight against a blade wielding murderer probably saved her life. I say murderer because the guy was wanted by the police for recently bludgeoning a homeless guy to death. The guy slashed the woman multiple times but she kept fighting. Going by the description of the woman's defensive fight and the mug shot of this predator you can tell she was probably trying gouge his eyes out. Smart girl. Always go for the eyes and the...ahem.....privates.
Complying with the demands of a criminal will not always go well for you. Here and here are stories of clerks being shot and killed even after complying with the demands of the robber. True, maybe in their situation there wasn't much they could do but here are two situations where the criminal's gun was taken away and used against him, resulting in a dead bad guy.
Of course the best way to protect yourself is to carry a gun and know how to use it. In most every situation when a criminal is faced with armed resistance he will flee.
Yep. I simply don't have the mental capacity to understand those who say you should turn your life over to a criminal who is in the act of committing a threatening felony so he/she can decide whether or not to have mercy upon you and let you live as a witness to their crime. Yeah, that's what the world needs to do, have the criminal element make decisions of life or death for the rest of us. As for me and my guns, we hope for the best but are definitely prepared for the worst.
