    My oppinion is if at all possible dont get involved in a physcial altercation in a bar or anywhere for that matter:D Sometimes you can avoid one by offering to buy the fellow a beer or some other approach to calm down the situation. if at possible get a doorman, security, bouncer's attention and let them handle the problem. pepper spray is a very effective way of preventing either party from possible serious injury. If your safety depends on protecting yourself do so by any means nessecary even though most times restraint is all thats needed.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Pepper spray and a good tip for the bouncer if I'm in one of the biker bars goes a long way. I used to be a bouncer and have finished many fights. Now I'm an old man with a 4 level neck fusion and a 4 level lower back fusion I don't fight anymore. My wife could probably beat me silly if she tried.

    I usually go out with a good friend that's a black belt and fights in competitions. I have seen him get jumped by 4 guys leaving a bar and they were down and out in less then a minute. One had a bat, he was the first one down. At least there was a camera that recorded it since my buddy took 2 punches and didn't start fighting until the bat came out. They got arrested, we got free drinks... :)

    I can walk threw town with a 9mm strapped to my leg without issues in this state and am in the process of applying to get a concealed carry permit.

    I'm a lover not a fighter but if it goes down, you just never know what a doro knows. I like to kiss alot, keep them off balance and then perform my patented by Mortal Kombat throat rip move. Most of the time I just make the individual more angry. It's turned out to be very counter-productive.

    Pepper spray has come in handy for me a couple of times.

    It looks like a pretty unanimous consensus, to avoid getting in the situation that requires a response in the first place. But when unavoidable, ALL's Fair.

    Also if you look at the assumed age of many of the posters, it has always been this way, nothing new, especially in a bar situation.

    I was taught to always walk away......but NEVER RUN.

    If walking away ends it all is well. But if by walking away and you are aggressively pursued (not just throwing words at you). Running won't do any better, so do as much damage as you can so you can be ready for his friends, as more times than not, guys only feel this tough when they have someone behind them.

    generally speaking, avoid conflict as much as possible...........this is actually easier than you think. anytime conflict comes up, you usually have a bigger part in it's creation than you think.......it's not about being right, it's about preventing the conflict from happening.

    that aside, if someone attacks me and intends to do hard, I defend myself, and do it to survive. whatever has to be done will get done to ensure my safety.

    I would say the era of the fair fight outside a controlled situation (sanctioned event).....is over. If you fight a street urchin and think fighting fair is the right way, he's going to prove you wrong by exposing your internal organs to light.......organs that were not intended to do so.
