There are too many bad things that can happen in a street fight. Criminal & civil repercussions for starters. Even if you "win" the fight you could still wind up on the short end. Nothing sucks worse than having a shit load of medical bills to pay for because you lost your cool with some asshole. You also have to consider the possibility of getting injured yourself. Breaking a hand & missing work is pretty shitty as well. As for the criminal side of things, that can range from misdemeanor battery to murder. A couple of years ago I saw a trial on CourtTV of an old man who hit another old man once in the head & killed him. Fighting makes you a man until you're somebody's bitch in prison. These are all scenarios of what can happen in a "fair" fight with no weapons.
I will say this though. I have a wife & 2 kids & will use whatever force necessary to make sure I'm around for them. If that means I have to shoot, cut with a knife, hit with a shovel or stab with an ink pen someone who is attacking me, so be it. I have 1 rule & that's at the end of the day, I go home.
