I believe I covered that under "winning a conflict".
Once the other guy starts swinging, not drawing your own weapon to defend
yourself *is* cocky.
"Winning a swordfight without drawing your sword" implies not using a
sword when you have it available, and the other guy is swinging for your heart.
And that will let the situation get out of your control, unless you are *far*
superior in your martial arts than the other guy. Which you would be a fool to
rely on. To me that phrase encourages a "bring a knife to a gunfight"
mentality, which is terminally unhealthy.
I'm not saying that you should let a situation devolve to violence, just that if
it does, decide lethal/non-lethal, and be good enough to not need to hold back
weapons if you decided non-lethal. (I apply this to my take on firearms as
well.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
