There is a lion ahead. What will you do?
Will you stay put, or will you fight? The question here is: depending on who you are, the outcome of your approach to the lion is determined. You have a weapon and are in a situation where you can run away. But depending on who you are, you can either run or fight. However, regardless of whether you were armed to begin with, there are ways to avoid entering the lion's territory. The same goes for people. There's no need to force yourself into a place you're not likely to encounter. If you absolutely must, be sure to bring a means of escape and a means of fighting. Self-defense equipment may or may not absolutely protect you, but the odds of it protecting you are very high.
