I never hang out in bars, so the likelihood of me getting caught up in a bar fight scenario is slim to none.

I think the posts from most of the men so far would indicate that they think much like the majority of women.

I've lived most of a full life now, and I've never had occasion to get into a bar fight. And I've spent most of that life in the wild, wild west where cowboys, hippies and pretty girls never mixed well. I was 13 when I got into my last fight -- 50 years ago. Come to think of it, I can't remember ever seeing a fight since high school, except for a cat fight I drove past once.

I spent my share of time in bars years ago; I'm just a tiny bit careful about which bars I walked into. I'd guess 90% of bar fights occur in 10% of the bars. I'd never take a woman into that 10% category of bars.

Fighting is childish behavior. People get killed; it could be your date when the bullets start zipping around. The best you should expect would be jail time. I'll put it this way: If you're too immature to avoid bar fights, you're too immature to drink.

I hope they've got computers in jail cells, Lindsey. I'd miss your posts!

Maybe you should read up on the laws here in Florida. I no longer am legally required to retreat to a safe place if assaulted, I can draw and fire. Its that simple.

I won't be in prison, the next man who decides he must have intimate contact with my body against my will, will at the very least soil his pants when he feels my gun right up next to his balls.

If you've been physically assaulted, call the cops and file a complaint. Spending a few months in jail would give the guy some time to think about whether he wants to try it with the next gal.

Wow! So if I pinched a butt cheek you'd be entitled to blow me away? Whew weeee! They must place a high value on such things in Florida. If I ever make another trip to your fair state, I'll be sure to ask my proposed victim if she's packing before I pat her behind.

Google is your friend.

Besides you are aware that pinching the butt of a stranger would be considered assault. I would have a right to draw on you and warn you off, should you ignore said warning and kept coming at me, the barrel of my Smith and Wesson would be the last thing you saw.

What Are the Gun Laws in Florida?

"Miscellaneous Laws Include:
Under Florida law, there is no "duty to retreat" if you are attacked in any place you have a lawful right to be."

When a man sexually touches a woman, its not unreasonable to infer he means to rape her. When a woman is affraid for her life, its totally legal to pull a gun, whether your at Walmart or at home.

Simply put, yes, I would. I don't hang around places that usually get things like that, and I wouldn't jeopardize something that could be great just b/c the guy possibly couldn't defend me. Now, yes, verbally I'd like to have someone who knew what to say if someone started verbally attacking, but it just depends on the situation b/c a lot of times ignoring it and going on is the best thing. I don't let things like that bother me. I'd rather my man be strong enough to walk away than throw a punch. As long as he likes me for ME and not what he wants me to be, I couldn't care the least.

In 98% of the bars here, there would be no risk of a fight. Avoiding the rest is easy.
