If a person is being attacked and physical assault is imminent, the decision has been made for the victim and no conscious choice on the part of the victim should be occurring. And this will only happen if the victim has prepared for such an occurrence. As you note basically, play through various scenarios where you imagine an attack. Acquaint yourself with the steps you need to have occur almost subconsciously. Having a tool does one no good if you are not aware of its capabilities and limitations. Being in the wrong state of mind will create delay and delay can be unforgiving in the destruction that follows. I could not agree with you more.
