Fighting in real life.

[Dunecat]

we have rules about not fighting with steel without full "harness" (helmets with visors, shoulderpads, arm armour, gauntlets, plate or coat of plates for torso, leg protection). with wood we only practice (however there are some "illegal" fights without full force and just with hard leather gloves). there are some minor cuts and bruises, broken skin... few times we had to stitch some cuts, because they were not following the rules of protection.

Reminds me of my days in reenactment [sp], when I developed deep affection for scale armours, but we used duralumin weaponry and, sometimes, "composite epoxy material" swords and sabers for non-armoured fights. Still got few scars on limbs, though.

@ishar
that thing with teeth... did that, perchance, happen in šibenik?

Nah, it was in Budapest, during a practice fight, waaay back. 2004-2005 I think.

And then you would spend the rest of your life in jail, like that guy in Canada who shot the three dudes who burned down his house and the rest of his property.

Norway is NOT in canada...Who said i would call the police, and who said i would shoot 3 dudes, i was talking about 1 dude

We dont have jails in Norway, its more like a Hotel, or thats what ive heard

Lol at getting shotted for stealing a wooden stick

[Trippin]

My only experience are fights (not full force of course) that I have had with my imaginary friends using wooden sticks my mommy gave me for Christmas etc (I live in Alaska, not much else to donot much else to do besides cam-whore over the internet and have sword battles with my imaginary ninja friends. I hope next year my parents make enough money moose hunting to purchase me a real sword.

I fixed that for your bro.

Most countries actually have some law stating you can't defend yourself to full capability, or something along those lines, the US (and Alaska) are no exception to such laws.

In the US you get one hit for every hit they land on you as a means of self-defense, but even then, if you hit too hard you get sued for "using unreasonable force in self defense".

Here in texas we have castle doctrine and it now applies to cars as well

That means I don't have to retreat from a robber armed or not I can defend my property with lethal force

Same goes for third parties, if I see a robber/rapist/ murderer doing his evil deed I am also allowed to intervene with my concealed firearm(licensed)

In addition even before those laws were passed texans had more self defense rights because anti cattle stealing laws allow you to shoot robbers at night who are stealing your property

Now of course everything has a lawyers spin so I would never advocate gunning down fleeing criminals but if someone is actively committing robbery/rape or attempted murder you're allowed to stop them with deadly force

well that's texas. it's (in)famous of using guns

If only everything worked as it was intended to.
