I'm in pretty good shape. My suit jacket fit is "athletic". But I'm not a big enough guy to bank on physical dominance in hand-to-hand combat, and I'm untrained in martial arts, other than watching The Karate Kid at least 20 times.

I do feel like my odds are better than fifty-fifty, at least confined to a one-on-one confrontation. I've gone through all the scenarios in my head, and there seems to be a net advantage of owning a firearm. If it's just my stuff they're after, I don't really care. It's the idea of them harming the love of my life that's going to get them in some pretty deep shit.
