First and most important rule of Krav is do not engage in a fight. If you have no other option, then inflict max damage in shortest time possible. Most can't do the latter even after training for some time.

I am a former heavywheght amateur boxer ,and at 80 years old ,still in good shape. I wouldn't stand a chance in hand to hand combat. I haven't been in a fight since my boxing retirement at the youg age of 24. Being a peaceful man is what I am. Unless you plan on hurting my family ,or stealing from my farm.
Oh wow, I've drawn you out! I must have finally hit a nerve or pressure point!
Jesting aside, while this/these government/s still ostensibly maintain/s even a pretense of control, inflicting maximum damage has dire legal consequences. It's true that in circumstances where it's either you or it's your adversary, you wouldn't have the choice and time will not accommodate a careful examination of the pros and cons. But then again, Krav Maga was conceived as a hand-to-hand fighting system initially for troops to be used in theatres of war, so the legal implications were never going to be a factor.
I'm brazenly going to hijack this thread to say that I'm immensely grateful for the valuable work you do. I'd gladly become a paying subscriber because I have high regard for your work, and I believe it is well-worth the subscription fee, but I haven't earned a single dollar in three years - I'm a COVID-19 casualty, but not the kind that succumbed to a viral infection, nor especially the kill shots - and I can no longer afford anything but the essentials (internet access excluded, because I ditched the cell phone as well, even though I did that gladly).

Which, they do. Peaceful won't help you. Better get armed.
