That's why I don't hunt with guys who start with a stack of cases in their camp. When I was on patrol up the Lochsa years ago, I encountered some of those kind of guys. Back from the woods at 9 am, drinking beer around the fire. They behaved OK, but I wouldn't hunt with them. Do you think there is some aspect to that incident in which the participants were victims of their own stupidity? My interest in self-defense is to retain the principle, but I don't think I'm very well-suited to react in the same way you would. You are trained; I'm not. I would have to behave accordingly. I did take some low-level law enforcement training once in which we rehearsed potential field situations. I'm sorry to report that I got killed at every station. I simply don't expect to see bad guys in the woods. I see PLENTY of guys with firearms, and they are all just like me, hunting. When I walk into somebody's camp, I open my action and ask permission to approach. In general, I think it's a good principle that goblins should not be too sure whether any particular person is armed or not. People who wish to break into my house should be assured that I am.
