Well I don't know about 280lb women in the street at night, but if I'm wearing kit I tip the scales at 260lbs. Muay-Thai kicks and leg thrusts keep most people at bay, and is how I've dropped people in the past. I've pinned a guy to the corner of the room with my back and knocked him out with my MITCH while clearing my POD. It all falls back on training... you have to train in combatives, 'cuz when you need to you won't magically rise to the occasion and be a Praying Mantis Grandmaster. "Watch the hands"... I would hate to be the guy to have to explain in front of a jury why I shot a bad-guy because as a "green beret" I didn't have the combative skills to neutralize an unarmed opponent.
