Like most here, I believe that throwing the first punch is wrong, but that there is never, ever anything wrong with fighting in self-defense or fighting to defend someone else. All animals have an incredibly strong survival instinct and as humans, it's occasionally more difficult for us to accept violence in self-defense because of our ability to analyze it on a moral/ethical level.
Obviously, the best course of action is avoidance - the number one rule taught in pretty much every self-defense class (including those focusing on firearms). Also never underestimate the effectiveness of ignoring someone, even if you're seething as you do it. This is usually made easier by an internal pep-talk about your own superiority lol
