Actually, in both cases, he used it as an adjective.

Your best option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
When those fail, aim for center mass.

Re: Assault is a verb, not a noun!
Growing up, I had a neighbor who named his dog Assault. Would that be a proper noun?

If the dog was coming after you, would that constitute "Assault with intent"?twomillenium wrote:Growing up, I had a neighbor who named his dog Assault. Would that be a proper noun?

When the attack was over it would be "Assault assaulted."
That would mean I would have been "Assaulted by assault."
