Everybody thinks they have a plan to fight a squirrel until it's time to fight a squirrel.

They are incredibly bitey. Remember that they chew through walnut shells with ease. Lots of people have underestimated a squirrel and gotten bit right down to the bone for their trouble. I'm not saying anybody couldn't stomp a squirrel flat, but you're going to lose some blood in the process.
