Who is looking for trouble? The nurse who defends herself from being kidnapped in the parking lot at work, and avoids being subsequently raped? Or maybe it's the pizza delivery driver who defends himself from a robber who called in the false order to lure the victim? These are the people on the front lines in the war on crime.PSTL*PAKR wrote:Trying to be a hero will get you hurt/killed in most cases.

^^ CHLs are the first responders in most cases. Without pay I might add.
If you want to "avoid being a hero" and do what criminals demand, that's your choice to make for yourself. But you have no right to force me to be a victim.
Those who deny me the most effective tools to defend myself and the people I love are no better than the violent criminals they enable and abet.
