Very true...but I'm of the mind that grown men shouldn't be fighting unless it's recreational. I'm sure that some of you may already know this but: fighting sucks. Whether you win or lose you'll probably end up in jail or hospital, with a torn shirt or lost your watch in the struggle and your girl won't stop screaming at you for being stupid.lrb111 wrote:If you carry a gun, and think there are such things as simple butt whippings, you are wrong. As soon as your opponent feels that gun on you, he will begin fighting for the gun and his life, and he may get the biggest adrenaline surge of his life, to boot.
There are no more butt whippings, there are only fights over the gun. Avoid them.
Need to keep thinking this one through.
I find that having a gun in the car keeps me calmer and keeps me from succumbing to the adrenalin that a potental physical altercation can cause. The times when I've made bad decisicions are when I was amped up and felt that I had no recourse but to fight. The last time cost me reconstructive surgery on my eye and nose and I WON! Now when I have a weapon I find that it's much easier to let things go.
