Quote:The gun also makes it much more difficult for the the 250lbs brute from intimidating or assaulting the 98lbs weakling.
Not unless you are prepared to walk around pointing it at everyone who passes by...which would quickly get you arrested for menacing. *
You see, if you're walking down the street and a guy says "Hey, buddy..." you don't know if his next words will be "stick 'em up" or "do you know the time." If you whip your gun out and its the latter you're going to look pretty stupid. In fact, I wouldn't let someone like that own a gun.
If it's the former and he already has his gun out...it's too late. This isn't Hollywood. It's reality.
He'll steal your gun, too.
