Having been involved with amateur Rugby, some connection to the Paras and being an punk, I was involved in a few punch ups in my youth, as well as being kicked around the floor by some cavaliers from the civil war recreation society (English). I have always felt safe enough that I have never needed a gun and the presence of a gun would only have made any of those situations worse. I will take an occasional face slap over a killing.
