    You have totally missed the point of arms being a deterrent. YOU are the one thinking in video game terms.

    Anecdote: There have been two times I would have likely got my ass kicked out in the woods had I not been open carrying. Like magic, this fucker who loathed me was very, very polite.

    For anyone else coming along; Guns are not magical “get off me” totems. You have to put in the time and effort to practice several skills, safety at the top of that list. It is not an easy solution.

      Almost as if the other guy didn’t have access to many, many more weapons and the legal right to shoot you.

        Huh, can’t wait for your instance to shutter.

        Doesn’t matter whether shithead had guns of his own, the fact that he saw one on the person he wanted to victimise had one and he decided he didn’t want lead poisoning.
