Or that it would have helped me, on that one occasion.

But can you be sure it cannot help you in another occasion coming tomorrow or the next day? If they knew you could be packing, the perps would have to think twice about trying anything. OTOH, if the odds are that you aren't, well, go call 911 and you MIGHT be able to get them to come take a report.

It's more "binary" than you think. There are two choices - you can choose to own a gun (choice #1) or you can choose NOT to own a gun (choice #2).

That wasn't so hard, was it?

I choose to.
You don't. (I guess, who knows?)

This is a great story in today's news! >

Maybe we can revive "Devils Island."

I think I remember reading about the extremely low crime rate in Nazi Germany in the 1930's . . . .

Sounds like a plan to me.

Wait. He's holding it up or he's being HELD up?

Didn't that happen once before not too long ago?

Don't say "line" around him, he may try to inhale it.

If he smokes but doesn't inhale, I would be fine with it. If he inhales, lock him up.
