Thanks, I thought long hard and often about these matters when I was growing up and kept getting fucked up. The table was always tilted. Either it was 2-3 people blindsiding me with bottles and whatnot or it would just be a brutal ex semi pro kickboxer with the punch of a thousand men, or any other type of thing, in the end people have a pretty good chance of pulling off their evil plans against you. At least it was my conclusion of it all and it didn't seem worth spending years grinding away and developing brain damage and arthritis. Table is tilted just use your brain it's a better way to live
My father-in-law is great with guns. Very accurate shooter, makes his own bullets. He could hit flying birds when he was a kid. He always carries a gun with him. A few years ago there was a dispute with a neighbor and he went to help her take photos of a few young workers who messed up her lawn. They approached him and wanted to take his phone. He pulled out his gun and told them to back off. At first they taunted him but he just stood there and told them he would shoot if they came closer. Well they called the cops on him. The cops showed up and he told them he's an older man and won't be able to fight them physically and the gun is his way of protecting himself. They laughed and agreed and moved on.
