How right you are. About 25 years ago I had a buddy whose older
brother thought he was a real tough guy and liked to hang out in
several of the hillbilly bars in Detroit. One night be had a few
beers and started to hit some old guy with a pool stick. What started
it I don't know, but before anybody knew what happened the old guy
had a 38 out and popped my buddy's brother three times in the chest.


There is a lesson in that story. If someone wants to shoot you, he is
going to do it. And since there are tens of thousands of deaths by handgun
every year in this country, the lesson is that the shooter does it before
the victim has time to do anything but die. If someone is running around
waving a gun, he is not the threat. It's the guy that gives you one
opportunity to walk away, and you don't take it.
