I remember having about a half a dozen guys come after a friend and I in NYC in the late 80's. We got lucky because we moved briskly into a well lit area and they backed off. I hadn't thought about that incident in ages, and I don't recall thinking then, or even now, that having a gun would have made it better. Chances are that my 1 gun would have met multiple guns on their side. So a simple mugging would have turned into a shootout.

It seems that having to declare one's manhood is akin to a TV network having to declare itself fair and balanced.

I assure you, you're not what most would consider to be a man.

Political Chat is an enigma surrounded by Pandora's box.
Anything that you say can, and will be used against you....
If I ignored the question, I have one group doubting my veracity.
If I answer the question, I have a different group calling me a fool ?
The fact that we all survived these incidents, tells everyone that can read, that you are fool, jealous that someone accomplished what you only wish that you could have done! A Real Man Does Do, What A Real Man Must Do, When He Has Too Do It. That leaves you playing with you Barbie Dolls, Missy.
I am in control, as I now know that you are not and never were a police officer. I also know that either you can not read, or purposely distort the words of others to embellish you statements.
Sincerely,
Bill

Sorry that I asked, Bill. This may sound contrarian but I can't fault your actions, I admit placed in the same scenario I probably wouldv've dropped the hammer in front of the movie theater. I'm glad it never came to somebody getting shot.
Vietnam? I would rather that had never happened, I'm sure you would agree. Commiting troops to an unwinnable military action is a raw deal all around, particularly for our troops. Then and now.

Back on topic. I don't pay much attention to Chris Cox. He's a bit of a blowhard politico imo. As I recollect The President backed off the "snatch all the rednecks guns" rhetoric.
The Dems have to promise unrealistic crap to keep the lunatic fringe happy and the same goes the for Repubs. Don't let the rhetoric here or there give you a stroke, man. Polititians/ diapers always start out nice and clean but give them a little time and they end up smelling the same. Change 'em often!

No. It says you were VERY lucky, if said "incidents" actually occurred.

Get lucky? I don't say what I "accomplished" because, well, I know I got lucky.

Whatever. Being unwilling to think is not being a "MAN." You stand as case in point.

(sigh) Well, not law enforcement that didn't think.

If they're your words -- directly -- how can they be distorted?
You're an embarrassment to humanity.

1. Noted.
2. But I could have been over the top.
3. It's "unbecoming."
There was no need for me to personalize.
I have an unique perspective on firearms but that is no excuse.
Sorry for the verbal vomit.
