Agreed...first prize. The other day my wife was driving through our old neighborhood (the one that prompted me to get my permit) and a guy who we had some unpleasant encounters with in the past stumbled out of his apt. and right into fast flowing traffic, directly inf ront of my wife. She slammed on her brakes, almost hitting the guy, who didn't even flinch. He did, however, pause, look directly at her and shot her with a 'finger gun.' I took this to mean "Watch out or I'll cap you."

Another time an unleashed pack of pitbulls attacked my dog (6 one 1) and knocked my wife over while she was holding our six month old. She rose and kicked each one very hard, multiple times and dissipated the situation as the owners weren't doing a thing. Had it escalated it would have been nice to know the dogs could easily have been dealt with.

Not saying we should all carry guns and be lawless, but, then again population control has to happen through some means
