Not the best example of guy who needs a gun! Just thought it sounds odd him saying he needs it for protection ha ha. Sometimes you have to see the irony in life.
I'll relate a little life history to you. I was a returning vet in 1973, from our cool summer camp in SE Asia. I was, at that time, down to 5'7' after entering the military at 5'71/2", and all of 125 pounds. I had a bad attitude with the world, and was still frankly pissed about my welcome back to the world.
I sought out young men that looked just like this guy, to make them extremely angry, and induce them into a fight, by whatever means necessary. Don't judge me, you were not there. I lost some fights, I won some. You learn not to judge the dog in the fight, and judge the fight in the dog.
So, in your opinion this man does not deserve the right to defend himself without going to violent interaction? That my friend is your issue. I'll not claim my experience as the best time of my life, and I regret my aggressive behavior to this day. I was mad as all hell, and someone was going to take my anger at being treated in a manner I felt was wrong. Had one of these guys carried a handgun and reacted by taking my idiot ass out, he'd have been justified.
I can only thank God that he looks out for idiots and damned fools, or I'd not be here to post this. This guy may well wear his heart on his sleeve. Saying he's not threatened by a violent person any more than a 98 pound weakling is the epitome of improper judgment based on appearances. This man deserves the right to defend himself without being struck just as much as a 95 pound female does.
