I visited my fifteen y.o. probation client at his home the other day at about 2pm. At about 4pm, he and another kid jumped a guy at the same place, beat him pretty bad and took his money. My client's now incarcerated. Here's the deal. What if he and his buddy had jumped me instead? It probably would've gone one of two ways:
(1) Both he and his underage accomplice would've been shot by me several times and likely been killed or severely wounded. I'd have lost my job for carrying. I'd have spent the next months or years of my life fighting various court battles.
or (2) they'd have gotten the better of me, taken my money and my gun and either killed me or beat me pretty bad.
My guy was actually arrested two days after the assault for possession of a handgun.
Ya know, this is what you call a no-win scenario.
