What ever happened to the days of honor and a good ole bout of fisticuffs over disagreements? Mate those days are long gone, if it's not weapons it's a group of guys attacking one guy there is no such thing as a fair fight now. When I was 18 me and two of my mates got into it with three other lads they were older think they were 24-26, next week we see them again and they bought us a pint each and we all had a laugh about it. No chance that would happen now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, on a serious note, we moved from England after both my step sons and a neighbours kid were robbed and threatened, on different occasions, by gangs, at knife point, all within the same week. I realised that, short of watching over them 24/7, which would be impossible to do, the only way i could keep them safe was to move away. I left behind a business that i had built up for twenty years plus all my friends and family to move to Canada which is where my wife is from. We didn't quite move away from society, Canada's not that bad, but its as safe as houses here. It was really hard at first but now, i wouldn't go back for the world.

I was telling Leonie some time back that I've had guns pointed at me twice (maybe a third time but I can't remember if they had weapons drawn) 1 time in a robbery at a poker game 1 time by a swarm of law enforcement (wrong place wrong time) I was easily an order of magnitude more terrified when the cops drew down on me even though I had done nothing wrong.

I am betting many people with little or no gun education or education straight up for that matter still carry. It's hard for people who have had the right to bare arms have it taken away but it would be a step. Only issue is criminals would still be packing.

The problem with that is the smaller guy will be the one who started the fight, like I said the guy who started the trouble is the one who pulled the gun. That's why he is a coward he went looking for trouble then decided he was going to pull his gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
