Re: informing a threat

My reasoning against telling a threat I am armed as a deterrence step is basically the same as against open carrying (i.e. proving that I am armed) as a tactical choice. (Note: I think OC should be legal. I just would not generally choose to do so). The reasoning is thus:

While {saying I am armed|open carrying} would probably discourage many, and quite likely most, of your average lower-level thugs, I think there is a class of truly dangerous thugs who, if anything, would be more motivated to attack me or just shoot me right off the bat. And it is against those guys that I want and need the element of surprise, so I am not going to give it up by {telling them|open carrying}.
