To me, a major aspect of this thread is "context". The discussion centers on what-can-be-done versus what-should-be-done versus what-is-prudent-to-do.Beiruty wrote:Please for your own sanity, do not visit Lebanon, the country that is.

If I see someone with a rifle at a range, I will keep my eye on him
If I see someone with a rifle in a hunting environment, I will keep my eye on him
If I see someone walking down the street & carrying a rifle, I will be on alert
If I see someone with a rifle coming into a Luby's cafeteria, I will be on high alert
If I see someone with a rifle in a school setting, I will be on high, high, high alert and ready to move, move, move
I stand by my view of MY world: If I see someone walking down the street (any street, anywhere) with an RPG, I will keep my eye on him (or her). In my world (civilian, American suburban), such scenes are not the norm.
