Little to opinionated....in a good way. Probably still has it in him, but will need to run to the Icy-hot afterwords..
I count myself among that crowd.

Re: One thing I'm not clear about.
I was a bit of a scrapper in my youth, but having enough grey hair now, it is easier to defuse situations now.
I did have a situation while I was not carrying (I was not licensed at the time) where two youngsters decided to start a fight in the middle of the road in front of my sisters house (nice middle class neighborhood) over a girl. One guy had the upper hand and was about to do potentially serious injury to the other kid. I ran in and pulled him off and got in between him and the kid on the ground. At one point he looked like he was going to try to go after me, but my brother in law probably cured him of that idea.
Had I been armed, I would not of acted any differently, but looking back on it, I would of not drawn at that point. I have enough fighting ability so I do not have to resort to shoot to protect myself. If it would of escalated beyond that, and I felt I was as risk of my life or my family, things would be different.
Both kids left, I got both plate numbers, and both kids (17 year olds) got a visit from the local constables. My sister, as it turns out, knew both of the mothers of the two boys, and filled them in on what happened. The local constables were probably bad enough, but the wrath of the mothers will make them think twice.
Standing toe to toe with a 17 year old football player in a ready fight stance at 40+ years old was an adrenalin producing event, but I knew I could at least get him to the ground and secure him (while probably ending his football aspirations, but hey...not my problem)
Sorry, long answer for a short question
