@Wayne-x1h This is stupid, untrained behavior no matter how you slice it. This guy is strong but has no idea how to fight, so he applied the most extreme reaction he could come up with. Now he'll have to pay this guy's medical bills, hire a lawyer, show up to court, maybe even serve jail time. But hey, at least he has his "honor." I thought we were supposed to be the prudent smart people, not a bunch of medieval morons? A total lack of self-control is not manly. In fact, it is quite the opposite; a very feminine, emotional response.
It just goes to show you should train in martial arts. That way, instead of doing what this guy did, you can apply a technique that disables this guy without guaranteeing a trip to the hospital.

@normtheteacher5485 Hey cool, maybe I'll check it out as I like videos like that (I've watched a lot of Paul Harrell videos as well).
I just post this because I've seen some weird behavior from people who exhibit the "cowboy mentality." A particular one comes to mind of a guy in a convenience store who is a firearms instructor. He was open carrying, had his range shirt on, etc. He was also a rather portly fellow and I'd venture to say not in the best of shape. In the security footage, some guy starts getting aggressively in his face and yells at him. No idea what he was saying because there was no audio, but he didn't even touch the instructor. The instructor kept backing away, backing away, drew his gun, backed himself into a corner, then shot the guy, all without being touched once. The guy died and the instructor got no charges. Now I am not someone who believes that an aggressor should receive no punishment, or that someone shouldn't stand their ground (in fact I think that would have gone a lot better had the instructor not immediately backed himself into a corner) but I do also believe that a person shouldn't be killed just for aggressively yelling. He may have been a drug addict in the worst moments of his life, or perhaps just mentally ill. In that particular circumstance the instructor could have just maced him and both could have come out alive and (relatively) unharmed. But I assume that, in his mind, he didn't "need" to carry mace because he can just shoot people who threaten him. Not the best attitude to have in my opinion. There are different levels of threat and a gun isn't the best solution to all of them. Sadly I can't find the link to this story now.

@Shanks4Smiles staying alive isn't about being right, it's about being intelligent. the 2A, along with every other right, has no inherent virtue or ability to protect us. those who sit in the white house, right now, would completely delete the 2A if they could. but practically, they can't, because they can't snap their fingers and make 500 million+ guns, spread out across the 3rd largest nation in the world, disappear. implementing a total repeal of the 2A, even if it were successfully voted on, would be a total bloodbath for everyone involved. there is nothing backing the existence of rights except force and a polite agreement between the members of a society. the government owns a monopoly on the legal use of force. that leaves polite agreement, which isn't worth piss in an ocean.
the reason why the 2A is so important is because it continues to vest us with the means of force to make the other rights have meaning. to make it worth anything, a civilian must NECESSARILY ignore the legality of the use of force in some situations. if it were to go away, it may not make a difference, as long as enough of us agree to continue manufacturing and bearing arms, but eventually if the government is strong enough, that idea will be quashed
