Dang, JoeMoney - You going for a double or nothing here on your win?
"WRONG! Criminals are not scared of you or your gun. I don't fear a normal citizen who has a gun because I know they will be hesitant to use it. Criminals have big egos and are scared of few people. Remember, a lot of criminals listen to rap music, and boy is that a rush of ego!
Joemoney, you don't fear a normal (BTW is this NORMAL the same NORMAL you used to describe a NORMAL Killer??) citizen, because he or she isn't out to rob you or kidnap you, or otherwise bring harm to you.
I work with nothing but convicted felons, some 40 - 50, and see many of them daily, all at least twice a week. YOU don't know criminals sir. The biggest deterrent to them performing their trade is the possibility that the intended victim might be armed. PERIOD.
