I'd like to know more details about the 10 situations this guy has been in that made him draw his weapon.
At face value, it sounds to me like he brandishes his weapon whenever he wants to boost his ego. You've already told us he has had problems with the law, so its guaranteed he is not reporting to the police these ten times he claims to have feared for his life or safety, and if the people he has drawn down on havent reported it to the police, that proves those people are representing the criminal element. What is this guy doing around so many thugs? Unless he is one himself.
