Yes, . . . if a person is involved in law enforcement, . . . less than lethal devices should be a part of his weapon loadout.

I don't think that applies to non LEO's as it is not our responsibility to be nice, . . . caring, . . . and gentle with the bg's.

A bg will not get my attention until I am of the opinion he/she is: a) capable of grievous physical injury to me or someone under my watch, b) willing to do the same, and c) has communicated a desire or threat to do that.

At darn near 65, having survived open heart surgery, 3 tours in Nam, and 50 some years on the street, . . . I'm not fisticuffing, tasing, pepper spraying, or whacking the bg with a night stick.

I have a 1911, . . . and I'm going to defend myself. Nuff said.

May God bless,
Dwight
