Bad guys are, first and foremost, cowards. That’s why they operate in packs. And they are only interested in defenseless victims.

There are conversations where that generalization can apply and be useful as part of making a point, but the strong way you used it, is completely wrong, a lot of bad guys love danger and excitement and by no means do they always operate in packs. When you hear of bad guys being armed to the hilt and security obsessed, it isn't cops they are afraid of, it is the other bad guys that scare them, the bad guys who know that they are armed to the hilt with guns everywhere.

My original claim still stands, backed up by DOJ crime statistics, that 99 out of 100 times a bad guy will leave if he even thinks you have a firearm in your possession.

You're talking about that other 1%, and they aren't bullet-proof.
