It is probably likely. An armed society is a polite society.
The two best quotes from "Roadhouse":
#1-Sam Elliot: "She's got entirely too many brains to have an azz like that."
#2-Patrick Swayze:"Be nice until it's time to not be nice." d:^)
“It is probably likely. An armed society is a polite society.”
In the 1980s, in Los Angeles, there was a rash of road-rage shootings. One thing everyone noticed, as the incidents got publicized, was that drivers became much ‘nicer’.
While I don’t agree with shooting someone that cuts you off and delays your arrival time at Tommy’s by 0.00047 seconds, the effect was still real.
(but, come to think of it, a delay in arriving to Tommy’s, or In-and-Out, may be worth the threat of some lead...but not definitely not a shooting)
Could it be that the Bikers’ promise to be there might have scared them away?
And yet, many of you say “NO” to open carry.
“An armed society is a polite society’’. Indeed it is.
All the demands that open carry be suspended for the convention probably made the issue front and center in the minds of the street thugs. They want to go to jail to “make a statement” but they don’t want to carry that statement making thing any farther than that.
