You were well within your rights to ask the punks to pipe down.
The fact that you were wearing your sidearm, which clearly had an effect on these kids, does not make you a "bully" or wrong for doing what you did.
Just a thought for some of the other Freepers on this post: Do you think England would be having such a problem w/ their youth if law abiding citizens were permitted to carry? I would really hate to have the kids in the US morph into the kids (punks) in the UK who seem to have the run of the place (no offense to the UK Freeper crowd).

Just a thought for those who cite pointless examples: Our youth violence and death rate is exponentially larger than England's.
