If someone fired a tommy gun in front of me, I probably would do whatever they said.
I remember when Frank Hamer went to get the locked ballot box in Duval County, LBJ had it guarded by a group of Mexican bandits.
It was said that Hamer put his hand on his 1911 and simply said “git”. That was enough, they left.
Of course the fact that it was Frank Hamer probably had something to do with it.
Thank you FReepers. I will call 911 away from the mob and stay safe. I keep my hand cannon available as needed.
