I am not sure, but wasn't it Rober Heinlein that said "an armed society is a polite society". If it wasn't him, then I need to give credit to the correct person because I have quoted that one many times.

Yes, of course it was him. That quote, has is noted in the article itself, is from "Beyond This Horizon", one of his earliest works.

An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
Robert A. Heinlein
