Odds are if you pull a gun on someone mugging you, you won't have to use it, but let's not make this thread gun control thread mk.3.
Alex C:
I should say, I've been threatened twice, actually, not really held up. Also, it's kinda funny, but I've responded to a couple of situations now where tough guy the gun carrier got stabbed, but yeah, it's a digression.
Barmymoo:
It actually physically shocked me when you said that. I always think I'm completely down with the differences between the UK and US but things like this remind me that I actually just assume you guys are all just living the same life as people here.
Also, SWitty, Leatherman Wave high five! o/
I want to get it engraved, because I'm not yet cool enough to have a toolbox code (theatre types with lots of their own tools have a code in the colourcoding system but one single Leatherman isn't sufficient to earn one).

For the most part, we are, just with Obama and the Constitution rather than (whatever the new PM's name is) and the Queen. In fact, there's actually more violent crime per capita in the UK than the US by last count, so it isn't like there's a running gun battle every time you go to the store (although it would make it more interesting). Not many people carry guns unless it is part of their job, it actually surprised me that he mentioned carrying a gun, and it surprises me whenever I see someone that I think to be carrying. And I live in the "wild west". The part that would probably shock you more is that in the more rural areas, it would probably be hard to find a house that doesn't have at least one rifle and one shotgun, gun ownership and hunting are that ubiquitous.
I need to either get a new Leatherman or find my old one, and figure out how to fit it into my normal everyday carry. There are quite a few times that I would find it useful, but I'm iffy on how fashionable having it in that little belt carrier it comes with would be.
ummmkay:
Yeah I am from the South and I know a LOT of people who have their concealed weapons permit, keep a gun in their vehicle, collect guns, go shooting for fun, etc etc. I had never even seen any sort of firearm in real life until last year when some friends took me to a shooting range. It was scary.
