A firearm is an inanimate object. I fear a firearm no more than I fear a tablesaw.

This table saw is portable, so it would be able to chase you down.

----------------------------------

Go hang out in a trauma ER for a weekend and see all the crap people use to promote mayhem onto each other.

A gun is a rather impersonal way to show your displeasure at another human being.

----------------------------

Check out what a broken bottle will do to skin.

Check out the xray of a fractured skull. A baseball bat, tire iron or in a pinch? A brick will do nicely.

A stick or 2x4 makes a nice club.

Iron skillets can be wielded with no problem, or the hot fat/oil won't break a bone - but how's about a visit to the burn ward or a few dozen skin grafts.

Look about the room you are in and use a little imagination. You can pretty much beat the crap out of anyone with what's at hand.

Me?

I prefer not to let anyone get really close to me.

I don't like to be touched.

Don't lie, we all know you're touched!

That's a different kinda 'contact' - stay on topic?

-----------------------

I do have a healthy respect, that borders on fear, of any electrical tool.

It makes me pay attention to detail.

I just saw a clip of a TV show where one of the characters is sitting in a bar, reading the comics.

She states that she is just looking at Charlie Brown falling down after Lucy pulls the football away when he tries to kick it.

"If Charlie Brown was packing, no one would mess with him."

Probably not.
