Thank you for acknowledg\ing that point.

Thiry years ago, there was no question- it was mainly a threat. Fifteen
years ago, there was a real question. Increasing, there is no question.
If a gun is drawn, it will probably be used. There is no such thing as
"second place" at that point.
Maybe I am a throughback, I don't know. If that is the case, then almost
everyone I know well enough to know about thier childhood is a throughback,
becuase the majority of us were taught that if there is any doubt, a gun is
loaded, and should be treated as such.
