re: #119 Lidane

Oh, but didn’t you know? You’ve got a moral obligation to carry a gun and be armed. Otherwise you’re a gutless coward who hates your spouse and children and would stand by while Kitty Genovese got raped and killed again.

If it’s your neighbor then there’s no obligation to carry. The gun can be in your safe when you decide to take action.

The whole Kitty Genovese thing kind of hits home to me since I actually did once stop a vicious, drunken assault on a woman by waving a rifle at the assailant. I had already called 911. My apartment building was kind of shaped like a capital H so I could see other people in their apartments looking down on the assault in the parking lot. Later, when I was being prepared to testify, the Prosecutor told me that I was the only witness, nobody else in the building called 911 or agreed to be witnesses.
