>> I seriously doubt that all of you Zim sympathizers truly believe he was in mortal danger... It is just totally irrelevant whether he was or wasn't. The question is whether he THOUGHT he was. While neither of us knows for sure, the point of carrying a weapon is for self defense. If you can't use it when you're getting your head beaten into the pavement I'm not sure when you can. I've been in Z's position before, that is, having my head beaten into the hard pavement by someone I'd never seen before and for no apparent reason. Had I had a weapon at the time, I might well have used it. Was my life in mortal danger? Looking back, probably not -- OTOH, the guy who attacked me did kill a guy in a bar fight a couple years later and went to prison for it. You just don't know over the course of 60 seconds where it might lead. I'm not sure why you're being so hard-headed about this. It is obvious that you have one view, and most other people have a different view. You're entitled to yours. Why don't you just move on?
