So maybe both numbnuts would clear at the same time.

If standing chap threatened he would use his left hand, in any case he is a head case for doing that just because being asked to move his heap out the way and it's doubtful he is registered.

Had I been the guy in the car I would have had the gun out of the holster and had the idiot on the sidewalk at gun point.

Well had I been the guy in the car I would have literally pissed my pants and apologized in a hurry. I'm not cut out for that sort of confrontation.

What I love is the dude in the background who casually strolls by with his tray of Starbucks, completely unfazed by two dudes with guns going at it.

I'm not even surprised by that. I had my scout car pulled up on the sidewalk with roof lights on at about noon on a weekday on a busy Toronto street in the downtown core and I had a guy at gun point. A number of people actually walked between my, my pointed pistol and the client I was dealing with.....never underestimate the stupidity and lack of awareness of the masses.

It's the guy with the gun or blade you don't see that you have to watch for.

If I were in that situation now, I would have just backed up and found another route if I could instead of sitting there and "stewing".

Off topic:

Im teaching my son to not confront (anyone) unless it's absolutely a must.

No such thing as a fair fist fight anymore, I've seen it with my own eyes people's faces getting slashed. Dorchester, Roxbury and other neighborhoods in Boston.

Keep anyone arms length away, defuse the situation do not escalate

I'm not worried about being shot but about being slashed, rolling on the ground with someone with needles, that's my concern in fights.

Stick ups are not like in the movies, it's crack heads looking for the next hit using a box cutter as a weapon or smash n grabs, what I'm suppose to do run after someone as he steals a woman's purse? I'm no hero

People with substance abuse are desperate more now than ever, most of their revenue streams are dried up and now they are looking for robbery to support their habit/sickness.

another example: road rage, a few months ago someone wanted to fight with me, both of us got heated, he got out, I got out, I said what? You want to roll on the ground because your angry in traffic? chill, instantly cooler heads prevailed.

and I must add, you need blood check after a fight.

For a single bloody punch in a bar fight, my friend lost a day in the hospital for aids test, and since he got a fresh eye laser operation, he lost a other day at to check this too.

despite the fact in canada the health care is free, if you need those results fast, you need to go private and pay $$$

Every time I'm anywhere near Montreal, a visit is a must.

That's clearly a pre-COVID line up. Look how close they all are. Simpler times back then in those days...
