Nicely said.

Actually, what I express - by content - is owed to Freud.

And you wonder why a .45 Kimber Pro Carry, with a couple clips is sitting in my car glovebox right now? You'll never see it, but I know its there. I like to believe it is more for attitude adjustment in a situation like that, than for actual use.

If the driver produced a firearm in that situation, his passenger would still be alive.

And if someone in the crowd was similiarly armed?

same result, but worth keeping in mind

Exactly same result, because being caught with a firearm, and going up to kick the living crap out of someone is not a smart thing to do - big time jail time for that. Having a firearm tends to make people more level headed and think twice about his or her actions if you've ever had experience with one. I can understand not knowing much about it though over in your neck of the woods though.
