It is amazing to me how alarmingly common situations like the ones posted are becoming. A small tussle between 2 people can turn into a mob brawl, or turn into gladiatorial style combat with a crowd gathering and surrounding them. It's not as ridiculous as it should be to think that society can break down so easily into anarchism over such simple things.
The hits just keep on coming...

The primary reason I'm really hoping the Texas Firearms Freedom Act passes. It's been being thrown around for a long while now, and I'm not sure how far it will get, but if it does pass, I will once again thank GOD I am a Texan. Restricting firearm ownership is like putting a child in a shark tank. The sharks still have their teeth, the bad guys still have guns. The law abiding citizen that wants to register his gun that he is proficient with get's grilled by the Feebs, while the crooks and criminals are out terrorizing people with illegal guns. I personally feel that I should be able to carry my weapon with me wherever I damn well please. Here's an idea, using Marine Corps logic, which would actually kind of make sense in the civilian world; Let people take their guns wherever they want. Let's say a bank. Put a clearing area at the front. A condition 4 weapon is pretty hard to rob a bank with. Keep the guards armed and condition 1, citizens can still carry, unload on the way in, load on the way out, no real hassle there. Everybody is safe, everybody wins.
In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

I know it was seasonal. I could not find it after January. I was hoping that it started up again. That would be great.
Back on topic:
I feel safer driving around the Stan then a lot of places in the States. Here I know it is coming and everything is overt. Back in the States it has to be low-vis or the LEO will freak out and the “food-stamp Hordes” will complain that you are targeting them (when they are the ones that are causing most of the problems….got to love the irony ). That makes it more dangerous because you have to get stuff out. The real problem is that if the food-stamp Hordes attack your vehicle (I have a F250 with a LARGE brush guard) and you simply run down a great deal of them you are then the bad guy. It is never their fault. They complain if they get shot looting your house. Douche-nozzles

What is funny is so do I. Everything is out in the open. Me. The other guy. Haji-bob knows if he does anything stupid I'm going to face shoot his ass. I know that if I'm not paying attention for a split second, he'll have his buddy hiding in the berms over there blow me and my buddies into burnt toast. Back home, I don't know who could be carrying what. Being essentially blind to a possible threat. At least here there generally is some kind of warning, or at least that "gut check" feeling of knowing something is wrong. I've been 100% correct every time I've gotten that feeling too. Try clearing a compound, sleeping in it, only to wake up and find out you slept next to 120lbs of bad ****ing day in powdered form. I feel you bro.
