Civil disobedience-real long

[ViggoG]

I'm reminded of many years ago before "55" When a alcohol influenced neighbor Knocked on my back door after midnight, Loudly cursing my wife for some thing that he thought that she told to his wife about him.
He was a violent man of such character as to brutally beat many lesser men in bar room brawls when they disagreed with him.
I myself was combat trained and well able to give him more than he wanted, but there was an easier and more permanent way to settle it.
I simply walked to the door with "Phoenix", pushed the door open with my foot and chambered a round as he stood there with his eyeballs fixed on the end of the barrel.
On my command "You stupid SOB get your a** off my property, NOW !!
He left without speaking, and never had any occasion to raise any more of that kind of crap in the future.
The shock of having a neighbor who would not allow him to be the block bully sobered him up and he soon became a very good neighbor.
Had I chosen to bust his butt he would have gone on as usual.
As a final statement some years later he introduced me to some of his visitors as "The Only Man Who Ever Called Him A SOB and made him think that IT was the Nicest Thing that I Could Say".
Yes a firearm can be very effective just to have provided that the others know that you will not hesitate to protect yourself and those around you !
It is true, an armed Citizen is the only effewctive Law until the police arrive, and can serve the public need when called upon to protect the rights of himself and other neighbors.
