[QUOTE="english kanigit, post: 2267548, member: 4701"] I am inclined to agree that is often times the case. I actually use the same comparison myself at times. Let us think about this though. Now I'm on a mobile iThing and don't have a lot of my data handy so I'm going off memory and recollection of a few presentations here. If you think something I'm saying is wrong or out of place by all means speak up and bring solid info. Lets consider an average hoodrat/VCA (violent criminal actor)/ ne'er do well. They are probably in their mid-to-late 20s, Physically fit from growing up in "gladiator school" Fighting for position within their own pecking order and with other groups. It's not his first rodeo, getting into a fight or physical confrontation is a matter of some twisted honor-code and as such it probably happens pretty regularly. He's probably got an arrest record which would mean he has been taken into custody by men who are armed and work together in groups more than a couple if times. Additionally, he's probably had a gun pointed at him by his peers more than a few times over his "career". Now, considering the above, do you really think this person by himself is going to be afraid of you because you have a heater on your hip? What about adding a few of his peers to the situation which will then risk his pride and embarrassment all of which equals even greater motivation to win? Are you comfortable with violence? I can all but guarantee that this person would be. Initiative is a very real and tangible thing and I myself have been on the receiving end of that more times than I care to count in training. That is a very dark place to be. Predators do prey on the weak. Defining what that entails can be a very uncomfortable conversation. Ek [/QUOTE]
