Maybe I'm showing my age, but back in the day you had a dust-up/beef/fistfight/whatever... Someone "won", someone "lost", and next time you had a few beers you went round two. Then after that toe-to-toe you bought him a beer, or vice-versa, and that was that. Met my best friend that way at the old Dot Tavern. Broke his jaw and really messed him up in round one... Month or two later when he healed up I ended up with a good shiner, a sore jaw and banged up ears, etc... I beat him, he beat me, and we talk about it literally every time we see each other. ("Shoulda finished you off the first time!"..."F*ck you be happy I didn't put you in City Hospital the second time") etc.
Today? Someone 'disses you? Or lands seventeen more punches than you did?... Go get the Sig or Glock. Not saying or knowing what happened but, Jesus this is the stuff we really DON'T need right now... and I can hear the wingnut Anti's I work with already... "Why does anyone need ten guns??" etc etc. (plus the fat maggot DeLeo is already on the "stronger gun control" wagon, and this one happened in his town. This might get interesting - or buried, depending on who knows whoy, who's related to who, etc etc.
Just sayin"
