Saw a 50 something man with a pistol at the Starbucks and felt lucky that Im not so freighted of the world that I cant go to the coffee shop without being armed. Saggy nervous people with guns make me edgy. Living here in Arizona we hear time and time again how some scoundrel on the edge takes advantage of our liberal gun laws and then shoots up a strip mall. I looked at that guy and saw no deterrent to the "bad men" but rather a question in my mind, "Is this the day when hes had enough and takes matters in his own hands?" After all were talking about a guy loaded for bear in a room full of people drinking coffee with three girls behind the counter. I stood about a foot in back of him while he bough coffee. No strap on that weapon. Easy to grab. What was to stop me as his situational awareness was clearly zero? The only thing that could stop me from taking his gun and using it one him was the only thing that could have stopped me: Im no killer or criminal. He was in no position to slow me or anyone half determined down. But standing there, paying attention to nothing or no one not the coffee in his hands, he made his unsecured weapon very available to someone not a civilized as me. So I got my coffee and split.
