After saying all that, you must be an EXCELLENT judge of character. You can be as careful as you want of the company that you keep, and STILL get caught up. Because, contrary to popular belief, not all drug dealers are THUGS. And even if you are an excellent judge of character, a lot of people are not. And how do you know that their life was not threatened? Do you know how this game is played? Have you ever played with the justice system and the police? THEY DO NOT PROTECT YOU LIKE THEY SAY THEY DO!!!!! So how do you know everyone's situation in this? But you have no sympathy? The goverment is grateful for all who think like you. *Shaking my head*
I bet it's easy to sit up and say what you will and will not allow when a gun is not in your presence, and neither is the person who is not scared to use it.
