Thing is if I was this guy I would feel 100% vindicated because of this moment.
I think it would make sense depending on where at in the us you live. If you live in a high crime metropolitan area then I’d say go for it.
If you live in the Styx or in a relatively low crime area its overkill.
On the other hand, sometimes when a criminal sees you have a gun they just shoot you immediately that has happened in my city several times, someone pulls a gun on them but holds it like a limp dick because they are scared and the thing they don’t realize is the person robbing them at gun point likely uses that gun every day…
Its nuanced and I really don’t know the solution to it at all because if you take them away from everyone those people that use them every day and rob people at gun point will still have them and if you’re counting on the police to help you HA good luck. If they even show up you’ll be lucky that they don’t just shoot everyone.
Especially when responding to a “shots fired” call.

The Styx as in … the mythical river that runs through the underworld? Yeah, I can see that being a low crime area…
(Sorry, european here, if you meant someplace in the US, I’ve never heard of it)
Out in the sticks (or styx i suppose) just means outin the middle of nowhere, generally a mile between neighbors. Small town stuff
