wolfwingsHate Crime that happened in Washington State, description and what-not past this link.
In short, a group of furs got jumped by a pair of gay-bashers of the second-worst type, and two physically assaulted. If you live in or near the Bellevue, WA (Washington State, USA for out-of-USAers) or even in nearby states, please read the link, and post a note there if you see anything to help.

Point 3: True.
Point 4: True.
The problem is, most guns come with slug ammo, not flechette or pre-frag. And most people don't even know the other two exist, or that they're legal for almost anyone to purchase.
Again, I agree with you on all points. But firearms take just as much training as any other form of self-defense, while most people view them as an instant cure-all like Prozac and it's siblings are for ones emotions. :-)
And I agree. If you pull a gun, and they do any movement except away from you or straight down face-first onto the ground (depending on what you said) the bullets start going off. Not into the air, not into the ground by their feet, at them. You pulled the trump card, be prepared to play it if they called your bluff, or don't play high-stakes like that.
