Didn't the FBI used to carry 9mm, then went to 10mm, then to 40 S&W and are now back to 9mm. All of those changes were for a reason, but they still ended back where they started.
I would sure as hell think twice if I was the city boy. Damn!When I was a kid I saw firsthand a fight de-escalated by a slightly less physical "country boy" who told a "city" tough guy that, "You may beat me up... but if I get in a good shot & knock you out I will pull down your pants & **** you".

I understand what you mean. The classification of it is as a lethal weapon, but that does not mean that all uses of it are considered lethal. They aren't. If they were, every round you fire at the range would be a felony.
I'm sure you're right about their responses because the average cop is going to tell you what conventional wisdom is. However, it is the prosecutor that has the responsibility of interpreting the actual law. That's why I talk to them about this kind of thing.
So this was a BULL**** thread ???Yes,....we've all been had...
