I can't carry a gun when I visit my mother in Illinois.
Option one is ALWAYS running over and or dragging an assailant with my vehicle.
That's followed by spraying them with gasoline while in a gas station, beating them in the face with a swung belt buckle and when all else fails, gouging their eyes out with my thumbs.
I haven't been back for a couple of years, but when I go, my religious cousin always wants to wander around the north side of Chicago. Those days are pretty much done for me, given the SHARP increase in random violent robberies. My greatest fear is that she would try to protect an assailant FROM me. If you attack me in the street, NOTHING is off the table when it comes to a response... except submission. NO plan I EVER have will involve trusting in the good judgment and basic human decency of a strongarm robber. Bring your A game because my presumption is ALWAYS that you don't intend to leave witnesses.
