I know that I am going to regret posting this article, but I am going to do
it anyway.  Karl, consider what would have happened if the man had a gun
instead of a tire iron.  I am genuinely sorry about your injuries and I DO
mean that sincerely, but if the man was THAT drunk to do that amount of
damage with a tire iron, I tend to think that the you, your wife and the
woman might well be DEAD if he owned a gun.

Although the result of the NY law stopped you, a person who IS well versed
in handguns from being able to protect yourself, it also presumably stopped
a drunken man from owning one.  I acknowledge that if ANYONE wants to get a
gun, they can, no law or not, but at least that crazy drunk, did NOT have
one.

Again, I am sorry for your injuries, and hope that you and your wife
recover soon.
