stop being a fuckwit user.
user's point was valid, Dick. But, I think we lost Sonny, damn it. Now, I might never know his advice about how to vote in the 2012 election!
No it wasn't it was a fuckwit response.
Defense means you have to wait for crime to happen before you act, offense means you take steps to prevent crime from happening.
Like me wearing my weapon open carry, it's an offensive deterent.
unlike having to fish it out of hiding for the criminal to know he chose wrong.
You know even an empty holster when i'm in an establishment where weapons are not allowed lets everyone know I carry and that is a proactive deterent.
None of which is passive, which was the point. You introduced the "passive" language into the conversation. If you're actively deterring crime, it's proactive. If you're actively prepared to defend yourself against crime, it's a proactive defensive measure. Right?
