You ever get the urge to set some bait...and wait?
Not really.
I've remarked in various conversations and in various places that I see myself not unlike a badger. Badgers are rather unimpressive little critters, blending into the background as they quietly go about their business. We don't ask much - mostly to be left alone.
You won't see us at Klantifa rallies - that's the last place we want to be! You'll likely go your entire life without seeing one of us instigating a conflict. But don't mistake our reticence for timidity. Attack us and we become the stuff alphas only dream of being.
I don't wish to provoke, antagonize, or escalate the violent tendencies of my neighbors, but I keep a watchful eye on everything they do. I don't seek out danger - if anything I'm a coward by the definition of many alphas. "Run away and live to see another day" makes prudent sense to me. But corner me and I'll rip your face off.
As an aside, my brother and I auditioned several holsters yesterday. Still seeking the perfect rig for concealed carry.
