I think some people are a bit too influenced by movies when it comes to that. One of the last things you’d want to do when someone is confronting you with a weapon is to taunt the bastard about using it. That bullshit only works if you happen to be a character played by Arnold, Stallone, Kurt Russell, Mel Gibson or any of those guys on a movie that came out in the late 80s to early 90s…or any villains in said movies (*such a cliche with the villains especially…they’ll get right up close to the gun and say a line like “You don’t have the balls.”) In real life, daring a sociopath to actually use the weapon will most indeed have negative results for you.
I used to live on Geary and Gough, and walked down to the TL all the time. It’s not a circus like it used to be but it’s not exactly St. Francis Woods either. Rectangle as fuck is pretty accurate, don’t go threatening people down there.
