    You are arguing with a profession troll. By giving them attention, they get what they want. This is a critical point. You automatically lose when you respond to a narcissist. They don't want to convince you they are right. They don't want to engage in an honest discussion. They want attention/replies. What you want cannot be achieved unless both sides want it. What he wants can be achieved simply by drawing a response out of you. If you understand what I am getting at, you will understand utter futility in trying to debate someone who only cares about the number of people paying attention to them.

    If they're dumb enough to say it in America ---> Yup... Enjoy your soccer foreigner. Maybe someone will start another thread about minorities so you can run through that thread with your burning cross like you do the other ones. Have fun with that. Enjoy.

    Shooting armless people is criminal.

    I'm fully aware that training can help one withstand pepper spray, I believe I posted video from such a training session. However, having experienced pepper spray exposure where the spray did not hit my eyes directly, I am fully confident that if I hit a person in the chest with pepper spray as they are charging me, they will be unable to subdue me and the likely result will be me on top of and in control of the person within seconds.

    To be fair, I have training regarding take down techniques for aggressive opponents and experience using these techniques in practice. In this way, my training resembles what an LEO should be able to do. As such, the challenge I issued would be a reasonable analogue for an LEO dealing with an unarmed, aggressive opponent.

    Of course, the discussion we were having had to do with LEOs dealing with unarmed opponents. The specific challenge was for you to overpower me while unarmed as I hit you no higher than the chest with pepper spray.

    Care to post a link to a video that tests the proposition above?

    As do I. I have no doubt that you have more experience with firearms (though I am a gun owner and go out shooting regularly), but I also have little doubt that I have at least as much training as you regarding unarmed self defense.

    Interesting that you would use a lack of posts in gun threads (are you talking about D&D threads or Hangout threads?) as "evidence" that I don't know anything about self defense. Just another mistaken assumption, I suppose.

    Note that at no time did I challenge you to a fight. I offered a free beating, unopposed, on me, should you choose that over $50. You seem angry enough that it might be motivation to actually take me up on the challenge.

    Learn to read, not only did you not understand here, but you apparently don't know what a quote is, evidenced by the line in your sig which is something I never wrote.

    Guess you're just OK with being a liar. Sad.
