That the man who was packing for real "lost his nerve."

Most who talk the tough talk will not acknowledge a simple fact. You will not know how you will react until faced with it.

This is the reason police and military train, and relentlessly so.

This is also why many gun owners have their guns taken away and used against them.

This racist guy is damn lucky though. So is Mr. Mohammed.
