the possessions may not be worth killing someone for, but your dignity and right not to be pushed around may well be. I don't know if you've ever had to deal with bullies, but if you went to a boarding school, as I did, you'd observe quite quickly that the population was divided into bullies, victims and people who stood up for themselves. As long as there were people willing to be victims, there were bullies. But the bullies only ever tried it once on those of us who stood up for ourselves; even if we took a beating they found it wasn't worth their own pain to try again. Having said that, I wouldn't carry a gun or knife either, unless I really knew how to use them and was prepared to do so. It makes far more sense to learn to defend yourself with whatever is to hand.
