The whole story stinks to high heaven. Hanging out at 2am just chatting with the cousin, when a guy walks up on you so close that he can ask for and then you give him a cigarette is beyond stupid, unless you know the person very well. When people of the shady persuasion have tried that old "hey you got...insert: time, a zener diode, a light??? while walk towards me I have stepped back & laterally and said: "No - move on!" Only happened once to me at a gas station and the fellow understood my point and moved away quickly after looking at my OC pistol which was not immediately visible from his approach from the alley behind the station. I am polite and nice whenever possible, however bad guys use goodwill to close as much distance as possible before attacking, thus at times one must be ready to move and fight if necessary. This kid made it WAY too easy for the thug. I feel bad he lost his pistol, but stupid is as stupid does. :uhoh:
