A bunch of dorky teens are not going to be armed but a senior citizen (I know-it's Whataburger) may very well be armed. My $20 hat and assaulted. Would anyone pull a gun and order the jerk to stand down while the police were called?
See my earlier reply #35 https://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php ... 0#p1211189

This person is irritating but not deadly, so an irritating response, such as pepper gel, would be my first choice. If I were to later perceive a threat to which force or deadly force was an appropriate response, then my openly carried S&W M&P M2.0 9mm 5inch is available.

A menacing person walks up on you while enjoying a burger and starts shouting at you and then attacks with a drink. You have no way of being sure this is not just the start of a much more aggressive attack.

Not everyone has the capability to hand out a knuckle sandwich. So if you are weaker or older you just have to be assaulted?
I am a 66 year old, 70% disabled, retired Vietnam Era veteran. My knuckle sandwich dispensing days are long past. An appropriate verbal response to distract the attacker as I prepare to potentially deploy pepper gel would seem reasonable. In the absence of a greater threat, of course.
