I was in a hardware store once and I guy was looking for a fight. It didn't happen, but he was an idiot to start something in a store filled with weapons. Rakes, hoes, yard tools, garden tools. I was standing next to a rack of items hanging from hooks that stuck out from a perforated board. If necessary I was planning on putting one in his eye. You and me are old soldiers. Almost anything is a weapon no fear of using anything as such.
