Mmm... though in that instance it requires a considerable measure of just sheer luck to successfully counter a homicide-bomber with pistol fire. In Israel, that's only happened about twice, and they've had practice. There's been one instance at least in Iraq, but that was with a .50-cal sniper rifle in a battle and it rather raised the shooter's eyebrows at the time. One expects a man body-shot with a single bullet to fall down, not to blow into a cloud of pink mist.

Bruce, permit me to advise you against trying too hard to look like an asshole early on. If you are indeed a genuine, spherical asshole, it will become evident in due course. Give it time to transpire. If you are not a spherical asshole (one no matter what angle you look from) perhaps you'd rather not convey an unfortunate first impression. Ball's in your court.
