you contradict yourself approx 4 times in this short statement.

I disagree,

You obviously never had to defend yourself or your family from a drug-fueled homeless guy looking for money.

LOL!

This has also been true in my experience. Kind of have to act like you belong there. I used to make my motions over zealous as if I were in an angry state of mind. Like walking from my car door to the pump mumbling and nodding my head. Looking a bit crazy. If I noticed someone watching me I would just stare at them with eyes furrowed until they looked away.

95% of the time homeless guys are not looking to attack or hurt you, they are just hungry and need help. But I am interested, what happened in the situation you are speaking of?

You're simply living a fantasy world if you honestly believe that every homeless person isn't plotting to murder and rape you and your family. The homeless are savage and merciless and will not stop until we have all been killed and sodomized.

Yeah, just submit and let them have whatever they want. They just "need help" and are "hungry.". After all, it's not like they live in a nation which gives free housing, food, healthcare, and transportation to its truly poor.

I don't carry it with me at all times, but I have a sword from Pakistan underneath the back seat of my truck.

I have shown it to a few pedestrians for shits and giggles.

Just say something like, "I don't have any money—but I have Jesus. Let me tell you the story of how Jesus saved me."

I think that would work in most situations. I can't imagine too many thugs sticking around to hear some penniless, white boy's story about Jesus.

I have had plenty of contact with homeless people. Have you actually sat down and had a conversation with one? There are a few people like that of course. But mostly what you said is merely a misconception.

Just a little bit of paranoia in this thread.

Look, we're trying to have a serious conversation. Lives are on the line, so your trolling has no place here.

I've never pulled a gun on someone but I have had a gun pulled on me. It really shocked me that I didn't shite my pants.
