This was pretty interesting. Never trust a man in capris.

So, really… who’s the one with such a stiffy for a Hollywood “hero” that he refers to him by the actor’s name? Project much? 😉

Also… the argument to “drive a crappy car and live in a crappy house and get a crappy job” is Reductio Ad Absurdum. Look it up.

I’ve had a Rolex for 17 years and honestly have never even thought about it attracting criminals. Fortunately, it hasn’t, yet. Until recently (when my collection multiplied like rabbits), I wore the Rolex daily for about 15 years.

I’ve been licensed to carry for 27 years. I’ve never been in a situation where I thought I would have to draw. Ever. I’ve also never seen a single Jason Statham movie.

As RF said… don’t go to stupid places with stupid people (doing stupid things at stupid times). I don’t. So, while I’ve never been in a situation where I was concerned about being targeted for my Rolex, I do realize that bad things can happen, even in “good places at good times” like dinner in the restaurant in the story in the embedded video.

Every year, without being a Hollywood “hero,” hundreds of thousands to millions (depending on the source) of Americans successfully defend themselves against criminals with a firearm – in most cases never firing a shot. Sometimes firing shots… and historically far more accurately than the police in similar situations.

Sure! Why not? Ping me so we can talk.

Because you could get mugged. Not because “Rolex bruh, Rolex, danger Rolex danger clickbait Rolex death danger Rolex.”

But because some people want your stuff and are willing to take it from you.

Drive a rusty old Honda. Live in a dinky apartment. Don’t have a decent job so you won’t be tempted to have any assets that would immediately place you in ortal danger. Maybe imagine a gun is somehow going to protect you (love the self defense crowd, typically overweight wheezing American men in their 40s and up who love to imagine themselves being Jason Statham).

And Rolex is bad, mmmkay? Can I get a job writing on this blog, guys?

Watch out! Time to maybe not second guess yourself on going with a timepiece.
