I'm Sicilian by the way.

I made it obvious that I was armed by raising my 9mm, chambering a round and pointing it directly at him. I told him that if he put one fingerprint on my car that they would be scraping his brains off the pavement. He turned his booze reeking face around and high tailed it back to his car and took off, much to my relief. Guns do work to protect citizens who are threatened by criminals.
