It was the HUGE trash talk cun-frun-TA-shun LOL

i see why you are more brave and more stubborn....:hmph:

my cousin is worried about and wants me to carry something but the problem is that i am kinda clumsy and nervous with weapons and i dont really want it.....and the recoil of a .22 kicks my butt.

yeah, don't carry a .22 as your only protection
but if you do, make sure you file the sight off the barrel so it doesn't hurt when they shove it up your bum :D
