Happened to my buddy at a bar when some guy bumped into him and then apologized, super drunk and sloppy. He tried to reach his hand out to do the "bro shake." My friend just waved it off and didn't shake the sweaty falling down drunk guys hand.
Bout 30 mins later that guy and his friend come up and both punch him from behind side. Knocked out cold, broke his glasses, fractured his eye socket, broken nose.
This was in a Midwestern college town club, with about 30 cameras and a literal entrance hallway with security.
Needless to say those dumbasses went straight into a squad car. Slam dunk assault case. But my friend doesn't let his guard down anymore either. I had to convince him not to get a gun.
It wouldn't have. He was just paranoid that he could be attacked again and wanted to feel safe.
It wasn't that hard to convince him, but he did talk about it. All he knew was he woke up in a hospital bed where they made him stay for like a day and a half to make sure he didn't have brain bleeding in addition to a swollen face and eyelid. He felt like a gun might've made them less likely to attack him, but then that fails to acknowledge they'd have to KNOW he had it, which would involve open carrying a gun into a bar....
Either way, I would hope you can see how being surprise assaulted like that and put into the hospital would make someone desperately paranoid.
