>>It is more of an adage than anything. The meaning is that most people tend to be much more polite or respectful when they feal they are at a distinct disadvantage like they would be if staring at the business end of a pistol or rifle. Knowing the rebel that you are, this adage probably does not apply. < g,d&r >

>I guess a person would be more 'polite'. But what if he too had a pistol. My gues is that trouble would follow rather shortly in many more cases.
Then one or both must become polite, or one or both becomes seriously or fatally injured.
