[Ludicrous]

"All I wanted to do was eat my breakfast in relative peace."

Certainly the bakery would wrap your breakfast for take-out!

Using your rights to step on the rights of others - seems like you were the rude one.

I'm kind of torn on this one. You seem to imply the loud group had the right to be loud. I disagree.

I do think that people are more polite if they know that the people they, without sidearms present, are offending, are being offended.

I think that the sight of a sidearm on someone's hip reminds them not to be asses.
