Or am I seeing this wrong?
I'm not opposed to spoons at all (Actually, Stijn's spoon thread made my itch even worse...)

You've seen too many American movies. Most thugs don't carry guns. They are so rarely challenged, that they don't have to. Maybe the real gang bangers in American inner cities carry more often, but the kind of hooligans who cause riots and protest the World Bank meetings would run with soiled shorts if ever faced down by an armed citizen. They know cops will only use tear gas and rubber bullets and they are prepared for that.
