You need a gun to defend yourself from that creep?! Sheesh, I could fend him off with a penknife and a rubber band.

No, but it saves time and effort. He has never shown up at a demonstration he's scheduled when it was announced that there would be counterdemonstrators from the Pink Pistols.

Actualy it's not Phelps personally that's a genuine threat, but the people who listen to him and either take him seriously or use him as an excuse for their own behavior...including his extended family.

By the way, I strenuously resist the "do you need a weapon to defend yourself" question...it's used by gun-grabbers to get you on to a slippery slope; "well, you haven't proven you really need a weapon so we're going to balance your needs against society's need to make sure only criminals are armed, etc....". It's a right, and I refuse to be required to prove I "have a need" to exercise my rights.
