Curt Doolittle

You, by virtue of you occupation create a dense gathering of people that exposes them to risk but which you profit from. Since you can learn to be sufficiently competent with a handgun in just a few lessons, failing to do it is just an excuse not to take responsibility for the defence of the citizenry. As such it is hard to argue that you reap the extraordinary rewards of this society without paying the only cost of enfranchisement: it’s defense.

Cowardice is merely taking an unearned discount.

That’s all it is.

Free riding.
