I'm more than knowledgeable and proficient in hand to hand combat, bladed weapons, and spears. I'm plenty proficient with
some weapons. I'm just not so proficient with weapons that use chemical reactions to fire projectiles. I'm even okay with a bow and arrow. And this isn't to suggest that I'm going to karate-chop a secret service member if I think the president is amassing power in the executive or suspending habeas corpus. I don't particularly like the idea of a violent uprising.
What about my first two questions?
