Me thinks our friend may be fibbing in an attempt to punch his way out of the corner I pushed him into.

To further your point though: not having an extiguisher and depending on the 300 yard fire brigade for protection is just like not having a firearm for protection. It can be the difference between scaring off a criminal without firing a shot and your family having to call the coroner to mop you up.
