The details -
Wedding party after party at the hotel. Most of the participants have been drinking (oh the shame...drinking at a wedding!)
About four thirty something females and four thirty something males. 19 year old daughter of the eldest member also in attendance. No drinking for the under-ager.
Another three (3) wedding parties in atendance at the hotel, one of which is getting really boisterous in the parking lot.
Boisterous group of seven wedding partiers from the parking lot (with cumulativre IQ of 400) searches hotel and finds our room, I suspect due to some noise of our own.
One of our attendees erroneously opens our hotel door and lets in these knuckle draggers. No need for the intelligent posters here to point out this mistake. I know. That being said, mistakes happen and situations develop.
After some pleasantries, the knuckle draggers are asked to leave the private party. It seems they were there to make war, not love. 35+ year old female knuckle dragger begins to rail on our 19 year female attendee attempting to coax a fight. They are asked to leave again, repeatedly. Security at the hotel is a 63 year old 120 pound front desk lady. That's it.
With some minor pushing, we were able to remove the boisterous neanderthals from the room without serious incident. They left dissappointed that things had not come to physicality. They wanted a fight.
The situation was diffused.
What if things hadn't been diffused. What if out 19 year old was attacked by the woman? A mele could easily have ensued.
I was not armed that night, having left my carry piece at home knowing that I would be drinking.
Do wedding party attendees that have been drinking and are comfortably enjoying each others peaceful company have the right to defend themselves from serious bodily injury with firearms from a group of marauders that have infiltrated the confines bent on causing serious bodily injury?
Thoughts?
