Very good point, i honestly don't think that there has been a marshall that i 
have heard of that has implemented that rule. When you think about it though, 
unless you are dead already (harrowed) you are in fear of your life, game or 
not, no one wants to stare down the barrell of a gun ( AB or not.) Knowing 
that you are about to die might scare most people, so i would think that all 
the marshalls who are reading tis should next time implement that rule, as i 
know i will ask my marshall to.

p.s  If anyone disagrees with this then walk down the seediest part of where 
you live, at night, on your own and start to pick a fight with someone who 
has a gun.
