I have to inform the criminals that I am armed? Shouldn't the fact that people could be armed deter criminals, wasn't that the original idea? Do people have to carry their guns in the open for your plan to work?
I don't have a death-wish so I'd probably inform any robber that hurting me would mean certain death, but I might withhold details. Then everything is fine, right? I don't want to rely on my speed with a gun to be able to defend myself.

Yes, I know what EMP is, that's why I'm streaming it all to the cloud. Away from my current location.

And my vest is designed to keep me safe from robbers. It's not designed to explode, that would kill me. It would only do so if someone already killed me, and act as a deterrent for other criminals knowing what might happen. So who's fault is it in the car example? Who should pay restitution? I would argue that it isn't me being hit. In either case I have taken no action to hurt anyone, other peoples actions has caused others to be hurt. Am I responsible for other peoples actions?
Oh, and I thought you didn't believe in "designed purpose" as in the example with the guy using a gun for target practice in a kids park?

Remember this?

There's a distinct difference between "assuming you're armed", and "assuming your death will wipe out a significant section of the city"

Yeah, that still applies. If you want to defend yourself, wear a bullet-proof vest, not a nuclear bomb one. The bullet-proof vest is designed to protect you. The nuclear bomb vest is designed to explode when you die. You build a device that is designed to ensure that you take anyone nearby with you, that's on you when it does exactly what it was built to do. Have you ever considered you might come to accidental harm?

The funny thing is that you said this in the other thread:

I find the weird things that myrkuls ideology makes him say hilarious.

Yet you're the one spouting idiotic notions like a concealed nuclear bomb is supposed to be a deterrent. Everything I say is logical. Everything you say is from out in left field.

You're the one saying that guns work as a deterrent. Well, do they or don't they? I could say the same. If you want to defend yourself, get a bullet proof vest, not a gun.

If the bomb should go off by accident I suppose that I do have to pay restitution to those affected, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.
