    How can they? The whole point is that he's not a Windows user, and was claiming a refund as he had no intention of using it.

    I would. Spending a thousand or two on a gun, some classes, concealed carry permit, ammo, and range fees is well worth it, if it prevents one guy from getting away with another mugging, and, if you are lucky and the situation allows it, takes that leech out of society permanantly.

    What's the expression? Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute.
