What used to be slightly amusing cookout fisticuffs, have now turned into all-out tragedies.

A Navy vet friend of mine, who recently passed away, told me a few years back: "I never walk into a public place or gathering of any kind, without first determining what the best way out would be if someone pulls a gun."

He wasn't kidding.
