No, actually all you really need is the BELIEFE by Others that you will use Violence. But realize that at some point Someone WILL call your bluff and THEN you will need to back it up. Sometimes that just involves going "Boo!" to the Rubes, but SOMETIMES it means having to shoot into the crowd. AND you have to be willing to do so when it is needed. That is the Paradox of Power.As I said before, first rule of civilization is 'he who has the weapons, makes the rules'. lol
I know 'violence is the last resort of the incompetent', but sometimes, all you need is the option.
The biggest fear of EVERY society in Human History has been the Fear of Mob Violence.
