My friend, I am increasingly adopting this perspective, especially on a personal level. On a broader societal level, I find it a bit more difficult, because perhaps, from a sociological standpoint, today's society is not as prepared as the one you describe with university gun clubs, where everyone could be armed.
Essentially, a dispute that might be settled with fists could instead end in gunfire. These are some initial doubts that always come to mind, without dismissing the idea entirely, because I do recognize the opportunism of criminals targeting defenseless people, without any dissuasion power.
Thanks, as always, for your feedback.

Elementary. Primary school clubs.
When you consider the level deeper than societal, the species level, then solving disputes with fists that could instead be opportunities to advance evolution become wasted opportunities to improve the lot of our posterity. Peace is only availed them dangerous to assault, which is why I ensured my sons were the most dangerous of their peers. I did not neglect their socialization, and they did not cause hazard, did not afflict their social circle with harms, but were the leaders and participated in the social programs that their peers enjoyed instead. It is important we are a bastion to the good people that depend on civil society for their felicity, and a threat to them that would tear it down.

Indeed, I'm trying this approach with my 5-year-old son. I know it's the right one based on my own school experiences. Thanks for adding more insightful thoughts to the conversation, my friend.
