And you made the assumption that I would use it.
That's not a surprising reaction to someone with an unnatural fear of guns...

Again, this doesn't suggest that I would use my gun. In fact, it suggests otherwise, as people in midieval times didn't have guns...

Psychotic = spitting. That could be anything from a dumbarse kids dare to someone who had an issue with the person in question.

Either way, if they spit on my kid, it will end badly for them...
Sorry, but if someone spits on your kid and all you do is yell at them, you deserve any escalation the offender might decide to bear upon you, even if unprovoked...

My kids would much rather be removed from an unpleasant situation than see me get involved in a violent punch up over something so trivial.

Perhaps.
But it's far more likely that they'd prefer to grow up knowing that their father was willing to defend them as opposed to running away every time a difficult situation presents itself...

And I would not be engendering them with an attitude that everything requires a violent response or that the size of their dick may be questioned of they don’t carry on like a Neanderthal when ever provoked.

No, you'd be engendering them with the attitude that they should grow up as cowards...

If someone spits on my kids they (my kids) will know that whatever I do is intended to minimise the effect upon them. What you would do is show your kids that Daddy’s only way to deal with a situation is to resort to violence.

Your children will view you as a coward, and someone who, perhaps, they should not rely on when the goin' gets tough...

You know nothing of what they think.

I have a strong suspicion...

The only way your kids will respect you will be if they respect violence.

Hardly.
My daughter has grown up knowing that you have to stick up for yourself and your family.
Your children, clearly, will not be burdened with wondering whether or not you'd defend them...
