bad guy tough guys, Special Ops tough guys, biker tough guys, rural outdoorsy tough guys, and knowing weapons, carrying weapons, being comfortable with weapons, and knowing the importance of having a weapon to deploy is a big part of the tough man's world and world view.

Tough guys by definition are risk takers, they live in more dangerous environments and more dangerous social circles, they generally fall into either the bad guy wolf category or the good guy sheepdog category, and they tend to action.
