I hate to admit this but at the age of 7 (I think) I got into it w/ my brother age 14 ( app) and nailed him in the jaw w/ a loaded fist...AS TAUGT, and put him on his ASS...not out but stunned...my eldest brothers had to restrain him...or he'd have killed me...because after I had hit him I innocently held out my hand and said to the elder brothers " WOW! it realy works!"
Reminds me of an old Cary Grant movie. Cary plays a gambler who is falling for a rich society babe. He always has this roll of dimes with him, until one day he goes into a place to "have a talk" with some guys. You hear a "smack" and then the sound of dimes rolling on the floor and when Cary comes out he doesn't have the roll anymore, but you get the idea what happened to it. Same theory though, nobody could accuse him of carrying a weapon.
