I don't understand why people keep messaging me about this. I know why the story has him not keep it. I'm so much further along in the story than most of you.
All I'm saying is, HAVING the things is better than NOT having them by any stretch of logic. Could give them to a friend or use them as an emergency defense for someone close to him, there's all sorts of things that could have been done.
That's all I'm saying, and yet people keep messaging me about this telling me things I already know and have little to do with what I was actually talking about. Story-reasons, plot-reasoning, all of that, I get it. I'm talking about pure logic, what the Everyman would do, not a character constrained by the plot.
