Right, who wants to possibly kill someone? I got a license to carry my $559 space-age polymer-framed pistol loaded with proven, high-powered, expanding ammunition because it's 'cool'. I carry it anytime I leave the house and have become extremely proficient with it simply because I never know when I want to stop off at the shooting range or show it to a friend. What kind of person carries to protect themselves or their families from the likes of psychotics and other assorted lunatics/addicts? I mean, even martial arts are for exhibition, aren't they? Heavens, I'd never want to hurt anyone who tried to harm me.

As has been said before...SITUATIONAL AWARENESS.

I was in Greeley, CO for the apst few days, and do not know the town. I was coming out of a coffee shop and saw a guy cross the street behind me, and continue walking behind me. Spidey sense was tingling so a turned in to one of the restaraunts for "directions."

I used to be the macho "I'll kick your ass" type, but reality, and a wife I want a life with takes precedence. Walk away with your life even if it means your pride is damaged and your ego bruised.

CCs in AZ have won a big fight recently too; The burden to prove your life was in danger for self defense is no longer on the defendee, but on the agressor...who shouldnt be talking if you shot him.

Now....who wants to sword fight...

Final note: I dont care how much training you have, as I have SEVERAL years in martial arts training, you WILL react differently in the situation. No matter how bad-ass you think you are, and that's a fact.

Also, you have many more options if the guy is in arms reach vs him standing 5-6 ft back.

Initially, he was in his chest, but Brian was naturally backing up, at that point there was 5-10 ft between him and the "wanna-be" thug, no time to grab a "jammed" gun from that far away, there just isn't.

So you "bad-ass"es carry on! But just dont keep thinking you're superman.. b/c a silver bullet could easily become your kryptonite.

Wow, several pages later and even more comes out. Can we just skip to the part where you're a Navy SEAL, too? Couldn't do anything in that situation because you signed a pact with the government not to use your ninja skills outside of official duties?

Not at all.

Should I ever become such a computer nerd that I need to divulge my whole life story including every single detail on every single post just to feel important to a bunch of people that I never care to meet? Not my style, buddy.

Does my past really have any relation to this specific situation? I'd say no.

So you all should do yourself's a favor, and quit trying to worry about other's lives so much, and worry about your own. I'm sure you guys have enough problems w/that as it is... as we all do.

You're a winner, Ecksgay! :explosion
 
First, I'm glad to hear that you are your friend are alright. If you never had a reason to believe in God before, you do now....seriously.

This may be completely tangential, but I always find it interesting that some people feel a need to cite race when discussing these types of unfortunate incidences. Granted, if the police are putting out an APB, race might be a relevant factor. But for the purposes of this forum, I don't really see it. (It's unconscious, I know.....but no less interesting.)

Have a really great Thanksgiving!!!!

?? i dont think he means he carries it to look cool....

its kind of like car insurance, you dont go crashing your car because you have it, you drive safely and even avoid reporting minor incidents until it is absolutely necessary.

like he said, WHY would you WANT to KILL somebody?

Don't want to meet us? I know you disagree with some of what has been said, but come on, if you never want to meet other Jeepers....Get the hell off the forums. This is a club first and a forum second. Clubs are meant to bring people together over a common interest.

I happen to agree with some of what you've said, but talking trash to paying members is not going to win over friends.

Went up to Advanced auto in lehigh at bell blvd last night at 830 with reliablesteves brother, brian.

heading out to the jeep, im gettin in pass side, brian into the drivers, he had his door open when a decked out light black male buries a gun into his back demanding his wallet. Brian turns around, realizes whats going on, and tells him he doesnt have it. He then is pushed back into the jeep and the small hangun .22/9mm buried into his chest.

The guy went to XXXX it, already mashing the trigger, and it JAMMED!!! We were then able to flee into the auto store to call the police...

I give the Lehigh guys credit tho, first cop there w/in 3 minutes of call, chopper and k-9's to follow...

Same description guy and gun 15 minutes later rob a wallet in the walmart parking lot...

Didnt find 'em yet!
FRIGGIN SCARY!!!

Hey, why don't you post your phone number and name so that the suspect can find you and prevent you from singling him out in a line-up? Or, delete all references to yourself when there's a gunman on the loose?

Better yet, divulge the identity of all the victims of this incident?
