Fox 1 Police 0

Thats one lucky flatfoot. Not so much the fox.
 
I need to see the Axon body camera footage to be sure, but until I do me thinks it’s perfectly okay to shoot yourselves while fleeing the scene of a rabid fox ?
 
Not quite my point, but under enough stress anyone can make a mistake.
 
If you think rabid animals are some kind of joke, easily avoided then you must be one of those wacky citi-slickers. If I had an aggressive fox coming for me I'de want a shotgun.

I've kicked bigger and angrier animals dead. When I was a teenager we had a small pack of roaming homeless dogs on our mountain. They had actually bitten a guy and had harrassed people on many occasions, but every summer there would be a mostly different pack. I don't know where the fuck they came from, goddamn hillbilly puppymills for all I know. Anyway, one day I was hauling ass out of a break in a thicket and found myself full charge and face to face with one of these fuckin dogs. Sumbitch probably weighted about 60-70lb. Without missing a beat I caught that motherfucker right under the jaw with a kick that sent him into a back flip. Called animal control and a few days later they came and picked him up, he was dead as fuck I guess.

Not really proud of it, but I'm happy I can say I didn't run. That dog would have fucked my ass up if I tried, safe bet at least.
 
is that any different than the great emu war of 1932 ? except for this was a country declaring war on a flightless bird and well loosing . its a sad / funny story and here is an over simplified version of it.

I believe you. Yet, at least in my personal experience , an animal foaming at the mouth from rabies is capable of inducing far higher levels of fear than an attacking dog. I was driving a medium sized (no cab) Kubota tractor with a scoop along the edge of field one day and I disturbed a rabid red fox that began to chase the tractor biting the tires and foaming at the mouth. I grabbed the hydraulic scoop control and when the fox came around the tire and made for the operator platform I pulled the forward-reverse lever into neutral and hopped onto the hood, ran forward and climbed into the scoop, where I spent the next 45 minutes.

I have also delt with an angry cur or two, but for me anyhow this was on a different level. Years ago we had a very effective rabies control progam, that operated at no cost to the taxpayer. It was called the fur industry. Rich men paid country boys like you and I to trap and hunt furs so that they could have them made into coats for their wife's. This keep the populations just thin enough that rabies could not spread. Peta put an end to that now rabies is rampant in my part of the country.
 
I will admit I've never seen a rabid animal while it was being viscious, I've seen a few dead ones that folks had to kill for that reason though. Also have seen a few foxes gone half blind and ambitious to eat, not exactly aggressive just really fucking spaced out and acting strangely. Gophers that way also, they just stand in the road on their back legs and get in the way. Kinda reminds me of a crazy person talking to someone who's not there. You can drive right by them and honk or yell and it doesn't phase them at all.

Why are you running away from a rabbid Fox?..... just shoot the damn thing......or just punt it down the street.

You don’t run away from it like a pussy

I'm going to agree with this 100%. In a lifetime of woods bumming, I've run into more black bears than I can remember (some with cubs), a mtn lion, a couple of grizzlies, bobcats, moose, coyots, and yet the thing that scared me the most was a raccoon that I assume was rabid... Slobbering, standing his ground, making some kind of hissing noise at me, and a look that scared the shit out of me. I ran like a little girl. I still get the heebie-jeebies thinking about it.

It is pretty safe to say that you were one lucky guy that day. That was a perfect save and it sure saved you from a lot worse. Had the dog latched on after fully closing in, your only option would be trying to floor the thing and suffocate it by stomping, kneeing or a chokehold, all the while getting damage inflicted on you. The Colorado jogger story is coming back to mind full force here. If you managed to pull off what he had done, you still would have been chewed up and torn up badly. Glad your guardian angel was definitely looking out for you that day. 60-70 pounds? I'd want my .357 Vaquero in my hand loaded with a full cylinder. Did you have a gun or knife on you at the time?

Which brings me to this point. There are many reasons why you cannot have a firearm on you in some places, but you should NEVER be without a knife at any time. And carried on strong side.

I had a paintball gun with me, I was 17 and figured I was kind of armed. I was playing woodsball with some other kids whose parents also didn't give a fuck about what they got up to so I wasn't completely alone. I think it still would have fucked me up, but good chance I would have shot its eyes out or something. Had an ICD Bushmaster with a chaos board in it pushing 15 balls per second at about 350 fps with the right hopper, fuck I miss that gun...

We were training some guys long ago in Fla. an were told we could use a paint ball gun if we wanted, the freezer worked overtime the night before. They had no issue showing where they were shot at for about 3-4 days after the training was over. The letter of reprimand was not kind to us at all.

I think it had been documented before that a BB traveling above 200 FPS will break skin. I have been shot with normal paintballs through clothing and they hurt like all hell. Frozen ones? That is a case of NOPE for me.

Paintballs are fairly dense projectiles traveling at above skin-breaking velocities. They are not a joke and can cause significant injuries if used in the wrong way. Seriously, I would rank them as being even better pain-compliance devices than Tasers.

I've taken many a BB during training an none have ever broken skin, welts yes but never blood. I don't know how fast the PB's were going as they were a new thing back then. I do know there was no question about if they were hit of not, unlike BB's when you were in full gear. A BB to a helmet ammo pouch ect you could never tell, the Pb's were different.
 
Paintball is probably the most fun thing I can think of to do under 100 mph. Probably the only thing I was ever naturally good at as well, figures I gave it up. :rolleyes:

There's always one guy that runs out of ammo far away from the staging table and tries to get people to call hit by stuffing baby pine cones and fucking acorns and shit down his barrel when we played woodsball. I may or may not have encouraged the trend by doing so myself. Nearly every childhood game I ever had ended in a goddamned wrestling match anyways.

Shit,when I was a kid my older twin brothers used us younger kids as target practice.
Steel trash can lids and USA made Levies were our freinds back then.
 



From the story
. He attempted to jump over a nearby fence, but his foot got caught and he flipped over. Nunuvero's gun went off as he landed and struck his bulletproof vest

That is either an AD or an ND.. use the correct terms.... stop scaring the public that guns just GO OFF


And who else wants to see the body cam footage

By the way, when one of my coworkers showed me that Ylvis video a few months back, I probably experienced the most profound sense of confusion I ever felt. Surprised it did not take off as the new rick-roll...

I crossed paths with a rabid skunk once. That was no joke at all. And no, that was not a street urchin from the city...
Real, stinky, mad as hell skunk.

I used to play paint ball professionally. That was about 30 years ago. Good times. Of course when I first started, it was a single shot bolt action affair using those little co2 cartridges. When I left the sport, I had a custom silenced semi-auto Sheridan rifle.

This was back when we played in the woods and not this small closed course like now. I'd either hide and let the other team run past me or I would flank them. When they were engaged with the rest of my team, I would pop up from behind and start picking them off one by one. Since the gun was silenced (not really suppressed, silenced...) they had no idea where it was coming from and I usually outranged them when they did finally see me. We (my team) managed to gain a world ranking of 5th at one point just before I quit.
