Tell your self defence story, CCW or otherwise

[coldboremiracle]

So I've often wondered how many of you have had to defend yourself, or in some cases how often you have to defend yourself. I was thinking similar stories like you read in the back of the NRA magazines. Its interesting to hear these stories, background, and aftermath.

Re: Tell your self defence story, CCW or otherwise

I was at a party and we were getting wild (2 to 1 women & guys ratio). There is a swimming pool and everyone is getting wasted. They (about 16 of them) start playing strip spin the bottle. I'm inside smoking a "J". Most of the women were so/so. A couple were hot. I come outside and everyone is sitting around a couple of tables in their underwear. I'm like WTF? The guys are all getting pretty amped. I start playing and next thing I know I'm in my underwear too.

Just as things are heating up. My buddy the smallest, skinniest, goofiest lookin' dude loses his drawers. Everyone is laughing their asses off. He quietly stands up and says: Check out this bad boy". The pulled his drawers down and it looked like the had a mammoth naked squirrel attached to him. All of the girls are like "Damn, he is hung like horse".

The rest of us spent the rest of the night making excuses to the women we hooked up with. Some of the girls even tried to comfort us.

Moral of the story: It's usually the small skinny little f&ckers that are packing the biggest heat. GUNS TOO.

Don't know what this has to do with self defense but Shanks observation is true.

When I was in college a bunch of us drove from Missoula up to Trout Creek to a cabin owned by one of our friend's father. We all decided to go skinny dipping in the river, the last guy that came out of the cabin was a small skinny dude. He looked like he had a babies arm holding an apple attached to the front of him. The girls froze in their tracks and just stared, the guys gasped in amazement. After we were good and drunk we made him a crown out of an empty 12 pack box, and dubbed him King Dong. Never did see him again, I hope he made a killing in the porno industry.

I played against the London Irish in rugby. I say 'play' when if fact it was 80 minutes of applied self-defense. We won the game but lost the drinking and thus also the friendly punch-up afterwards.

Good times.

Re: Tell your self defence story, CCW or otherwise

I've had two very minor ones

One, I came out of the gym one night and two guys were playing with the door handle of my car, I walked up and said thats a nice car, did you lock your keys in it. One spoke no english and the other barely did. The guy said yes. I said why don't you back up and I'll try. They both took a few steps back and I put one hand on my pistol and took my keys out with the other and hit the unlock button. They ran away.

Two, I came out of a gas station and about 6 teenage boys were standing outside, I ha d acarton of cigarettes in my hand. The largest kid, about 6'2 or 6'3 "axed" me if I could get a smoke. I said no and he said "then we'll just take all of them, how about that?" I put my hand on my gun and said, you can try. After a pause he backed up and said aww man I was just kiddin. I said ok have a nice day.
He wasn't kidding.

the incident that led me to start carrying was, I served an eviction notice and the 5 male tenants all in their 20s threatened me with a bat and various other weapons. I signed up for the class that afternoon.

EX wife #2, threatened to call her daddy to come over and shoot me.

Being 1 am, in Texas, Itold to tell him to get his fat Italian ass over and do it right now, I was tired and wished to go to bed.

Unbeknownst to me, she HAD called him, and the phone was off the hook. He showed up a few minutes later, and was ready to do the deed.

Funny thing tho... he got too close, talked too much. Funnier thang was, ever noticed how a man's attitude changed, when now YOU got the gun, and he got a bunch of stars in his head????

Biggest.....most expensive mistake I ever made..... in TX, In My House, was not shooting him and his no good daughter. Packed my shit, and left, never looked back. That divorce took three years and cost some money let me tell y'all bout that!

Nevah agin, gon' answer de do, at one o'clock in de monin, wit out de foty five in de hand.

Couple years ago a couple of african-american "Gentlemen" rang my doorbell at 11PM with a KIT KAT candy bar and said they were selling for charity.

They were dressed in droopy drawers, one had a black shirt, the other camo.

I had my 9mm in my back pocket wiht my hand on it, they made a motion to move forward and were eyeballing eachother.

I turned to the side, drew the gun down to my thigh and held it there and said "No thanks".

3 weeks later they tied up and robbed a family - I had called 9/11 but they had disappeared.

They were eventually caught.

Nobody, but nobody sells kit kats for charity, it's usually a proprietary candy, and nobody sells dressed like they were, and nobody sells at 11pm.

The Gift of Fear book was right on the money about instincts, those are why I drew my gun.

I've carried since '85. Usually, it's best not to comment on incidents, even twenty-five years later. You never know what might happen if a lawyer manages to take your words and twist them enough to convince a jury that you're a loose cannon on a pitching deck.
