A bar brawl is a bit different from a situation with a woman being dragged down an alley. Presumably in a bar brawl the situation is one where those involved want to be in the fight. Why should I get involved in somebody else's rumble?

I believe my masks can withstand several hours of CS gas, less than 20-30 minute of nerve gas, and an hour or so with blood and blister agents. My mask fits, and I once used it in a CS rich environment, it worked fine. As for using my rifle with a mask, I have an Eotech and plan to use...

Go ahead and call me a jackass, a jerk, or any sort of 'name' you want, but don't call me by a name (identity) that is not my own. In person if you were to call me a jerk, I'd take it a lot better than if you called me by the name of an infamous local felon because you didn't believe that I...

America had a secret campaign in Namibia? This is news to me... Doesn't it make sense that my South African friends, who were adults in the 1980s in South Africa, would have military experience as it was pretty much a requirement. Not to mention some of them saw active deployment in Namibia...

They're not a casual tailgater when they're flashing their lights, making gestures, leaning out of the window to scream, waving their hands/arms, etc. They're a potentially violent person who needs to be told/informed to BACK DOWN, WAY DOWN, before things get any further out of control. I'm not...

357- I don't mean mistaken identity, I mean when somebody deliberately labels me as a known troll. I assume that the man he claims I am, is a troll of some sort?

M1911- I deployed a canister in my garage once (I know, very stupid of me, long-story short, I wanted to get rid of some wildlife and firearms in the garage are out of the question, I won't bore folks with the story)... It didn't limit visibility too much. I do have enough gas-masks for...

I agree on point 1 and point 2. With point 3 I would make it conditional and say "never use a gun to illegally intimidate somebody" since you can legally intimidate a knife-yielding maniac by drawing on him and letting know to drop it or else you'll drop him. That is intimidation. With point...

It wasn't a hijack, I was relating a story about my limited experiences with idiots on the highway/road. Isn't that how it works? A sort of campfire circle setting where we all speak of the similar experiences we have had? As far as that goes. Some people will have no experiences, some will...

Okay, but I didn't actually type the word... I apologize if I offended any sensibilities. However, the one thing I really cannot stand is being labeled as somebody I am not. If the mods get around to it, they will run ISP and IP scans. When they verify I am not anybody else, I am just who I am...

If I was him I would be worried about that guy possibly coming back later when it is night-time, or when he figures nobody will be home, for whatever nefarious purpose he has in mind (burglary, arson, etc). NEVER let somebody in that situation follow you home or otherwise learn your address...

MP7- Why bother making grenades from pepper-spray? That might be illegal. What is not illegal (depending on your state/locality) are CS gas canisters that are not explosive in their method of deployment/operation.

If people want a run-down of my main defensive use of firearms or the bluff/threat of their use... I've probably used the threat of a firearm to cause an attacker/group of attackers to abort attacks that were in the progress/unfolding at least 3-4 times. The two most prominent instances...

When I was young I didn't have the luxury of carrying a big stick. I had to walk proudly, speak loudly, and carry no stick. I never had the luxury of being able to fall back on a gun as a last-resort defense as a youth. My first defense (and strongest defense) was to put up the most defiant...

No, I'm telling you that I grew up being threatened by gangs on a daily/weekly basis in high school. I grew up being harassed by school authorities for reading magazines such as Soldier of Fortune, America's First Freedom, and such. I grew up being suspended over nothing, threatened over...

Or- don't trust your soul to no backwoods southern truck-driver. :D Legally I was wrong in what I wanted to do. Morally I was probably right. Probably why 14 year olds do not get to write the laws. But still, if that guy has since killed somebody, if I knew about it, I'd feel partially...

Yes, my mother always said she thought I'd wind up dead or in prison. A small gang of students in my high school used to think they could get away with anything and hide behind the race card if the authorities tried to discipline them. One of them (a big black kid) kept threatening me and...

Most of my tales are either of youthful recklessness, or they convey a sense of how bluffing (in some circumstances) can and does work. There's nothing particularly heroic about it. I'm not a freaking combat veteran... I have had run-ins with groups of people who tried to mug me or attack with...

taurusowner As I said, I was a 14/15 year old who was pissed that somebody tried to kill my mother and I. My mother thought better of it and told me to restrain myself, which I did. I never even touched the rifle...

treo- Huh? What the f--- are you talking about?
