I deliberated whether or not I was going to post this but curiosity got the best of me.
A few weeks ago I was walking home when a black suv driving on the opposite side of the street, fired eight shots while calling me derogatory names. I reacted by ducking into an ally and as I turned to see what happened the suspects had sped off. They were using a smaller caliber but enough to prick my ears and get me running. A week before this there was a shoot out in front of my apartment building! I live in a neighborhood that is mainly students from the local college here, not exactly a ghetto but definitly sketchy terroritory. The funny thing is I was getting back from muay thai/mixed martial arts class feeling pretty good about defending myself when it happened.
So I've been considering getting a carry, but what I'd like to know is what you all would've done in that situation if you had been carrying. Does anyone have any stories or lessons learned? Help me out here, I need some sound advice. I'm attending some firearm courses this fall but it looks like I'll have to make due with my mits and knife until then.
