That would be quite a feat and probable a tussle to draw the assailant's gun.

Very close to it but, thankfully fear and common sense arose and he calmed down!

My wife doesn't look all that friendly, but is attractive, so she gets approached regularly. She works in Houston and sometimes has to stop in not so great areas for gas. She's never drawn down on someone, but has had her hand on her pistol in her purse twice when people started to give her a bad vibe.

My daughter will be moving to the Houston area soon... Your story doesnt make this dad feel to well

In regards to the original post, while employed as a police officer, I drew my weapon several times and was involved in one gunfight but I suspect you are looking for civilian answers. Yes all were deemed justified. I'm now retired.

It's like any big city, good parts and bad. I wouldn't worry.

Yes, in the early days whenever I came home with another gun. Thankfully, now I can a afford to occasionally bring home a gun AND eat that week. It seems she’s not nearly as ornery when she there is food too.


Seriously though, I do have a buddy who had to draw on a guy who pulled a knife. Thankfully the guy ran off without further incident. My buddy said he shook for a couple hours after that one.

Once, in Court an defendant was being taken into custody. While the bailiff was walking them to the jury box, the defendant started to flight with the bailiff while he was trying to place him in handcuffs. Weapon out, panic button pressed. Thankfully, no shots fired.

You just have to be fast enough.

I had a friend who foresees everything, it sometimes looks like something abnormal. By the way, he worked as a medical examiner. In his country house, he installed GPS beacons on all valuable items. After his outboard motor was stolen, he and a friend drove up to the thief's house and called the police to the scene. And when the owner of the house rushed at them with an axe, he shot off his foot with a shotgun, but he did it on video, and therefore had no problems afterwards.

I was in the air force during the Indo-Pakistan war in 1971. And later, I was the Divisional Forest Officer of the Sundarbans until 1992. So we had to engage in more than a few fire fights with poachers, pirates and drug smugglers ( who used to smuggle heroin into the country through the Indian side of the Sundarbans ) during my posting in Khulna. Let’s just leave it at that.

Anybody who ACTUALLY had to take the lives of fellow human beings is definitely not going to want to share the details on social media for the whole world to see. No matter how justifiable the circumstances are. As a matter of fact, most of us don’t want to talk about it all. 90 % of the time, the people who gloat about things like their kill counts or kill techniques in public or on the internet … Never actually did any of those things. Killing members of your own species is an extremely ugly thing and ( while there are some justifiable scenarios which call for it and even deem it absolutely compulsory ) it is never something to brag about.

I have a rule. Never let the car get below half a tank as that is enough gas to go anywhere in Southern CA and come back home. It took some time to train her, but my girlfriend does the same thing now.

 

[Deleted member 40394]

Nope. But I don’t get in a vehicle without at the very least my shotgun being in it and on the ready. I can put 15 buckshot in a 35” circle at 40 yards. About Once a week I have to run back inside the house when my wife wants me to ride with her to the grocery store or something. She already knows what I am going to get before the ride. Benelli sbe…..never leave home without.

Love this film! But as to the question, I'm hearing crickets...

I am not sure I would share any personal experiences if I had one on a public forum.

Nothing good happens after 10pm.

Never had to but always have one within reach.
