I would have drawn on him for handling a loaded weapon with people around. If it had been be he was trying to teach, he'd be lucky if he survived. I would consider it a fight to the death if someone was trying to take my weapon. His surrender would be him prone on the ground face down and I would accept nothing less. If it meant exposing his blood to the floor, so be it. Yeah what if he did want to kill me, how would I know?<br /><br />And saying it was just a joke? Nope you can explain that to the cops, at which point I would point out <a href="http://www.the-minuteman.org/content/2012/May/16/Stupid-Barely-Describes-these-Actions-Barron-Barnett" rel="nofollow">the following to the officers</a>. I don't care, you don't touch other peoples things. As it is even as a by stander I would get involved. He just armed himself with someone else's weapon without permission in a crowded area. Yeah, he needs a good damn lesson of his own.<br /><br />I will say something about that story screams urban legend though.TheMinutemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04339472397050192421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-12670470071504681572012-06-03T22:02:18.891-04:002012-06-03T22:02:18.891-04:00Do not like open carry reason #256.Do not like open carry reason #256.Skiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05684179171065794525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-38066307212474245022012-06-03T20:11:58.449-04:002012-06-03T20:11:58.449-04:00Sitting at a public range with all sorts of things...Sitting at a public range with all sorts of things to rent I do run into some of this. Not to mention people wandering in with all sorts of hardware in an indeterminate state. <br /><br />Our principal was a bit heavy handed IMHO. <br /><br />Stupid stuff I have observed. Several with a rental .22 were ejected as they tried to do "Photo Op" in the lobby pointing the gun at the cameraman. <br /><br />I tell people that if they shoot me by accident I will shoot them on purpose. Heavy handed and all of that, but when I tell people that the staff is mostly retired Military, LEO, and well, me, we get to the point where most go along with the plan. <br /><br />There is of course the stupid that burns every once in a while.Keadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09982258812373127063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-42476449341434553262012-06-03T19:50:23.361-04:002012-06-03T19:50:23.361-04:00I could claim this is related to the movie in a so...I could claim this is related to the movie in a sort of roundabout way (books sometimes end up as movies?) but I guess I have to admit this is totally Off Topic: I just read a chick lit (ebook) which had a couple of chapters in the beginning which might have been named 'how I fell totally in love with guns'. Three wealthy suburban California housewives go to a four day self defense course instead of spa. Well, after the course they run into North Korean terrorists and save the day, at which point it got a bit tedious, (four day course and they are suddenly all like Sarah Connor in Terminator 2, but, well, wish fulfillment...?) but those chapters about their first encounters with guns were fun.<br /><br />So, would anybody happen to know any other chick lit with that type of stuff...okay, I guess not that many here read chick lit, but just in case? (That novel was called 'Suburban Task Force', by the way). I like comedy + thriller chick lit, but it seems more often the heroines of those either wouldn't think of touching a gun (or they start thinking about it only after the murderer is already chasing them in the abandoned office building/some similar location), or if they do they have skipped the training part.Marjanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-66919264370899557612012-06-03T19:00:51.701-04:002012-06-03T19:00:51.701-04:00Iron Man 3?

If somebody stuffs your draw, grabs for your pistol and you stuff his draw, whatever entails a bit of arm wrasslin' you "defang the snake" with the knife.<br /><br />I like my Kabar Last Ditch TKI (TKD?
