even the toughest gang memebers probably beg for their life with a gun to their head. its not like the A-team is gonna bust in to save you or daisy duke is gonna kick the gun out his hand. you gotta do what you gotta do to save your life and thats ALL you can think, most of the time that means giving up the wallet and laying on the ground or just getting outta there ASAP…unless you are like a cop, they are trained professionals, they dedicated their life to it… you gotta condition against whats natural in those situations. ---

…unless you’ve had a gun pointed at you so many times you’re desensitized to it. Then you’re a cool customer and deal with it. Take a chance to disarm if possible, otherwise run or maybe draw and fight it out. But the best place to be during a fist/knife/gun/bazooka/etc. fight is _not be there_. Even in white-bread suburbia to hardcore ghetto, always examine your surroundings and be ready to run/fight/knife/shoot if you have to. Always be aware of your surroundings…always. ---

This also makes me realize why sometimes I am scared to go places alone. I think sometimes I take things for granted and not think about them. I always thought it was silly when I got in the car, immediately looking in the backseat, or watching my surroundings as I’m walking to my car in a dark parking lot. I was driving thru Clairton one night around like midnight, with my top down. I stopped at the longest redlight ever, and I thought to myself, “what the hell was I thinking when I came this way with my top down.” Its a shame you need to watch every step these days. I feel bad for todays kids. What’s the world going to be like when they are older? ---

you really don’t think about anything when someone has a gun pointed at you. I thought I would be able to remember what he looked like or anything, but all I remember is the barrel of the gun. I couldn’t tell the officer much about what he was wearing or anything. And a concealed weapon would have done nothing in my situation. He had a gun already pointed at me and was only about 3-4 feet away when I realized what was happening. I heard from about 10 people who have said, “if that was me I would have…” and it’s complete bs. Noone knows how they will react until it actually happens to you. And I was walking back to the office from a job I had in town. I walked the path almost everyday for a little over a year. I know I will be driving into town from now on though. 🙂 And getting into a fight or a gunfight(if I was armed) would not be worth the amount of cash he got. My thinking was, just do whatever needs done so I can get home to my wife and kids. Money and material things(my laptop,phone, $1400 worth of customer’s software) meant absolutely nothing at the moment. ---

some asshole pointed a gun at me in traffic once… my and the girl were coming up west liberty and some guy was sitting in a parking lot like he wanted to come out, my girl stopped to let him out and he was dickin around looking at his lap with no turn signal on so she pulled forward since he wasnt paying attention… so the guy starts screaming, getting out of his truck and flipping out at the pass side window… so i got out and got in his face and told him to shut the fuck up and get back in his truck, so he runs back, sits down and pulls out a revolver… i just stood there shocked at first for a moment or two then just told him to go for it and shoot me… he flicked me off and started to drive away and i spit in his face and got the license plate and called the cops, 15 mins later a cop called me and said they have him in the station and that the gun was his father’s , not registered or licensed to him… i told the cop to do as they feel fit cuz i dont feel like coming back to the station to file a report… I wish i would have seen the cops surround the truck and drag this fucker out and on the ground… :owned: ---

But I must say, with some correct training, in real live situations, a concealed carry weapon, can be your best friend. Is it for everyone, no. But then never is driving fast. It really comes back to how much you practice. How you practice. And what you practice. ---
