hey bro sorry to hear that... i'm fixing to start saving up to buy me a gun for this exact reason. i can't begin to count how many times one of the (natives) around my town have walked up to my truck while i was in a drive-thru or at a gas station wanting some change or something else, **** like this makes me so mad. bad things happen at weird times and thats why everybody should be ready for it

 

I just got rid of my XD45 Service model and purchased a XD .40 SC, Thing is twice as loud as the .45 and is hell trying to get accurate at 25 yrds after a year of my .45. Great gun, a bit to wide for a good carry weapon, kimber pro carry or a SA 1911 sub compact would be better for concealment,

Glad to hear your all right, ROE works when you think about it.

* Level 1: Compliant (Cooperative). The subject responds and complies to verbal commands. Close combat techniques do not apply.

* Level 2: Resistant (Passive). The subject resists verbal commands but complies immediately to any contact controls. Close combat techniques do not apply.

* Level 3: Resistant (Active). The subject initially demonstrates physical resistance. Use compliance techniques to control the situation. Level three incorporates close combat techniques to physically force a subject to comply. Techniques include: Come-along holds, Soft-handed stunning blows, Pain compliance through the use of joint manipulation and the use of pressure points.

* Level 4: Assaultive (Bodily Harm). The subject may physically attack, but does not use a weapon. Use defensive tactics to neutralize the threat. Defensive tactics include: Blocks, Strikes, Kicks, Enhanced pain compliance procedures, Impact weapon blocks and blows.

* Level 5: Assaultive (Lethal Force). The subject usually has a weapon and will either kill or injure someone if he is not stopped immediately and brought under control. The subject must be controlled by the use of deadly force with or without a firearm or weapon.

 

WELL,,, the thing is... i didnt know if anyone else was in the car. and i dont know how far the Hydrashocks will go through crap like that...being my luck there would have been a small child on the back seat when i let a round go through the trunk.

But it is what it is...

 

you did the right thing.

 

i'd have done the same nonie.... especially around here man! i cant say i wouldn't have hesitated cause i've never been in that position but that was brave dude! props for takin up for yourself and your buddy!!

 

Glad you are still with us Nonnie. You did show restraint. I have been looking into Concealed Carry classes as im about to turn 21. I read a writeup on SSU on how to get started and how to view things. I have hunted all of my life but never really been in any kind of situation that merited a weapon be drawn on a human. I know you know your equipment but read the part about Concealed Carry Mentality and the Cooper Color codes. I found this to be very informative. You probably have already been through the class and know it already. Just adding to the mix so maybe someone might be helped this.

Stupid thing that we done is just stand there when we saw the shadow... we are in a huge shop with thousands of tools, but you never expect it to be like this... im sure it would have turned out NASTY if i was carrying,, because i prob would have just let him have it when he grabbed my buddy..

 

Shoulda taken out a knee cap... "self defense"

 

I aint goin to just hurt them,, they would try to sue you for everything your worth these days, or try to hunt you down.... so id just send them to meet their maker

They would deserve it.

 

**** bro... sorry to hear about it. if i was in your shoes i probably would have shot somebody because i really dont take to well to being scared. i have capped a few tires so they couldnt go anywhere till the cops got there but it is hard to think about those things when your under that kinda pressure
