ow, a libtard being sarcastic in the face of clearly contrary data to what he believes is true.
Jim, maybe you would like to share about the number of times you have had to use your gun for defensive gun uses purposes.
Most of the gun nutters have never had to do that. But I am sure you have.
So, how many times? Just curious on that.
Ive owned guns for forty years. I used mine ONCE in a Defensive Gun Use situation. And the situation was that someone had wrecked their car and showed up at my door looking for help and a phone at 2am. they never saw the gun I had because they were way to worried about the 150 pound dog I let out on them.
So maybe you could share some the harrowing stories of DGU that you have experienced. You must have a million of them. Or at least a couple thousand? How about a few dozen? Hell make some up. Its all good with a gun in your hand.
As best I can remember.....
When I lived in Grande Praire Texas, I was home on leave I was awakened in the middle of the night by the sound of two men on the balcony talking. I got my gun and opened the door, and they froze and apologized. I recognized them as two friends of my sister, but I also knew that they were low life scum criminals who did house burglaries frequently. I told them to leave, and when they tried to go past me, I waived the gun at them and said, 'No, down the way you got up.' I was not going to let them get close to me. When I told them they were going too slowly, they jumped down.
When I lived in Arlington Texas I had a woman barge into my apartment in terror, fleeing her armed boyfriend. I stepped outside with my gun and asked her to point him out and he fled at the sight of my own gun. The cops arrested him about an hour later after he locked himself in his house eating ice cream and watching the TV.
Again, In Arlington Texas, I was awakened around 2 am with about 4 men trying to break down the front door to my efficiency apartment. I opened the curtains and looked at them, showed them my gun and yelled at them I was going to start shooting through the door and they ran off.
When I lived in Maryland I had two incidents, one where a man came out into the middle of one of those bumpy back rural roads and tried to flag me down. I could see a car with the hood up and several men there looking under it. I set my gun on the dash and the dude got out of my way. I am convinced it was an ambush robbery, but regardless I was not going to take any chances. Hell if four or five guys cant fix their damned car, adding one more guy trying to get home wasnt going to solve anything for them, so I doubt that they truly needed help.
While living in Maryland I was visiting a friend at a Christmas party and drove down into some little development in Northern Virginia and this apparently drunk guy in a large truck began trying to run us off the road. If I tried to slow down, he would slow down too and then try to swerve into my little sedan, which I would avoid by breaking. He tried other maneuvers as well in a persistent attempt to get me off the road. Finally I waved my 357 at him and he took the next U-turn and fled.
Those are five I recall off the top of my head, but there maybe others that I cant remember right at the moment. I dont like thinking about those episodes as they were extremely stressful and it makes my BP go up and I feel a bit stressed also. So at 58 years of age I often have trouble recalling all these unpleasant little things. Who knows how many people have avoided me because I make no secret of the fact I carry a gun almost constantly, but since living in Virginia I have had no problems, not even a bar fight. In fact, the only real trouble I have had besides traffic offenses, was some dude called the cops on me when I was open carrying at a bar, which is legal in Virginia. Lol, they had a SWAT team leader out there, and we talked nicely, I went and put my gun in my truck and went back to the bar to finish my drink.
But so far, I have never had to fire my gun at anyone. However I am mentally and physically prepared to do so if I have to.
Several friends have had similar stories, one aborted a robbery of himself by simply lifting his shirt to show he was armed. Another woman was pushed to the ground and rolled over to reveal a gun. One black guy I know fired through his jacket with a pistol at a couple of guys that tried to rob him. There are others that are foggy and I wont embellish.
But these are all anecdotal, and you could easily say that I just made them all up. So what is the point of even asking me?
