I carry whenever I remember to, which is pretty much always. I've drawn a loaded handgun on someone three times, and every time the other dude decided to find an easier target.

People always get this really offended look when you stick a pistol in their face - like it's your fault they're trying to fuck you over. Jackasses.

The only thing I think I can say about drawing a pistol on someone is - do it early and have your finger on the trigger already.

[How NOT to carry a firearm...]

So....

Dude from C 3/75, Squad Leader, lives in the great state of Alabama and happens to be on the way to Battalion. Sadly, his route takes him along VD drive and through the edge of Baker Village...AKA, THE FUCKING GHETTO.

Said Squad Leader stops at a red light, and the next thing he knows, some shit bag jumps in his gddamn pick up truck with a gun!

FUCCCK!!!!

Said shitbag demands cash and a ride...probably to a crack house or some shit, and our Squad Leader complies and starts driving while developing a plan. While driving down the road, our Squad Leader checks out his enemy, and assesses his firepower. It's a revolver, and upon closer scrutiny, it turns out to be................

















An EMPTY revolver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!


Our Squad Leader notices the empty cylinder bigger than shit!


Our Squad Leader goes from compliant to psycho-pissed off pit-bull angry in approximately .10 seconds and SLAAAAMS on the brakes of his pick-up!



RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.....this PROMPTLY and VIOLENTLY sends our EMPTY revolver owning crack addict into the windshield, and upon rebounding off of the dash, our Squad Leader commences to LAY THE FUCKING SMACK down on said crack head!!!

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

The crack addict, tired of getting his ass beat inside the pick up, opts to get his ass kicked OUTSIDE the pick up and tries to flee. HOWEVER, there will be NO escape, as our Squad Leader exits as well, and closes in on his prey, and commences to re-engage the target!

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

The next thing our Squad Leader knew, a couple of Columbus LEO's show up, and call a cease fire. Turns out that a vehicle behind him at the stop light saw the shit bag infiltrate the vehicle and gave them a call with a description. Of course, the crack addict promptly accused our Squad Leader of assault, however, the LEO's didn't buy it.

Moral of the story: IF you carry, make sure your shit is LOADED and IF you opt to roll on someone, make SURE you apply appropriate target selection.

Guns are bad. Thank goodness I don't have any at all, nor carry one, ever.
Your chances of being shot by a gun that you carry have been proven to be really, really high.

Since I live in Arizona just about everytime I go to the grocerey store or anywhere else there is some dude with a pistol on his hip. So if I really need a gun I will just borrow one of those.

The wife and I both carry, both have CCWs (Florida, good in 39 states and they issue to non-residents! :wink: ). I have pulled my duty weapon more times than I can remember or have the strength to count but never while carrying concealed off duty (although I have been VERY close a time or two). I don't go anywhere without it and if I do, its CLOSE and I can get to it. To quote DeNiro "I never walk into a place I don't know how to walk out of".

For the love of god, why don’t the moderators kill this thread?
I have not seen this much stupidity my entire life.

SPECOPS you sure do make a lot of references to homosexuality. That is a tale-tale sign of someone who is not secure with there manhood. It is obvious that you lack any qualities that a real man may have. I pity you and your obviously pathetic existence.

Yep, smacks of ArmyRanger.com very much! lol
