Self Defense

[kilich321]

thats what we need everyone with guns.... what the hell.. selfdefense? forget about all that high kicking 1 punch knock out rubbish, unless you practice it nearly daily, your just gonna get yourself in trouble (and a black belt means you can only kick arse in your club- some clubs hand out black belts just if you can afford the price). if you really need some lessons then try krav maga, but you still need to practice, power doesnt just happen no matter how many weights you lift. need speed and technique, plus knowing where to strike. best bet is to take your heels off throw it at them run and dial the police on your mobile then run to a place with the most people.. if you can get pepper spray, THEN RUN.. be aware of your surrondings, dont venture into situations (when alone) where you maybe vunerable.. is not a perfect world, be aware of where your walking. dont think cure think prevention..
blah blah blah..
finger nails in the eyes (hard, not a little poke), real hard kick to the bollocks (following through), punch to the throat (again hard, if you have no training dont pressume you can hit like tyson, because you cant..)
the eyes and throat , as you know are sensetive dont be striking to the just cause they called you ugly, life threatening situation- then leave no doubt, strike hard, with conviction, THEN RUN.
sorry but cars are more dangerouse then guns.. only because they are more available. last i heard it wasnt cars being used in wars (unless they were getting blown up, it was guns). bank robbers dont use cars to hold up banks, the SAS dont rescue hostages using a nissan (unless its a jean claude vann dame film!!)..

Saw some of this go down as I was on the way home Friday. I shop at this Wal-Mart occasionally. At night... I like it 'cause it isn't ever crowded. LOL!

You saw that happen?

I believe it had just happened. I had to pull over for like six or seven IMPD cars, an ambulance and fire truck. They all turned into the Wal-Mart parking lot and by the time I got there everything was blocked off.

There was also a local news van and a wrecker picking up what must have been the victim's car. They had "taped off" the area around the car and there must have been 12-15 police in the area.

Anyway, going shopping was out--so I headed home. I knew something major happened but thought it was a drug bust or something. When I got home I checked the local news web page and learned about the shooting.

Never leave home without it! Seriously, I typically carry my .40 with me when I shop there late at night. I am more afraid of coming out of the store only to find my car stolen!

I must live in paradise compared to your city, aw. I always leave my car unlocked when I go into any of the stores or shopping malls around here. I've never had anything stolen from it nor have I ever had my car stolen or damaged. I even leave my car unlocked when it's parked in my driveway. I don't drive an old clunker either.

For many years in the course of my job, I carried a .357. I never had to use it. I got rid of it a few years ago. With the advent of a few serious crimes around and a friend expressing some consideration of my present living style; I went out today and re-armed.
I got a good deal on a S&W .44 Russian. I tried it too. First shot set me on my ass. I learned quickly to stand correctly. I can now hit a soda can at 60 feet. The .357 would break a bone. The .44 is heavier but slower. It removes the bone! Whatever I don't like that's on the outside; is going to stay on the outside.
Am I being too paranoid about carrying heat? Ive been n situations where heat keeps things cool.

A few years ago, my wife left the house and pushed the wrong button on the security pad and it sent a security breach message to the Sheriff. In the meantime, I came home and went up to my office. Later I heard something downstairs. I walked out of my office to be faced with two officers pointing their guns directly at me and yelling "freeze". Naturally, I did (almost froze to death, lol). It's a good thing I left my magnum 12 gauge shotgun in the room.
