How else would the Russians open bottles of vodka in a combat zone?
I can't believe that the PPSh drum mags are sturdy enough to hold someone up!

[QUOTE=Tread;113642]
I meant, was there one who robbed you violent or threatening at/in your home, while you were home. QUOTE] When I lived in a bad neighborhood, I was jogging around the hood and some crack dealers threw a rock at me, so I scooped up a small rock and returned fire. The next thing I know, some hopped up jig is attacking me with a "for sale" sign from my next door neighbor's townhouse. While I was considering my options, two more Brothers were running toward us, I thought "Well, now I'm either dead or saved" Luckily, they grabbed their homeboy and pulled him back to their corner. I had a couple other showdowns with young black males, in every case, they knew where I lived.It cost me $100,000. to get out of that place. When I used to go shooting I used a .22 because the ammo was so cheap. My buddy's sexy 9MM was so expensive to shoot, an afternoon of snorting coke would have been cheaper! I actually bought an pellet airgun from Walmart w/ scope for under $25, but it was pretty accurate for a toy. |

My buddy and I went to the range to test fire his new Springfield 1911.

new hangun
Well i just picked up my new revolver today its the new Taurus .45/410 Revolver it is chambered both for the .45 cal long colt and the 410
shotgun shell! my gun is like the one in the pic. but mine is 3" Matte Stainless 2 1/2" Chamber Crimson Trace Grip 5 shots. i fired it at the range today and it was awesome hardly any kick, i fired it point blank about 5 feet away into a watermelon 2 shots they was nothing left!. at the price of $425 i will be using this gun as my every day carrying gun i like this gun because of the shotgun shells can be fired out of it. |

Try not to pull a "Plaxico Burress" with that cannon!
My buddy had an old Army .45 that had been bored out to fit a 12 gauge shotgun shell, it had been machined to lever open and eject the spent casing. It came from Nam and had both US and Chinese serial numbers on it. I almost purchased it for $100, but really, what's it good for except a few years in jail? I wish I had taken some pictures of it, though. |

Hey DSL! What kind of shot do you have for your Judge? (not that there is much choice) Lemme know how the .45 Colts perform; I'm thinking of getting a Judge, a Tokarev or a 1911 in January.

bowhunting
Yes I bowhunt though I havent in a long time. Tried to get my equipment back in shape but it was too late in the season this year. Had to get a new bowquiver the arrow holders had dried up and crumbled away. I used to shoot in target and bowhunter leagues. This was the first year that crossbows were legal in new jersey. I actually got to shoot one at a sportshop. I want one! lol On another note Had my younger son out today for the opener of 6 day firearm buck season. This was his 4 th trip out and finally we some some deer. saw 5 Unfortunately I inadvertantly spooked away a 6 pointer on him Felt really bad. Told him ahhhh well you'll never forget this day and will be cursing me still 30 years from now lol. Like losing a big fish it was the first of many deer you will see but not get son. He took it like a trooper though.

I had a bow and arrow set but i sold the whole set for $50 had a 80 lb pull to it. why i sold it because i moved into a smaller apartment i use to do
bow target pratice also. cross bows are illegal in the state of Ma. not sure why tho i think bow and arrows are just as deadly as cross bows. |

Well, for one thing, I doubt the 2 million people in US jails would go there if you just said pretty please. Hopefully the psychos with guns are in jail now. My relatives in the country all have guns. Cars are much more deadly than guns, but I still drive one.

No i don't live in a shit-hole actually its a pretty quiet area and building too
i have moved here since july 15th and been quiet since other then a couple of house breaks down the street from me and a stabbing but thats about it. but my building does have security cams dead bolts outside entry door and my apartment door 3 locks. |

guns??????????
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!!)..

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. Last edited by aw9725; 01-31-2010 at 12:52 AM. |

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.

ila and all my friends on this forum,
Sometimes I think it’s just the United States that is more violent. I have always lived in fairly affluent neighborhoods outside of big cities (Detroit, New York, and Indianapolis) but there has always been present the threat of robbery, burglary, or murder. That particular Wal-Mart is only about five miles from where I live. Currently I live in a very nice “Townhome” complex whose residents are mostly upscale professional types and boasts a couple of Indianapolis “Colts” among its members. To the West are the suburbs of Brownsburg and Avon where I lived when I was in high-school and all the time I was married. Avon, in particular, has a “meth” problem--we experienced a rash of burglaries in our own neighborhood ($500K and up homes) while I was married. Our house was a 6000 sq ft “McMansion.” Not exactly the slums. To the East on 86th street is the “Keystone Crossing” Fashion Mall. Very upscale. The biggest danger there is you might be run over by a Hummer or hit by a speeding Porsche! If you head North, you will run into Hamilton county which features $1M+ homes. Don’t know who all lives in them. Mostly CEO’s, Colts and Pacers, doctors, attorneys, etc. Larry Bird has a 12,000 sq ft home up there somewhere. Don’t hear about a lot of crime up that way! South of me is the “Lafayette Square” area. Once a beautiful mall and place to hangout. The gym where I worked as a trainer in high-school and college was there and is no more. That entire area has since declined and the mall has mostly shutdown. It is a sad ghost town. I drive by it every day on I-65 and am glad I don’t have to stop at a light or have a flat! One of my nursing “colleagues” husband had his new truck “carjacked” at gunpoint while he was at the McDonalds there last year. Another had his car broken into. The last time I shopped there was about five years ago with my “ex.” We made jokes about getting mugged! My campus is located “in the city” and we have had our share of “incidents.” A man was murdered on the golf course across from our campus, a Butler University policeman was shot and killed a couple of years ago--all Indianapolis schools were placed under “lockdown” and we were alerted since we are close to them. A public park just down the street used to be one of the city’s major sites for drug deals. A few students have had cars damaged or been assaulted. There was also for a time, a department store that was converted into a “Country & Western” bar complete with mechanical bull. The surrounding community is predominately African-American. FAIL! The city finally got smart and took its liquor license away after several people had been injured in fights or killed. We now have our own University police that carry guns and routinely patrol the neighborhood. I think the area is safer now than it was. I don’t worry too much myself but I don’t usually stop ‘till I get home. I do sometimes play golf on that course. But I am such a terrible golfer that I am usually the most dangerous thing on the course! Downtown, our biggest attraction is the “Circle Center” mall. Very nice but the parking garages are patrolled only by unarmed “mall cops” and have been the scene of several robberies and assaults. My “ex” and I had an “incident” there that I wrote about in an earlier post. I was there just last December with my new ladyfriend and didn’t have any problems however. Long before my family moved down here, there was a series of “bombings” in Speedway (near the 500 track) and also a gruesome (and still unsolved) murder of several young people. They were called the “Burger Chef” murders (“Google” it!). It’s still there but it is a “Payday Loan” place now or something. Even the area around the famous “Motor Speedway” is bad! I wish I had an answer. There seems to be a definite correlation between economic decline and rate of crime. For myself, I know I don’t really feel in danger most of the time but I wouldn’t dream of leaving my car unlocked. And when I go downtown, if I am not “carrying,” I am at least very “aware” of my surroundings and avoid dark areas, elevators, etc. If I’m with a date, I’m even more careful! Just after the semester let out, several of my colleagues and I met for drinks. Somehow, we ended up on this topic of “crime” and “self defense.” We all discussed what we would do and how one might “avoid” bad situations in the first place. I shared how I approach this problem. They all burst out laughing at the idea of anyone picking a fight with me or trying to rob me. I guess I don’t look like an “easy” target! They also know about my background in martial arts and how much I lift. But still, I don’t take anything for granted--you never know what you might run into, how strong your opponent is or how many there might be, or if they are on “PCP” or something, or if they are armed. And if you do seriously hurt or kill someone, you are going to have to show it was unavoidable and in self-defense. I don’t care what anyone “says”--you most likely WILL be treated as a suspect. And that gun better be legal!!! The book I mentioned in an earlier post: “In the Gravest Extreme.” Read it. Months ago, I started this thread in hope that others here would be encouraged to take a stand against violence by learning how to defend themselves. The transgender community seems to be a prime target for acts of violence. Singled out simply because of who they are. And often smaller or weaker than their attacker. Plus, the violence seems to be at an “excessive” level--the attackers don’t just want to hurt their transsexual victim--they want to kill. The more I learn about such incidents, the more I realize that these “hate” crimes have a more sinister motivation than most types of crime. So, I was advocating learning “self defense” from many perspectives--including “self awareness”--and yes, carrying a firearm--if it is legal to do so in your area, and you are trained in its use. I was glad to see that there were others on here who felt similarly and also worked out, practiced martial-arts, carried knives, pepper spray, and even guns. However not everybody is mentally prepared to take aggressive action or to go so far as to hurt or kill an attacker. My intent was to get people who maybe felt helpless and scared to start thinking that it’s OK to defend yourself--you don't need to live in fear. There are many martial arts you can learn, many weapons to carry. And I don't want this to become another "debate" about calibers or "styles." It can all be effective! This is turning out to be a long post so I should wind it down. I’m not sure about the “socioeconomic” reasons for violent crime or the decline of our cities (I have read a lot about it and have my own theories). Nor will I ever understand fully the mind of the “hater” that attacks someone just because they are “different” (race, gender, nationality, gay, strait, bi, trans, whatever…) or the mind of a killer like “BTK” or Ted Bundy, or Jeffery Dahmer, etc. Finally, I’m not going to debate “gun ownership” with anyone (I respect your views) or get into a “pissing contest” with anyone (after all, I've learned everyone here packs a .50 "Desert Eagle" and knows Krav Maga), or talk about “fear or respect” anymore. If you are really interested in learning a martial art, or getting in better shape, or learning to shoot, I would be glad to give you some advice. I know a lot about it. And I’m really a nice guy! Trust me. Just one who figured out a long time ago when he was a skinny little kid in Detroit the best way to be safe was to be strong--and well prepared. Peace, Andy Last edited by aw9725; 01-31-2010 at 09:00 PM. |

Indianapolis is indeed a dangerous city. Since my last post (only 3 days ago!) we have had at least two more homicides. Also our university police issued a warning that there have been several vehicle thefts on our campus this past week.
One thing that keeps our crime stats "looking better than they really are" is the inclusion of the wealthy suburbs such as Carmel and Fishers just to the North. Here is an interesting blog on Indianapolis crime: http://indianapolistimesblog.blogspo...ime-stats.html Last edited by aw9725; 02-04-2010 at 04:38 PM. |
