Olas Nah Posted November 12, 2019 Share #5 Posted November 12, 2019 Yes, but at a range that was not conducive to seeing its immediate effect. (I am not currently a gun owner, and that (above) was when I was in service. I owned a few guns for some years after leaving, but the ended up collecting dust after I simply lost interest in shooting due to the expense and the culture of it). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UglyBob Posted November 12, 2019 Share #10 Posted November 12, 2019 Sometimes and ounce of prevention is better than 230 grains of cure. There are certain places in this state where it's a good idea to carry, but only if you know how to use it and are willing to do so. Whenever I go out into the Bradshaw Mountains, especially alone, I open carry but I've never had to upholster my firearm. I did have a couple of pretty questionable characters start walking toward me one day, but when I casually turned so they could see I was armed, they abruptly changed direction. I could see that both had large knives in scabbards on their belts (one guy had a hand on his), but didn't see any indication of guns. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's about the only time I'd ever obtain a firearm again and for this reason. I'll never go into a large forested area without a weapon. My chief concern is people and the second concern would be defense against any animals that are bigger than I'd care for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few "less than legal" enterprises going on in those mountains. The plot of my second book revolves around certain agricultural activities popular in the area. There's also a lot of prospecting up there. Those guys get very suspicious of anyone they don't know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indy Posted November 12, 2019 Share #25 Posted November 12, 2019 Aimed once, though it was unloaded, not that the person it was pointed at new that. Dealing with trespassers/poachers, we were the Conservation Officers backup and did what he said, follow him back to the woods. He acted like he was their best buddy and we were crazed locals that just wanted to shoot them where they stood. Never seen guys so happy to get into a police car and hauled off. And I have had a gun pulled on me, crazed idiot in Fort Wayne that got pissed off because I wasn't driving fast enough for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted November 12, 2019 Share #32 Posted November 12, 2019 I have pulled the 45 and chambered a round when a security inspector went too far while I was a weapons guard. When he saw me backing away to get clear and saw the round go in he got real quite, real cooperative, real quick. The only time I needed to pull the trigger the weapon was already knocked out of my hand. Fortunately the other guy lost his in the same collision in the dark.

Further Posted November 12, 2019 Share #37 Posted November 12, 2019 I was really into catching fish, and guns. Fishing at night near a rather wild town, the natives were whooping it up along the river, I was getting a bit nervous and started thinking about the revolver on my hip. Long thought process short, I backed off on the guns and chose my fishing spots a bit more carefully. When you think about it, putting yourself a situation where you might shoot someone just to catch a catfish is pretty shortsighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted November 12, 2019 Share #39 Posted November 12, 2019 Threat with an empty shotgun - It was the summer right after HS. I was living on the second floor in a low rent apartment with sketchy parking in the rear. A friend, we'll call him Larry, was over and we were just hanging out late at night when I noticed out the window that a couple guys were scoping out Larry's car. I asked him if he had his doors locked when I saw that one of the guys opened my car door. I grabbed my empty shotgun - a Remington Model 1100 semi-auto. I opened the breach and quietly stepped on to the back porch. I hit the button to close the breach and the shotgun made a very distinctive shotgun sound. They both froze and if I remember correctly - crapped their pants (I just made that last part up). When I said stop one guy dropped my stuff and ran and the other guy just stood there shaking. Turns out I knew both of them but not well. I told the guy to go but if I found anything missing I would come visit with my shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
