If you own a gun, you will appreciate this. If not, you should get one and learn how to use it: ●Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians. ●It's always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. ●Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length. ●Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off. (I prefer the sound of a round being chambered when you load a shotgun) ●The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second. ●The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win - cheat if necessary. ●Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it'll be empty. ● If you're in a gun fight:
- If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
- If you're not loading, you should be moving,
- If you're not moving', you're dead. ● In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something! ●If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about? (I call it being prepared) ●You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language. AMEN! ●You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family. If you believe in the 2nd Amendment, please forward.
Arm's length?? No
No threat should be allowed within 21 feet
Exactly. 10ft per second. In two seconds someone twenty feet away can have their hands on your throat. It takes two seconds to draw and fire.
20 feet.
There's a jogger joke in there somewhere but I haven't seen them lately so I assume it's not riot season yet or the accounts are getting banned.
I learned from a cousin when I was young to never let someone get close enough to hit me, without hitting them first. Has protected me quit a few times.
One account. Driving, a guy cut short the intersection and passed me. At the service road red light, he jumped out of his car and came toward me. I quickly got out of car. Just before he got close enough, to where he could hit me, I nailed him.
Here's the funny part. I knocked him out cold. Didn't want to leave him in middle of road blocking traffic, so I picked him up and threw him over in the ditch, got in my car, and was back at my apartment in a couple minutes.
I told my new wife, lets ride up the street, I just hit a guy and knocked him out, and want to see what's happening. She asked in a frighten voice, you wrecked our car? I said no, I hit him with my fist.
We drive back up the road, and I guess he woke up and drove off. Everything was back to normal.
I bet he thinks twice before he walks back to someone's car. Especially when that someone is the size of Jack Reacher.
What a moron lol. Only close call I've heard from friends were when a guy did basically the same as your situation except it wasn't one guy getting out the car. My friend reached for his piece not knowing what to expect but luckily all those other dudes were actually just trying to get their idiot friend back in the car. I'll never understand this Man vs. Car thing NPCs seem to love. Like what's their plan when your door is locked? They gonna break your window and their fist in the process?
True about the breaking fist. There was a serious accident on highway adjacent to my parents house. I was one of first on scene. Someone said we need to get them out of car. Car was locked up. I hit the back glass with my fist once, it did not break. I hit the window as hard as I could second time like I was breaking a concrete block for Black Belt test, which I've done a few times, it did not break.
I don't ever show pain, but my hand was seriously stung. And I think it did some perm damage. All the times I've hit brick walls as a teen when drinking a little to much, did not do as much.
I have a pointy spring thing in truck, but did not think to grab it.
And if you own a firearm for self-defense, I strongly urge you to get carry insurance. Even in red states, all it takes is one of Soros' prosecutors to ruin your life.
ALL insurance is a bet against the house and the house never loses else it would be broke.
Bank the premiums, earn the interest. I’ve been carrying for 25 years and banking 300 monthly premiums.
You are are goddamn FUD
Until you have to spring 500k for a lawyer to defend yourself against a legal defensive use of a firearm. Or until you're in a car accident. Or you take a hail storm to the house.
Fuck lawyers
I generally agree, until you need one.
Ill be the fool who represents himself.
I am 72 y.o. I have carried everyday since 1996. I have been driving since 1962. I now own my third home. You are a FUD.
Good for you. How many people have you shot? How much $ do you think the Rittenhouse family is in the hole?
Rittenhouse? None. I have already sent $100 directly to his Attorney of Record Escrow Account. Have you? GiveSendGo/gucz is over $500,000
And he'll probably use every penny of that fund. Carry insurance would have covered it up to $1MM. Not sure why you are being such a defensive prick about it - no one is forcing you to buy insurance. Enjoy your bicycle, because I'm pretty sure you either 1) are driving w/o auto insurance, 2) have auto insurance, which makes you a hypocrite or 3) you are lying. Which one is it?
I respectfully disagree.

That’s why I have a stainless 1911!
Some of these are good, some are... urban myths.
Not going to carry a shotgun of any kind for concealed personal defence. Safeties don’t make much noise.
As far as I can figure the only warning they need is when they’re staring at the business end. Then they have that moment to decide their outcome.
The most often not talked about thing... The shock from the sound pressure wave from the first shot is going to be nearly as devastating as the impact of the projectile. Discharging a .45 in an enclosed space without hearing protection is extremely painful and a great way to live with tinitius the rest of your life.
Better tinnitus than dead. Fight like you train. “Wait, wait. Gotta put on my mouse-ears!”
OPie sailed a Boomer with an emergency 1000 Hp diesel. That’s loud.
I understand. That said the effect is disorientating to the extreme. I tried it at my enclosed range, so I could know what it felt like. I was barely able to put the 1911 on the table as I was collapsing to my knees in pain.
Maybe I have sensitive ears but... yeah, no, that was not fun at all.
