I was forced to use my handgun to defend myself yesterday......


As I was leaving my house, I stuffed my Glock 10mm "man gun" Mexican style in my pants. My backup is a fully customized 1911 with all the IPSC add-on options in my $500.00 leather pancake holster custom made by Belgian Monks who have devoted their lives to silence and holster making. These are the ones used by SEAL Team 6, which I used to be a part of, but all records of my activities were destroyed in a fire "accident".

I put on my Royal Robbins photographer vest to match my pants while wearing a T-shirt underneath reading "From My Cold Dead Hands". That way, nobody can see what I'm packing.
I had my Centennial .38 Special in my ankle holster, just like the gun rag guys carry.

Lastly, I had my "Covert Sniper" I.D. Card in my wallet with my "Concealed Weapons Permit Badge". I was ready for anything.

I drove my Bug Out Truck to the 7-11 for some beer, 'cause you never know. It is a performance styled Subaru BRAT with 4 cylinders of ground pounding fury.

I pulled up to the 7-11 store and noticed a nefarious looking Girl Scout eyeballing me from the back of her mothers' SUV. A likely cover.

The mother returned to the truck and went for the keys in her purse, but I knew from my years of combat honed instincts that she was actually making a furtive movement for an offensive weapon.

I attempted a tactical shoulder roll, but fell flat on my face, kind of flopping on the pavement to avoid any incoming rounds and to make it look like I meant to do that. The store owner called 911, which is good because I then did a roll and attempted to draw my Glock.

Unfortunately, since I did not have a holster, the gun "went off", and the bullet creased my privates.

But I was prepared for that and bit down on a 9mm casing to take my mind off the pain as I dove for the garbage barrel.

That's when I noticed the Girl Scout shouting something to her mother who began to take cover. I knew they were closing on me so I drew my custom trusty 1911 Wilson Combat...I knew that they would be impressed with that. I then duck walked to the front of her SUV, but my gut kinda got in the way and I fell on my rear, which caused me to swallow my 9mm casing.
I then tried to roll to my right, but didn't want to scuff my holster, so I just threw myself into the telephone pole, but I landed on my right side anyway. So I fired one shot towards the woman's SUV to pin them down as I recovered my wind.

And before the mother knew what was happening, I charged her and I threw my groin into her knee. I knew that as I vomited on the ground in front of her that I had interrupted her OODA loop. I had the advantage now. As she ran screaming for the Girl Scout, (I knew she was going for backup) I made for my Super Charged BRAT Tactical truck. I jumped into the drivers seat forgetting that I had left my rare Israeli contract AR 15 Bayonet on the seat, honed to a razor's edge. I could handle it though. Half of my butt is an implant from war wounds.

As I attempted to start my truck, police and paramedics arrived on the scene. My truck would not start and instead backfired once and caused the police to Tase me. At which point I tactically soiled myself while in convulsions. My custom 1911 then fell out the window, but I still had my Centennial .38. I knew that I had to take out the woman with the purse.

So I aimed my revolver at her at which point the first police officer fired once striking me in the chest. Fortunately, I was wearing my level 3A body armor. I didn't want to hurt the cops--they had obviously been duped by the evil temptress who was now embracing her partner in crime and crying to the police in the background. I knew it was a ruse.

I pulled out my concealed weapons permit badge and showed it to the officer who shot me and yelled out, "I'm one of you guys!". He continued to cover me and ordered me to drop my .38 so I laid it down. I still had my bayonet after all, attached to my butt.

The cop walked toward me and upon reading the badge, maced me right in the eyes. Fortunately, my Oakley shooting glasses stopped most of the spray and I was able to rip free of the Taser cords easily. It only cost me one nipple, easily replaced. I dove for the passenger side of my truck and began to run zig-zag for a ditch. Unfortunately, the bayonet sticking out of my rear slowed me down. I knew it would have to be hand-to-hand now.

I knew the cop couldn't take me when I saw he merely carried a Glock 17, not a man's gun. So I immediately threw my eye into his right hook, followed by a knee into his Mag light. As I lay thrashing on the ground, I took the heel of my Bates Enforcer boot and kicked at the cops ankle. I knew from my classified experiences in Tajikistan that once breaking the ankle, the cop would fall down and I could "stun kick" him in the head, knocking him out but not hurting him.

Apparently the cop had also been to Tajikistan because he side stepped me and struck me in the back with his ASP baton, but my trauma plate absorbed it. I then drew my Benchmade auto knife and was promptly tased again, but I was ready for it this time and only wet myself a little bit.

Next thing those cops knew, I was unconscious. That'll teach 'em.

(do I need to add the
:sarcasm: tag?)

5. HAHAHA! Bet you throw a mean face, too!
The only funnier one would be the foofoo lady telling a mugger to hold her makeup, ciggies, keys, wallet, cell phone and other crap while she fished around in her purse for her Lady Smith.

9. Did you copy that from a gun-grabber site? Those people take a simple innocuous fact and roll it
Edited on Sun Mar-22-09 05:02 PM by jody
into a small tight ball of myths making guns the victim to serve as an incubator for new gun-grabbers.

They are such laughable creatures but they can be affected by spending that much time in close contact with their fantasies away from gainful employment.

11. I don't know where it originated.
It has been on the Internet for years now, just saw it posted at a humor site I visited so I thought I would share it here.

13. So I take it you did not find that funny?
Edited on Sun Mar-22-09 05:39 PM by wartrace
I found it on a pro gun website in their humor section. I believe it was originally a story written by an individual to describe a gun board troll who used the handle "gunkid". http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/2006/07/goodbye-gunkid.html

There is another great one "Mall Ninja" in response to John's "aka gunkid" job he claimed to have with mall security.

17. Sometimes it's good to laugh at yourself ...
you just got to have broad shoulders and let the insults roll off.

Older white Anglo Saxon short bald guys with a bear belly (like me) get a lot of practice at laughing at ourselves. We could always bitch, but no one would listen.

We just have to be very careful who is around when we tell jokes as everyone else today seems to be super sensitive. I learned that at the sensitivity classes I had to endure before I retired.

18. ROFL at "bear belly". I was at the gym recently and my friend was using the abs machine. I asked in
jest "What are you doing?"

He replied "Working on my six-pack."

I promptly replied "Looks more like a keg than a six-pack."

That brought smiles and laughter to our friends.

:hi:

20. No, perhaps "bear belly" is a suitable substitute.

30. Well, um, "bear belly" and "bald"
I represent those remarks! I have come to embrace my bearishness. (I have become the kind of man I used to go for... oh, dear...)

Oh well, if I can't marry, at least I can still carry :)

27. Having a bad day?
Come on now, it was posted as humor. It is NOT like a racial joke because it is totally generic and makes fun of behaviors that ARE a choice rather than something that can't be changed. I have never seen a negative reaction to this little story in the many times I have seen it posted all over the Internet.

I apologise if this offended you, others seemed to enjoy it.

28. Didn't offend me. I often point out the similarity between gun-grabbers and dung-beetles because
both spend so much time rolling balls of s***.

31. I KNEW it! Another Evil Gun-Grabber Plot!!
Here's the only sane definition of a "gun-grabber" - Someone who literally wants to take our guns away. I've yet to read a comment in this forum by anyone who fits that description. Or to meet such a Bozo in person.
A "Gun-Nut", on the other hand, is easy to identify. First of all, he's unable to laugh at himself. Or to appreciate satire, irony or parody. For example, he would find no humor in this (hilarious) OP, but would instead see it as an insidious plot, almost certainly orchestrated by (who else?) the evil gun-grabbers. (Who also, jody informs us, shun "gainful employment". I didn't know that! Why, it wouldn't surprise me if they all have long hair, never bathe and are card-carrying Commies too!)
Gun-nuts' stunted sense of humor can make it difficult to distinguish them from extreme right-wing ideologues. The difference is, um..... give me a minute....

16. Actually the humor was pretty good...
Reminds me of some movies I've watched recently.

I used to wear a photographer's vest a lot, it's amazing what you can carry in one of those. I had screw drivers, batteries, scissors, pocket knives, a calculator, pens and paper, a variety of over the counter medicines etc,etc.

Of course of photographer's vest without a camera is a give away that you are carrying. Of course, I did carry when I was in public. Occasionally some of the local "gangstas" and I would pass on the street. I'd check out their baggy clothing and they would eye my photographers vest. Everybody would nod respectfully and we would go on our way.

The character in the post packs a lot of heat. I've only known a couple of people who carried full sized weapons on a regular basis. In my travels, I never ran across a 10mm Glock. The term "man gun" would be appropriate and I understand the Glock 20 does have a cult following. Only a total idiot would carry a Glock in his waistband without a holster, but then your character is a total idiot.

I could ramble on, but basically I got a good laugh from your post and it helped lighten up my day a little. Thanks.

33. My Elitism Saved my Life Today
I don't believe in guns for self-defense and believe in it so strongly that I will die by that belief. Guns are only meant to kill. No one except police and military should have guns. If we just talked more with criminals then maybe we would build an understaning and solve our differences. Today a felon on parole broke into my house. I instantly dialed 911. It took 10 minutes for the police to arrive. I believe in efficient government and am glad my taxes provided a police force that could quickly respond. In the mean time I came to an understanding with the criminal. I felt his pain. I felt so sorry for him that I cried when he ripped my wifes panties off to come to an understanding with her. She cried too, but mostly she screamed a lot. I said, 'Honey, it is not his fault. He is a victim of the system.' In 5 minutes it was over and he was out the door. I flashed him a peace sign and said 'peace out man'. I then hugged my wife and we had a crystal healing moment. When the cops arrived, I told them to get the heck out and take your guns with you. In response they ripped me away from my white wife. One of the cops commented that he has a black male in custody. Once they got that sorted out, the cops had a high speed chase with the perp. It ended when charged at them with a knife. The newspapers called it sucide by cop. Apparently he didn't want to go back to prison,and was going to take as many people with him. I really hate the cops now, thier guns only made it worse, and a man is now dead. If only they had somekind of gun that shot darts with a sleeping drug. When they searched his car, they found an assault rifle. See? The guns caused him to do it. In the mean time I see a news report of the parole board that let him out of prison early. Nice progressive guys I admire. They are trying to help people.
