I escaped a robbery

[chris1911]

Hilarious posts, thanks for re-posting. I have to say though, unless you are looking to destroy your camera in your avatar, did you really learn any gun safety rules from the classes in your sig line?

More cool stories from the same bro'...

Good find.

I have to ask also- he sent you flying 7 or 8 feet?

Go to the gym bro.


Sent from a deserted island using a message in a bottle....

A man twice my size called me over to him in the dark of night. I did not know this man so I continued on. The suddeny I heard footsteps rushing up behind me and tha same man said "boy you better listen to me when im talking to you" and bam! I saw a flash of light as he punched me in the side of my head. I heard oohs and ahhs as I fell to the ground and somehow landed on my back 7 or 8 feet away from my attacker.

What types of forces where involved to propel you 7-8 feet from your attacker, but you still remain relatively un harmed and concuss and alert(ish)

He the rushed me with both hands forward so I pulled my concealed pistol out and pulled the trigger 3 times rapidly while pointed at his chest.

He rushed you those 7-8 feet and you had time to draw and fire 3 times? Most people are not getting a gun out in 2 seconds or less, much less anyone hit hard enough to move 7-8 feet. A guy closing those 7-8 feet could do it faster than you can click-click-click

The gun didnt fire so I immediately yelled the words freeze! so that he could see that I had a weapon.

you had the wherewithal to yell freeze, but not to defeat your safety? Please tell me you practice laying on the ground yelling freeze and not drawing and removing the safety.

e backed up giving me time to get back on my feet. This is where i realized the safty was still on. I stepped back with my weapon pointed towards the ground and he rushes towards me again so I fired a round into the ground near he feet. He then immediately jumped into a push up position as I backed away and got the hell out of the area.

So you fired at the ground and the man jumped into the area that you were firing at? Not back, not left, not right, but the only other direction available to a human...into the path of the bullet just fired?

How do you know his intention was to rob you?

Maybe he just wanted to rape you.

[biglou]

You should have thrown your gun at him is this Curtis?

[golfish]

He called you "boy"?

Are you black?


Next time go Glock

I haven't heard such a pile of b.s. since my pathological liar of a neighbor moved out of the neighborhood.

Dude, if you were really serious about this story, you've got a big problem. Get some help fast.

Like my neighbor, after a while you will start to believe your own b.s.

Some of his stories included,

Skydiving with a shoot that did not open. Not once, but 6 times.

Doing a halo jump into West Germany to dispatch the chancellor.

Being a tunnel rat in Vietnam. My neighbor weighed 285 pounds.

Taking out 6-7 Irvine police, in the station while handcuffed.

Being a gynecologist.

Being a brain surgeon.

Lots of blood and guts war stories . He never went to war, but he almost lost his cookies when I cut myself working on my Harley.

If you are doing this for entertainment, your going to have to be way more creative to entertain anyone with an I.Q.

Good Luck

If its true you need to work on the story, but the story is a bit hard to believe, consider I personally experience a robbery attempt http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...d.php?t=786110
and your story has a lot of problems/issue to be believable.

1. Turning your back to an aggressive person
2. Heard oohs and ahhs? Someone else around? or was that you oohing and ahhing?
3. landed on your back 7 to 8 feet away from attacker? Maybe you have cat like landing skills, but 7 to 8 feet? that's awfully far. He must have fist the size and weight of a car or you were running full sprint and he some how punched you on the side of the head sending you falling and sliding 7 to 8 feet.
4. You had time to to draw your pistol from concealment? assuming IWB and pull the trigger 3 times and yell freeze after when he was 7 to 8 feet away? Either the attacker stood there recharging his energy to his fist lol... Realistically I would imagine he pouncing you and beating you into a bloody pulp.
5. Push up position ? I have no comment
6. You got the hell out of the area? Strange, are you legal CCW? Not detaining the guy until the police arrived?

So those problems listed above makes me wonder if the story is BS, and if its true are you legal CCW and had any training at all?

to answer your question,

Any thoughts on how this would have ended for either of us if my saftey were not on?

You would be in a lot of trouble, legal issues, your gun taken as evidence and you booked, bail, and months to years until the case is settled and $$$$ attorney fees. If there was no witnesses or camera's you just killed an unarmed man, that would be a fun battle.

Cool story

He immediately jumped into a push-up position? LOL! Among the array of possible reactions to having a shot fired in your direction, that is one that definitely has not occurred to me.

This ^^^^

Story doesn't sound believable. A normal reaction would have been fight or flight, not exercise.

this really happend. i was eating dinner with elvis, 2pac and big foot when i witnessed it all. but he didnt pull out a gun, it was his wallet.. and it wasnt a man attacker, it was an old lady needing depends. and yes, he shat himself.
