Have you used a firearm in self-defense/combat?

[Subotai]

Feel free to add story. Pointed my weapon ready to fire. Didn't have to.

Presented 3 times, zero rounds fired.

Yes.

I answered the door with my pistol grip model 500 to a group of guys that wanted to lynch my black room renter for stealing a boat stereo setup.....it turned out later that one of the guys at the door was the real thief......

I run from trouble like a scared school girl. I have avoided many situations with Condition Yellow but twice I was in a bad situation and cornered before I had a chance to react and avoid it.

Once the BG and his cohort in crime de-escalated QUICKLY with a gun in their face. The other time was a DUI who was road raging and continued his attack even when staring down the wrong end of a .40 cal. I ran over the median strip in my truck to get away to avoid having to shoot this asshat.

Better to have it and not use it...

No, never have, hope to God I never will. Though I'm generally in the company of large, trained grumpy Shepherds. Tends to dissuade people from mischief.

I was sleeping in my 30' cabin cruzier near Franks Track when early in the morning I was awoken by some wake boarders as my craft was tossing to & fro.....
I burst out of the cabin with my Ruger .45 pointed down & motioned to them that I wasn't fooling around.....I was soon apprehended by the CoCoCo sheriff boat patrol
& had to give up my sidearm.....I didn't get it back

[Rosereader]

Aye, that I have. In the great Rose/Rabbit war. Actually still ongoing, just in a temporary administrative cease-fire. Started with the battle of the tomato garden back in '11. Many rabbits died that die.

[Quiet]

well this went downhill... closed.
