Has anyone had to use their HD or EDC guns, and care to share the story? This includes drawing down without discharging the weapon. These stories are usually covered up by mainstream media, and never get the publicity that they deserve.
Not me but my dad did to protect me.
We were going to a Los Angeles post office to get my passport since I was leaving the country in a few months to my next duty station. A bum was asking people on the sidewalk for change. I had just stepped out of the car in the parking lot. The bum came at me and was in melee range when dad pulled his 9mm out. I stepped back since I didn't know what he was doing. The bum backed off and went back to the sidewalk. I think he was trying to wash the windows or something but there is no way I wanted him near me, especially charging off the sidewalk. Like most of the homeless in LA, I have no doubt he had a shank or worse.
My dad was off-duty and this not something that gets much attention to LAPD.
nope....but even if I did, I don't think I would be posting it on the internet for everyone to see.
