As good a time as any to stop lurking here.
This is me - The Herald Bulletin - Pizza Hut employee shoots would-be robber
Still might have a job so can't discuss yet.

pray that the big man keeps me out of the wrong spot at the wrong time.
I don't mind at all. We were in Gatlinburg. I cannot remember the name of the very large hotel but it is in a secluded area, but pretty large off of one of the highways (135?). We were outside drinking beers and playing board games. My back was to the open area, my wife and my buddy's wife were opposite from me and my buddy Dave was facing the open area. He noticed it first... it was maybe 10 feet away from us. A bear can cover 10 feet in a lot of time. I stood up fast and almost knocked the table over, and told everyone to get inside. Dave went in, his wife followed and my wife (God bless her) was trying to pick up the beer bottles and food wrappers. I grabbed her by the arm and asked her what she was doing and told her to get inside again and I went to low ready and followed her into the apartment. I don't care how exposed or 'friendly' these bears are, they are still wild animals. Once inside, I reholstered and we went to the opposite side of the cabin. A few minutes later, we heard voices outside our cabin, Dave and I looked out and it was a group of people following the bear!
I think it was the next day but someone on the hotel staff asked me if I was the one who high-tailed it back to the room? I said of course. They were polite but I could tell they were thinking something along the lines of a damn yankee running away from a friendly bear. The way I see it? How often do you hear of a 'friendly' animal mauling someone on the news? Every time there is a bear attack or other wild animal and it attacks a human, they interview others and they all say "but he was so nice all the other times!"
I ain't bein' that guy who gets mauled that one percent of the time.
ddenny5I was coming out of the old Northwest Movie Theater in Muncie after seeing a late movie. I was approached by two men one holding a knife and was asked for my wallet. I moved my coat and placed my hand on my firearm and told them I was armed and it would be in their best interest to leave. They left with no further altercation. I called the police and told them what happened. I found out they had just robbed a old lady just before trying to rob me. They were caught not long after I saw them.
