Holiday Shopper Draws Weapon After Getting Punched - Gun News at Guns.com You are in a line and have words with someone that line jumped. He punches you. Do you draw???
So, you just let him stab you?i'm punched and thats it? no. him pulling a knife or continuing the assault? no.
So, you just let him stab you?
meant that. got lost in my own head for a moment. or it was lost in me. either way.i'm punched and thats it? no. him pulling a knife or continuing the assault? Yes.
Not tootin my own horn here, but I'm a decent sized human and I would more than likely atta...er I mean defend myself by beati...I mean restraining him until the police showed up. Just kidding, but in reality you really have to be sure that someone is trying to hurt more than just your pride. A punch I would not pull the firearm out, but if a knife came out and I was in no position to disarm him, then the firearm comes out.
Not being in his shoes, I can stand back with a cool head and realize that calling out a line jumper wasn't worth being punched in the face. When I carry a handgun, I cannot escalate a situation that does not already require deadly force.
Unless it's a line to marry Jewel Staite......then the gloves are off and may God have mercy on your soul.
I am old and tired and cannot fight nor do I wish to fight, gun comes out, the choices are his to make at that point. Did I mention I am old and tired? Easier just to shoot you.
I avoid this dilemma by immediately shooting line jumpers no questions asked. No need to bring words into play that might get me punched.
