I believe there was no other way for me to handle it. I'm in my own neighborhood walking my dog on the sidewalk at 530PM. The sidewalk and road is separated by a three foot easement. This guy pulled out of his driveway and by the time he reached me he had to be pushing 35-40 mph. I watched the entire thing unfold and I figured it had to be a joke.

If I had fired my weapon I likely still would've been run over. So like I said, it's best for both parties it did not come to that.

Yes, because a Mercedes is just as if not more dangerous than my LCP. I honestly feared he was going to run me and my pup over.

So instead of like, running up into the yard, you pulled your gun, where like you just mentioned, wouldn’t have stopped him from running you over?

If so, what were the circumstances?


I woke up to the sound of someone breaking into my bedroom window with a knife, trying to jimmy the lock. I see his silhouette, and drop out the bed and grab my gun from my night stand and point a bead at him and ask what he’s doing, as if I didn’t know. Didn’t know what to say. Heard some incoherent mumbling, and I then proceeded to go to the front door with chain on it and open it to confront him, making sure to keep myself away from floor being kicked in as well as gun away from that as well. Guy was hammered drunk and said he was looking for some chick. I then showed him a quick glance at my gun from behind the door and told him he almost met Jesus. He gets this real shocked look, starts apologizing profusely and then takes off.

Looking back on it, would you have handled it differently?


I should never have gone to the door, but days before cell phones took over and land line was on the other side of the house to call cops. I still should have stayed where I was behind the cover of the bed and maintained eye contact on him with my gun and told him to leave. Never called the cops and that really bothered me afterward that I didn’t. I really should have reported his arse, but I was so pumped with Adrenalin that I didn’t even think to do it. My roommate finally gets his arse up and asks what all the noise was and we talk about it for hours later.

There is no telling how you will react when put into a situation where you have fewer than seconds to react.

With his immediate trajectory it wouldn't have mattered if I tried to avoid impact. He was going to hit me.

Nah. Every now and then the dogs will go crazy and I’ll get it out to sweep the house. Other than that, never had to use it, never really want to.

One friend pulled a gun on a few of us for making fun of him while he was banging a larger girl. We were not expecting a naked man with a glock when the door swung open. He’s the founder and CEO for a large successful company now.

Not pot. The whole 10 seconds of him bowing up on me, saying I was a dead man, and me responding by drawing my gun and shoving it in his mouth as I took him to the ground, my only thought was "I chose not to be a druggie, but I'm going to have to kill some fricking drug dealer anyway. frick this shitty world."

Yes. Many times. And, used it.


Sorry. In war time in the military. Did not mean to imply I was a latter day Charles Bronson or Rambo. Now, about that putting a loaded .45 auto in someone’s mouth. Bullsh*t. Don’t believe that’s the whole “story”, sir.

You do not need to own a gun. You're a freaking idiot. I hope you don't kill someone one day.

Yeahhhhh. You shouldn't tell this story again. You sound like a damn idiot. Just tell people you almost got run over and it scared you. Telling people you pulled your gun does you no favors.
