I once held a group of 23 Honey Badgers at bay,for 72 hours!!
Their was a gay white man doing commentary, from somewhere out of my line of sight,as well!![:I]
I never had to fire a shot,the mere sight of my .999 cal SUPER MAG. was enough to quell any attack!!
Discussing gunfights.
2. Asking who has actually shot somebody is not a good idea. Very few people on these forums have actually shot somebody in civilian self-defense situations, and those who have either don't wish to discuss it or will often be called liars if they do.
not who shot someone for self defence. look at my account of what happened !!! a lead to the [?] it was not a gun fight[;)]quote:Originally posted by KEVD18

To be fair, I ordered it to halt and fired a warning shot. Problem with snakes, you are always shooting them in the back.
I'm out of green ink.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche

I had one run right out of the woods straight at me. I decided to defend myself against that one.

One final edit, forgot to ad that I use a gun to defend myself from all of these zombified species. I use a different long arm for each one if it makes a difference.
There are also the zombie bass, crappie, brim, redfish, catfish, and speckled trout. I usually use a rod-n-reel to defend myself from those those.

I did, Chicago, South Side 1983 or there abouts. Had to put a 38 derringer on the forehead of a fellow that wanted a quarter and would not take no for an answer. His four buddies backing him up in "asking" decided a quarter was easier to get elsewhere. I was NEVER so scared in my life.
just to let you know, there was no harm to the rabbit i actually turned the sprinkler on on he/she enjoyed it
sprinkler to the left ia active

Luck was with the birds as my bb gun thwarted the grey beasts.
Two occassions. No shots fired. The presence of the gun was sufficient.
They'll have you outflanked and trapped in the classic pinscher maneuver in no time. They'll cut your supply lines and the next thing you know, you're fixing bayonet to save your sorry hide.
God.
Still gives me nightmares.
I often show my daughters boyfriends my pistol, and show them the graves of previous suitors out back

never show them the location, make them worry that it'll never be found!

Two transients/bums/homeless (whatever) were going through the pockets of an unconscious feller who was wearing shorts and a light jacket on a sidewalk. It was around 5 degrees outside, and I was concerned that the boy in shorts was not long for this world.
I stopped, had the wife dial 911 and approached the trio.
Had I not been armed, I would have stayed in the Jeep and waited for the police. Being armed allowed for me to approach them and stop what was going on and render assistance to the victim.
Officer arrived within 5 minutes. I told him I thought the guy in shorts was in danger of dying, gave him my contact information, he let me know the situation was in hand and I left.
No one knew I was armed at the time, and it was an issue only to me in that it allowed for inserting myself into a situation where I could help, but would have been reluctant to do so absent the ability to protect myself had it gone south.

I shot my car last weekend.
Tragic friendly fire incident.
I find myself wanting to do that a lot lately.
As to the original question, have been fortunate enough that I have never been put in that position.
I have entered one situation that I would not have entered had I not been armed.

When I was just a kid, I was riding with a friend around the roads in a lake park. Some very drunk/high partiers in the park thought it might be fun to block our path and see what sport they might make of us. There were two of us, and maybe 15 of them, not good odds. I leaned out the window with my old Winchester 37 single shot 16 gauge, and leveled it at the lead party boy. Without saying a word, he got the message: I might not get all of them, but I was damn sure going to get him. They decided to pursue other interests.
I used my Smith & Wesson 49 to persuade an angry man with a jack handle to get the heck away from my truck window.

Damn now i know what happened...[:D]
I have never had to, and, even though I carry, I hope never to have the need.
