I was ALMOST robbed today!

[CindyE]

The reason you may not see a police report, is because the officer told me this is a pretty common thing that happens there.. so i imagine that they think "O another day in good ol Logansport", no reason to file another one that we have no intention of further investigating.. To be honest i dont care what the police do, im just glad i saved my life, and made it home with out being arrested. I dont care what people on here say, i handled things in the best way (Most Legal) way possible, no paperwork, no wondering if the BG's family would try to sue me, all that B.S. This entire situation turned out "OK"

Not finding fault with you, just some of us live in or near Logan, or work there. I guess we are thinking of saving our own skins!
Yesterday afternoon there were 4 cop cars downtown in front of The Nest, lights flashing. Never heard a thing about it.

I understand, i mean im in Logansport at least twice a week, so i know him getting away is a bad thing but you have to look at it from my point of view. I did the most i needed to do to save myself and do it all legally..

Finger on trigger or not doesn't matter. I'd prefer to have mine ready to pull the trigger if it's me. A spit second could make a big difference in some cases. As long as you have no intention to pull the trigger unless it's necessary. I have done my share in the sand box over there to know how important it is to be ready all the time.

As I already stated, glad that you made it out ok, and you did not have any fails. You got home alive, you didn't go to jail. Other then that, its all small stuff. Someone else pointed out, its easy to be a keyboard Monday morning quarter back, and they were right. Anyone can take 30 minutes to come up with "what" they think you should have done in the 2 seconds that it took you to do it. Keep your head up and keep doing the right thing.

You did an excellent job OP!

This will be yet another of the daily defense uses of a firearm that the jackass lib media will never acknowledge.

exactly!

 

[Archbishop]

Ummm.... No. Clips hold the case down by the rim. Magazines encase the entire cartridge. There is a difference.

Not this crap again! Give it a rest......

 

[jbrooks19]

Sadly, this crap is everywhere!! i made the mistake of calling a Glock mag, a clip... And Holy sh!* everyone had to correct me, its like they have nothing else to do.. I think they have been previously been named the "Couch quarterback's" LOL

This whole thread stinks of BS.. you filed a police report and they don't care about this happening to other residents of Logansport?

Mmmkay!

 

[ATM]

+1 jbrooks19 on getting home safely from the incident in Logansport.

 

[cityboy172]

Today in Logansport i was at the gas station, just went in for a coke.. I came out and as i was about to get in my car a guy walked out from behind the gas station and said "Give me your money and i wont hurt you"......
I was thinking who does this douche bag think he is?............... So i instantly drew my Glock out and yelled step back, his eyes got HUGE and he backed up, as soon as i got my phone out to call the police he took off running.. Glad i had my Glock!!!!

you don't sound to awfully bright. I hope you were lying about drawing your weapon.

 

[jbrooks19]

I wish there was a way to close this thread, you guys are completely demeaning a serious thread about me almost being robbed, so if you can't post useful prospects on here, please keep your comments to yourself. and if you are implying that i made this up, for post counts, or whatever, that is just ignorant. I would not do that.

 

[jbrooks19]

How do i sound like i'm not "bright"? enlighten me.

you don't sound to awfully bright. I hope you were lying about drawing your weapon.

 

[cityboy172]

How do i sound like i'm not "bright"? enlighten me.

Wouldn't it have been safer to give him you money, therefor eliminating the threat in a safer manner ?

 

[cityboy172]

How do i sound like i'm not "bright"? enlighten me.

if you ever have to draw your weapon, you use it. Not to intimidate, but to protect your life. Did the dude even have a weapon? knife? pencil? grenade? rocket laucher? anything?

It was a typical day on USENET. An angry mob beating a greasy spot on the pavement where used to lie the carcass of a dead horse.

You bring back the memories!

Ah, I remember alt.deadhorse.die.die.die - those were the days.
