The first time I had to pull my weapon was about 4 years ago.I was a tow truck operator at the time.I was dispatched to pick up and impound a vehical in a small town justnorth of where I live.The chief of police asked me to give the guys driving the car a ride to the bus station as they were on the way home to Mexico.(about 2.5 hours south)I told the guys the charge would be $20 cash and they agreed.When we got to the station they exited my truck and refused to pay.One of the guys pulled out his pocket knife and asked if we were going to have a problem.I reached into my door pocket and pointed a .380 at him and said "no I don't think we are.You gonna pay me or what"He promptly put his knife away and payed me.
The second time was last year and this one was much more of a dire situation.My mother in law lives next door to a psycho older man.He is well known in town for gutting people in his younger days and getting awaywith it scott-free.He and I had words a few time about where LEGALY park my truck.Once after we both got pretty heated but not wanting to punch an old man in the chest and kill him I dropped it and went inside.As most of you know atm you can not open carry in TX and I don't have a CHL.You can however carry in your vehical.He knows I carry a 9mm and still insisted on attacking me that afternoon when I walked back outside.He came at me with a serated(sp?) curved blade about 4 inches long.I was able to throw him on the ground but not before he cut me twice.Luckily it wasn't bad at all.I didn't even realize i had been cut at that point.He got up and I drew down.He kept telling me to shoot him.I told him to take one step forward and I'd put two in his chest and one in his head.He never did take that step.The police showed up shortly after.I secured my weapon and handed it over to the LEO's.They arrested him for assault with a deadly weapon and gave me my gun back the next day after the required ATF checks.
I firmly belive my weapon saved my life even though i never fired a shot.At the very least it saved me from serious injury both times.

FLAG ON THE PLAY!!! I'M THROWING THE BULLCHIPS FLAG ON THIS ONE!!!
Your lousy spelling, grammar,run-on sentences, lack of typing skills and recently made screen name leads me to believe you are a previously known to ussporknoid and bullchipper with previous sillyazz posts under the s/n of GlockIt.
A tow-driver that impounds a vehicle NEVER gives the people that had it a ride. They're usually so pissed off, the tow driver would likely do it in the middle of the night OR have police on hand for security. This story doesn't hold water, champ...
"Curved serrated 4" blade"??? Never seen a curved blade that short. Never seen a serrated curved blade... period. I've seen "skinning" knives that short, but they're not usually serrated.
If you were invoved in an incident like this in Texas, you would NOT get your weapon back the NEXT DAY. It would take a few WEEKS or even a MONTH or more for them to give it back. They don't do an "ATF" check. They do ballistic fingerprinting of your weapon and check the marks left by your extractor, firing pin and rifling of your barrel, EVEN THOUGH YOU NEVER FIRED A SHOT! ATF doesn't maintain a database on that stuff, the FBI and individual states do.
You're STILL more FOS than a Christmas Turkey. Don't you have some homework to do?
