Of the rare times I actually comment on a story like this, giving it the benefit of the doubt ( I did have some) everyone has gets to call it BS. :?

Oh well.
lol - yea ditto. I figured just be polite for a welcome. One never knows till it sorts out for a few days.

"Surprisingly the girl in the story gave her story too, and thankfully she did say that the man put his hands on her and started pushing her around."

You know it is BS when you read that.:? The "girl" always stands up for the loser.:banghead:

Agreed.

That is why domestic violence calls are so dangerous. You get the attacker off the victim and then the victim starts beating at you too - now you have two attackers.

The story sounds like it's unfounded and BS. Too bad but it does bring up using a taser or some less than lethal force for thosesituation that lethal force is really in the grey area.

Taser or peper spray. Those cartridges can be a bit spendy but if you can get replacements (for free)that would be great.

It is not just the cartridge they replace but the whole unit if you have to leave that behind after using it for self defense.

Right. They will replace whatever you have to leave behind, as long as it mentions it in the police report.

No newspaper, radio or TV report, No police case number given, No booking information re that incident, none of the officers on duty at that time have any knowledge of this. Wait all you want...BS pure and simple

Why wouldn't he or anyone else call on the issue, it directly affects the creditability of the armed citizen.

We do not need story tellers and wannabes as it reflects badly upon us all.

At this rate they should just ban accounts of self-defense stories.

There hasn't been a single one in months that isn't decried as B.S.

Maybe they all are B.S.

But, we all carry these guns for self-defense, surely they get used from time to time. But never reported here.

Why is that?

Calling the P.D. and actually asking officers if there was such an incident just lights the O.P's fire. If he made it up, then he wants the attention, and he's certainly scored by getting this many replies. Just ignore it, and don't even post. Usually people who are attention craved will just move on.

Looks like he hasn't even been back since making the post anyway.

(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady
(That, that) Dude looks like a lady

Cruised into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced the grime on the door
She a long lost love at first bite
Baby maybe you're wrong, but you know it's all right
That's right

(That, that)
(That, that)

Backstage we're having the time
Of our lives until somebody say
Forgive me if I seem out of line
Then she whipped out her gun
And tried to blow me away

(That, that) Dude looks like a lady

Because I would guess that most of the time one in the defensive position has been smartly advised to keep his mouth shut.

Or maybe they don't suffer from Macho Man Syndrome and don't feel the need to come blabbing about it on the internets.
