Has anyone ever had to draw down on a bad guy? or actually been involved in a self defense shooting here?
Not every one posts in that section.
Me,back in Feb. i came close,had to shoulder my ruger(keeping it pointed down though)
My ex step father/sisters father (whom hasnt lived here in 4 1/2 years and has no custody)
got released from jail at 5am and walked right over here,apparently to try and beg for a place to stay from what he says,well it was about 6am and he decided to try and break in my front door to gain access to the inside.
He was pounding on the door,hard enough that it sent a nice crack through the door frame and indents on the door itself.
I got woke up by my dog,heard the noise,grabbed my ruger and then held him there for a minute,until i realized it was him,then i let him in.
no LEO's involved,he offered to fix the damage,he didnt have a coat on.
Then another time,back in late july,a group of drunk guys at a movie theatre decided to pick a fight with me and aliesha(last movie of the night,we were the only ones left in there)
Long story short,i pulled my knife out and kept them at bay until security arrived,they ran off.
once. stopped for gas on 8 mile in southfield after work at night. after i gassed up i sat in my pickup for a minute looking for something. a messy unshaven white guy early 20's came up to my driver window. sig sauer was already in my hand. he asked if i any had money to give to him. i said i have money just none for you. he said more insistantly that i need to give him money. said again - not for you. his hands were in his pockets and i kept my eyes on that and said 'you need to go away from me right now'. he demanded i show him how much i had. i said 'yeah you're right. i have 9 (pointing it at him). all he said was 'bye' and pedaled away. i didn't report it to the police.
i think he was trying to intimidate me without ever saying a direct threat. that way if caught he could say he was just trying to panhandle and not rob.
if anybody is old enough to remember the bernard goetz case in new york this was a good example. he said they threatened him with a screwdriver on the subway and demanded money. he had a concealed revolver and shot them. when interviewed they said they were just asking for money. for a while he was the poster child for personal protection even if he had an illegal weapon in new york.
