Glad you are ok.So yesterday I was working! (landscaping) and we were working in Detroit, I was weed whipping behind our customers house when all of a sudden I at the moment think I hit the back of my head on a tree branch which happens all the time so I didn't think nothin of it. So I turn around to find a blk kid holding a .357 to my head. Telling me to empty my pockets. So I had no other choice but to do so! That was the scariest moment of my life! And I was completely unprepared but that will never happen again. Should I open carry untill I get my ccw or just wait? Ps. The divide stole my weed whip too!
Yeah I'm definately gonna look for classes locally thanks for the suggestion.blackwolffcf said:That scenario, a gun would had been useless. That is why I would recommend Krav Maga. You cannot draw your weapon and defend yourself from someone who already has their weapon drawn and is with in 21 feet. (the 21 foot rule). Krav would teach you, depending on your teacher, how to effectively neutralize your attacker by disarming them and incapacitating them at the same time. Glad you are ok, I don't think I would OC in Detroit.
Thanks man. Yeah all they do is sit around and watch you an like a landscape route you do the same routine week after week. An with all that expensive equipment its a wonder it hasn't happend before.Happysniper1 said:Even if you did have a gun in you at the time, it may not have done you any good, unfortunately.
Punk had the drop on you.
Perhaps weapon takedown techniques would've helped? Maybe, maybe not.
I'm just damn glad you are OK, man!
Send the link again it didn't post. Yeah you guys are right I wouldn't of helped at all now that I look at it!series11 said:I'm glad you are OK. That is something that I hope never happens to me. I agree with the others that a CCW doesn't do much as the kid had the drop on you. Another tactic I heard was to carry a fake wallet for instances like these.
And I almost cracked up! I actually thought of that movie when I saw you walking up the driveway when we met! Funny, huh?The hills here do have eyes. But that's okay, because they're mine.
Sorry no link just something that I heard. I don't know if it would have worked in your situation but it is something to think about and something I'm considering.Send the link again it didn't post. Yeah you guys are right I wouldn't of helped at all now that I look at it!
blackwolffcf, I am curious about your statement. How would one use KM to disarm someone from, say, 20 feet away? In the scenario the OP described (close quarters), I could see physically disarming the assailant as a possibility. But what if your attacker is armed with a firearm, is ~15 ft away, and has a hair trigger finger? Any twitch by the victim could cause the attacker to start shooting.blackwolffcf said:That scenario, a gun would had been useless. That is why I would recommend Krav Maga.
