Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Concealed Carry- Escape or Stand your ground?

Turns out it’s a aggravated assault in Arizona also.

Moral of the story: when you’re within your rights to protect yourself or family with deadly force, just do it. Don’t just aim at the bad guy or show off your weapon.

And we let them fly combat aircraft....

I believe the most commonly used word in the English language is "What?"

Jorge always wanna talk about herself.

LOL

Bullshît. Hes in his car. Dude comes up banging on his car acting aggressively. After dude confronted him while he was pumping gas. He shows dude his gun and says fûck off. He leaves.

No way in that scenario did he commit aggravated assault.

Also, that is horrible advice. You are not obligated to shoot just because to show or pull your weapon. De-escalation is a thing…..

Same here. Still have the full size 1911. its now my jacket weather gun. Really like the P365

Ive had a few situations where deadly force was within seconds of being an option but THANK GOD it never came to that. In none of those cases did the aggressor ever know what my next step would have been.
My Dad, on the other hand was "old school" and had no problem letting thugs know he had a gun. In one instance he caught a doped up [bleep] trying to ram his truck through a gate onto our property. Instead of just killing the bastard then and there, he pulled his pistol out and ran the guy off only to be called by the sheriff 30 minutes later telling him he need to come post his bond! Dopehead called the law and took out a warrant for assault with a deadly weapon. I made it a point to be at the court date, dopehead completely unaware who I was or that I was there. Turns out he was on parole and by the time my Dads lawyer got done with him he weas happy just to walk out and not go to jail himself. Dad is gone now but for 40 years I tried to drill it in his head to NOT WAVE THAT DAMN GUN AROUND!

You don’t say?

Sell all your firearms and keep to applying lipstick.

Lol

Situational awareness first, distance first and a half. Only if there's no escape or bullets already flying should metal clear leather. That said, I don't know what I'd do if there was gunfire and I was seeing victims fall. But I have run toward other dangers, so I hope I do the right thing and can live with the consequences.

Sorry, but you're wrong on this and you've been wrong throughout this entire thread.

As a landlord for 20+ years, I've run into situations. I've had 5 where an aggressor got to see my gun. More than once, cops were called or informed after the fact. They didn't bat an eye. In every instance, I was in a position where I could have instantly needed to discharge the weapon.

But hey. It's the Free State of Florida. Not Commiefornia or Potland.
