The way I recollect the story(too lazy to look it up) is that it started from a dead stop....Guessin I am not too worried about a high noon showdown with you...

I presume it started from a dead stop, since I heard behind me the sudden sound of a revving engine (like you'd hear if it was suddenly floored from idle) and tires spinning out. By the time I turned around to see what the ruckus was all about, it had already covered quite a bit of distance, still accelerating, leaving me only just enough time, moving as fast as I was able with an elderly dog in tow, to get myself and him out of the way. Essentially, I was dragging the poor old guy, who had no idea what was going on. Very scary situation. I hope it never happens to you. This guy's intention, with reckless disregard for life, was clearly to cause me to fear for my life.

Today I have this in my pocket. ![[Linked Image]](http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp308/Deshkaelf/b0ba5cef.jpg) You [bleep]!  I hope I'm missing part of your reply at my end, cause I'm a girl and I see nothing [bleep] about my choice. Fits in my pocket better than my ingram does.

I'm still carrying a KA-BAR, Dozier design single blade with the pocket clip.
ELF, have you started the new job yet? Training? I have lost track.

I knew you were. I was just teasing.  That's a very appropriate pocket knife for a lady.

Sounds like the perfect time to defend yourself....unless he was from a dead stop 10 yards away....just dosen't add up...haven't been in that situation...but my story woulda ended with "then I blew out his back window...killing the mofo... and all of Florida are proud" I might end up in a court room...but still woulda been better than on here sounding like a puss...just sayin

I would have loved to seen you do it, too, for he surely had it coming. I would also have made a weekly visit to you in jail in gratitude.

Old pic, but I'm carrying my faithful William Henry T-12 today. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/member_images//567582-WHt12.jpg)
You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

My knife for carrying at work is a Ka-bar Dozier. It used to be available in D2 but I was never able to get my hands on one. The knife I carry outside of work is a Spyderco Native straight edge. Nail
What about guns?When do we get guns?
