A phaser might get him more respect in this case.

How would I explain that .38 to my boss?

I want that cane that Maggie mentioned before...now THAT sounds sweet.

wolf · 02-15-2003, 11:53 AM

You don't show the .38 to your boss so you don't have to explain it, silly.

elSicomoro · 02-15-2003, 12:20 PM

I'm always thinking worst-case scenario...like if someone tries to assault me at work, and I have to pull it, then what?

Plus, given my girth at the moment, I'd have a hard time concealing it.

You probably wont have to fire it. Most assheads enjoy the intimidation factor and when you have a bead on them, they suddenly don't want to fight. If they are a drug crazed loon and don't recognize they will soon be shot, *shoot them* so they *do recognize* the scenario next time.

And then call the janitorial dept for cleanup.

As for the cane gun, I think it would work well for you. When you point the cane at the perp, he'll either laugh or be confused (until you touch one off in his face....see above).

Another handy hint ... if your assailant is any closer than 20 feet, he'll get to you before you get to your gun. Start your threat assessment early.

Syc, you only just started working for Manny, Moe, and Jack ... are you ALREADY making that much of an impression on your coworkers?

Girth is much less of a consideration than you might think with respect to carrying. Pick the right holster and you won't have a problem. Wear the pimpin' coat, and no one will EVER know ... I do find that I have different concerns than I used to when selecting clothing. Appropriate size and color are of course still WAY up there, but the "will it conceal the holster?" factor is really more significant. If the blouse isn't blousy enough ... wear a jacket or a vest. Or, as I've mentioned before, a good bellypack holster can be an important accessory, although I really dislike carrying in a purse or anything like it.

Shooting a revolver accurately enough at self-defense distances is not a magical skill, it can be learned with less practice than you might think.

Amen. Get a nice long-barreled revolver, scope... you could easily put a shot through a barn at 10 yards.

Not that I have any great love for the brand, but Smith & Wesson just brought out a new revolver ... .50 cal, with a new cartridge type, apparently.

One of the regulars I ride the bus with in the morning had some interesting news regarding Creepy Guy.

Apparently, Creepy Guy got on the route 20 bus last night around 10 or 11ish. He was doing his usual thing, but apparently, he purposely farted on someone. The guy he did this to was apparently not in a good mood to begin with, and started ranting at him, while Creepy Guy stared at him.

A short time later, Creepy Guy got off. So did the guy he farted on. The guy proceeded to beat the hell out of Creepy Guy. Then the guy got back on the bus, and the bus drove away.

I feel bad for Creepy Guy, but at the same time, it's rather funny. I wish I would have been there.

What the fuck was he thinking. There are millions of people that think that creepy guy and people like him have zero value in this world. They most likely still wouldn't hassle them, but when "creepys" pull shit like that, they're just begging to wake up dead in some dumpster or back alley.

elSicomoro · 03-28-2003, 07:17 PM

I'm not trying to condone the actions of Creepy Guy here, and it's not like the offended guy could have necessarily known, but...

This guy could have some sort of mental issue (and I suspect that he does). For all we know, the guy may simply not be in his right mind. On the other hand, the asswhipper could have become the ass-whippee had Creepy Guy become completely unstable.

And truth be told, anybody that saw the fight is a witness to an assault. You may not like someone farting on you, but I'm not sure if that's justification to whip his ass.

Still though...funny stuff.

The harsh reality is that no one really cares about creepys. Their creepiness is a byproduct of the mental illness that keeps them from knowing how vulnerable they are (IMO).

I've seen em in my travels but have never had any problems with them. If one of them farted on me, there would be *some* type of retaliation. Maybe not at the moment, but sometime, from up close or far away. Thats unacceptable.

Watch it there pardner...some folks may find you creepy.
