It's a darn shame you couldn't put a couple sentences IN for the MP's to bless the post. It was rather INtriguing and simply a good story. This happens to be a nice lINk.

maybe that's what that guy who posted about loud music and being disrespectful to an older gentleman needs to read.

Whats even more intriguing is this quote by the cheif of police

"They were in their right to defend themselves after being held up," Hernandez said

Had that been here in some areas. the tourist would have been arrested and charged with using undue force

"IN'  basically means you recognise the violation of the forum rules and predict that the thread will be closed and you are placing your post on the the thread to get IN on the thrad before its closed

How long has #17 been there?  I either never got that far, or never checked the rules again for updates after reading them way back when...  :rolleyes:

Wow, did him in bare handed.  Unfortunately that will give ammo (so to speak) to the anti gun faction who'll chant: "See?  Toja guns are not necessary!"

anything is an extension of the real weapon, which is your mind. hands, feet, elbows, knees, salt and pepper shakers, bottles of any type, rocks, scrap iron, etc.  whatever you can turn into a missle becomes a weapon that will allow you to flee/re-postion for better advantage.  there is also the advantage one has over an attacker who believes he holds the upper hand and did not foresee the possibility that the victim will strike.  necks break easily as do arms and legs.  the thing is why risk injury when a well placed double tap leaves you with the only story to tell the authorities?

It would really be interesting to see how many of the anti's have ever been in a real fight. Not a punch in the face fight, but one that would result in the morgue if they lost. Unfortunately in the internet there are so many mr blacks rather than real folks. It gets real different when the knife is real.
