You would *think* I'd be anti-gun after that many times.

Why did your wife do that anyway Rip?

Combat situation, no.
Hand-to-hand with a 1000 lbs mad bull with big horns though.

He shredded my clothes and threw me around like a paperdoll. Had to claw one of his eyes out to ensure my escape.
3 broken ribs that day.
Bloody awful.

I dunno, he got the "Swoop Clown" part right

Ping, ex-girlfriends tend to not want to let go of the reigns on a well-hung horse.

ping... I have seen two women with guns pointed in my general direction and it was the scariest... You have no idea what they will do. One woman shot a guy that was next to me the other was pointing a cocked 44 buldog at my brother... the bulldog was a gun I had worked over for him and had about a 2 lb trigger pull.. her eyes were glazed over and she was frothing.

Glad the drug dealers didn't have helicopters and artilery and stuff tho.

Does an urban combat with the riot police, as a participant of a demonstrating crowd, count?
