Is that a superman ring

[TheYankeeMarshal]

@jna466 Yes

I see your point, but much more indimitading than the weapon is the competent way it is presented, the seriousnes, intent, and confidence you project. The predators of society recogonize a serious person and most would rather deal with a sheeple. More than once this has saved me from having to take someones life.

[TheYankeeMarshal]

@CCW1911 Maybe, but I personally would not care if they were wearing clown shoes, a garbage bag dress, and held the gun with their pinky out. If they pointed a gun at me I am out of there.

You pull a gun to shoot, not to measure dicks.

[TheYankeeMarshal]

@jjmrotc You pull a gun to defend yourself. If you are puling it to shoot you are a dick.

[TheYankeeMarshal]

@GUNNY50BMG I hope you realize that is you pull a gun and the person reacts by stepping back or putting his hands up and you still shoot and a single witness sees that you will be in jail for a very long time.

@tubevideoguy762 A friend of mine is a policeman and he has drawn his pistol on criminals many times. He says that intimidation is real and that everyone, except one madman, became somewhat stunned for maybe half a minute or so when they realised that they had a real gun pointed at them. Most people are not gun people and something that might be mistaken for a cell phone, a wallet or a toy might not have the same psychological effect as a gun that looks more like a 'real' gun.

[Caucasusdream]

@tubevideoguy762 It is not nonsense. If you compare it to knives a pointy and shiny blade will intimidate most people a lot more than a dull grey or black blade that you might not even see or instinctively recognise as a knife. All people have a subconscious idea of what knives, guns and other dangerous objects look like and to most people this idea comes from TV and movies. A gun that looks like a gun is more intimidating than something that looks like a small plastic toy.

i would run like hell

[ZombieMasterEd25]

revolver! lol

[martyngmeyers]

BTW Yankee, I strongly support your position of getting "out of there". Getting into a gun fight is stupid if you don't have too. Good advice.

[martyngmeyers]

I tend to agree. Officer safety training always has an element of vocal intimidation for a reason. All confrontations are psychological at their core.  Regardless of your sex, in a conflict always be the Alpha Male.

One Sec. to make Life or Death decision's not to mention What the conciquences of even letting your gun be seen
