I was mugged?!?!

[SA Friday]

Second guessing his actions is worthless. Combat/self defense is dynamic, never the same twice, and unpredictable. He came out on top so apparently he handled it just fine. Quite frankly the initial contact with then is the most tense moment in the situation for both. Putting them at ease by removing valuables and putting them on the car probably gave him a huge window to draw his pistol. It also leaves additional evidence to the cops that he was the victim and being mugged.

I too must admonish you for not finishing the story. The story isn't over till you tell us the rest of the time line to the moment where you go safely back in your house, including your dealings with the local authorities.

Also Big Bear, I'm really starting to question your professionalism as a musician. Perhaps you left out the part where you yelled "Jazz Hands!" when you drew down on the guys?

Not second guessing; wanting a thorough after action report. That would include what he was thinking at the time, what, if any, opportunities opened up and at what time, etc. What he thinks he could have done better.

I would also like to know what the police response was when they show up with you holding a guy at gunpoint. i am sure your wife told the story to the dispatcher but that isn't always relayed back to the officers in time I would imagine.

i also 2nd on wanting to know what you were carrying?

I want to know what time you were able to actually get some sleep Big Bear. You were already awake at 3:00am, I imagine the adrenaline dump would have easily kept you up for a few more hours. Did your hands start shaking once you were safe in your home and you had time to relax and the gravity of the situation hit you full force? Did you recognize those guys? Are you at all concerned about any retaliation from them or anything?

[Elhuero]

lol "just this" classic!


crazy situation, glad you came out ok and kudos to the wife. seems to me like you handled everything just about perfect.

the bad guys got caught, and you didn't have to kill anyone.

I don't know if I would have handled that situation the same way, and I definitely won't say that my solution would have been better.

I'd also like to know what general area this happened in, and how the cops behaved.

again crazy scary, glad you made it out ok.

[Graves]

Wow, that's nuts! I'm glad you're okay.

Glad your good and really appreciate you sharing this. It sounds like your wife did a great job, but it really makes me want to go back and talk to my family about this type of scenario. Seems like it would be really important that when she placed the 911 call to express that the victim is a CCW holder, may have a weapon drawn, and then a decription of me. Could have turned out a bunch of different ways if you were actively engaged with the suspects when LEO arrives, knowing who was the victim would be very important...

Thoughts on that anyone?

[SA Friday]

Any news coverage on this? I bet not. It was a successful representation of CCW in this state. Democratically inclined news doesn't like to flaunt stuff contrary to their agendas.

I already emailed my entire family and told them it is time for them all to get CCW permits. hopefully this story will help with that.
