Twice I have been in need of a firearm. Both times I was glad we had it.

I was walking back from load testing in a field which I had permission to shoot. It was near the house so I didn't want to drive. Walked back and a car passed me and stopped about a quarter mile ahead. Well, could I have run? Probably but I don't think I can get to a phone before their car caught up to me. Had to keep walking. 3 guys came out and wanted money and had knives. Bad move. Dropped my checkbook and pretended to get money in my jacket. Took out Mr Ruger. They decided they were just kidding and didn't want any trouble.

I was in Gurnee Falls with another couple. She decided she had to have the bathroom NOW. Her husband stopped. We had no idea what she wanted to do. Seemed like she was taking a bath. Found out later that she was primping herself after taking a leak. WTF? We were going to dinner. Well, a guy walked up and started talking to my buddy. We were in the minivan. He was driving and the wife and I were behind. Suddenly he pulled out a knife and told my buddy that he could slit my buddy's throat from where he was. Buddy acknowledged and asked the wife to bring out "baby". Again, he was kidding and offered to sell us his "Rambo" knife he paid $300 for $30. We should have robbed him there and then but we told him to leave.
