acegotflows (OP) User ID: 19532652 United States 08/25/2012 08:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | actually kind of. Here's what happened. I was at the bus stop and was walking back and forth talking. While I was stopped I was standing in the entrance exit of a plaza, but there was room to go around if it was so important. So this guy comes up right behind me and lays on his horn. I point to my chest and mouth "my bad" and nod while I step out the way. He rolls up, rolls down the window and yells "YOU ARE IN THE WAY". I said "OK I SAID MY BAD" and he procedded to pull a bag on his lap and pulled his gun. At that point I said, "OK WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, SHOOT ME?" while I stared at him. He looked at me and just rolled off. Yeah, made no sense, but some would say he was justified... You're lucky it wasn't a cop. He would have unloaded his whole clip into you. Then called some of his friends over so they could shoot what was left of you. I live in the Orlando area, and it could have been worse. He could have been neighborhood watch "a foundation built on lies is always bound to crumble and those who aren't humble shall tumble to the earth" |

acegotflows (OP) User ID: 19532652 United States 08/25/2012 08:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I live in Pine Hills right now, but because its so close to other areas, people with rebel flags roll down my main street. It's funny to me I have told a few of my friends the past few days I'm going to pick up a rebel flag shirt and wear it out and about town to see the reactions. Me a black guy with an afro and a pick wearing this downtown walking around past the courthouse and such should be a real hit...

Many folks now have guns and they used them with no fear, especially here in Lisbon. |

I'm just getting into some punk bands and one of the best ones to me from that time was a Japanese one called Stalin. Dag Nasty wasn't bad either...

acegotflows (OP) User ID: 19532652 United States 08/25/2012 08:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm wondering how bad things are going to get soon, knowing how much people are bugging out. Quoting: acegotflows Southland tales days ahead... Are you old enough to remember the O-Town riots ? I'm born and raised in miami so are you speaking of the overtown ones? I wasn't born for the Mcdiffie but the Lozano ones are etched in my memory... "a foundation built on lies is always bound to crumble and those who aren't humble shall tumble to the earth" |

I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

Didin't miss out on the end of the cocaine cowboy era though. I grew up around the conrer from the Johnny Castro mosque...

Good for you OP, but I take an issue with one small item from your post and it isn't related to you of your actions... I live in AZ, and I can say this with certainty... here in AZ... NO ONE - NOT EVEN CRAZY PEOPLE - would even think of trying to intimidate someone with a gun due to the fact that no one can know who has a gun to begin with. Sounds crazy, but around here, there are no fake tough guys going around town with guns trying to punk people out due to the fact that they might get themselves shot first. Open carry, concealed carry w/o a license and you can bring your gun into a bar unless otherwise posted... all these things lead to people being much more careful and far less 'cowboy' in their dealings with each other when any dispute comes up in a public place such as you described. But in Chicago... where they ban guns... well... I digress. |

I carry open and concealed, and never in a million years would I pull some stupid shit like that. Sorry, you were probably dealing with a criminal, or potential criminal to be. Don't hate the rest of us that carry, we just might be there to back you up, or save your life. You handled the situation well. Shabbat Shalom, Eliyah Ben Yisrael |

I open carry, conceal carry, and sometimes both. I train often. Been around firearms since I was about 8. NRA Pistol Instructor, GLOCK Armorer, and GLOCK Instructor as well. Enough of my ramblings. |
