Just a little funny episode which happened to me this weekend.
I was driving back from a seminar on Vikings where I had been doing some show about different weapons they used, and how they used it when I get overturned by this madman, who nearly collided with a truck going the opposit way, so naturally I gave him a honk on the horn.
This fool stops at the next traffic light and steps out of the car, so in order not to get caught in a disadvantace I do the same. When he sees im not afraid he pulls out this hammer and starts gesturing in a treating manner and shouting at me, without stepping any closer though.
Well I get real ****ed and gets to the back of my car where I pull out my two-handed axe and starts playing with it.
He then quickly gets into his car and drives away.
This thread should be on the street reality section.
Egill Skallagrímsson was THE man.
You are SOOOO lucky.
In Texas, such a thing would have probably led to him reaching into his vehicle and pulling out a very real and very loaded gun.
Well, he may reach for the gun, but if I’ve just pulled an axe on him, he’s not going to get a chance to draw, let alone aim and fire it. I carry a sword in my car for just such an emergency. Of course, I also carry a gun, so I guess my argument is moot.
a lot on the depends on the distance…
There are a lot of very good shots and quick at it here…luckily, most of the good ones are not the ones who draw …but it is always a possiblity.
In such confrontations around here, there is always the ever present danger that the issue will become DEADLY serious.
Somehow, to me, there are just some things that I am not willing to kill or die for…and a lot that I AM willing to LIVE for.
