All you people that won't defend yourselves
Are just passing your problems on to someone else! The next time it might be a man hunting with a child. You will have stamped it OK to rob and hold a gun on them too. Have some guts! You owe it to your community. Lack of character is what landed us in the situation where we have to worry about these things in the first place!

RE: All you people that won't defend yourselves
Silent, I am assuming you are referring to the recent post where the hunter was robbed by armed thieves. If that was the scenario what do you expect people to do? You have a rifle leveled at you from point blank range. I hate to tell, you but at that point they make the rules. Nobody in their right mind is going to risk their lives and call the bluff. I agree with you that we should stand up and defend ourselfs. Ive been jumped before(they had baseball bats)and I fought back. They gave me 30 stitches, but they didnt get my property. But let me tell you if they were holding rifles and not louisville sluggers, they would have gotten whatever they wanted and I would live another day to revenge it!

RE: All you people that won't defend yourselves
why rehash a locked topic?
but let me straighten you out: It's not about having guts or not. Nobody said that they wouldn't defend themsleves...but it doesn't take a genious to figure out when a man points a gun at you and wants your deer, that the best thing to do it let him have it. I carry a Glock model 30 (45acp) daily...you will be hard pressed to find me NOT carrying it. I don't carry when I bowhunt for 2 reasons 1) it is illegal in my state 2)the public land I hunt on is a Federal wildlife refuge and it is illegal to carry a gun on the property. I value my right to carry too much to risk getting caught violating the law. I guarentee you that in such a situation, tha DA will do his best to hang you with violating whatever laws you did by carrying where you are not supposed to, whether the shooting was justified or not. that being said, I shoot IDPA matches (International Defensive Pistol Association). I can tell you with upmost confidence that if you were to engage me in a gun fight, all I need is a portion of your head sticking out and you are a dead man. You grab my wife and hold her hostage, you better not let that head be where I can see it because I will blow it off of your shoulders. And I can do it while jogging backwards to cover. Part of the responsiblity of carrying a handgun is knowing when NOT to shoot jusst as well as when. If I'm in a bank, and a couple if dudes bust in robbing the place, as long as they're not killing folks, I'm on the floor doing what they say. Damn sure not doing to die defending the banks money. Just like I'm not going to risk pulling a gun on some fool that already has a gun pulled on me. This ain't the movies. More than likely he will take the deer and go. If I feel that death is inevitable, then I would have no choice but to fight. Now,an unarmed guy wanting my deer is going to have a fight on his hands. But you dummys are wanting to fight back a guy that already has his gun on you? Hope you have a good insurance policy. Hey, I tell you what, go ahead and fight back! That way, that's one less hunter in the woods bothering me when I'm hunting. You people need to grow up. I don't know if your girlfriends are reading this or somehting, but I'm trying to figure out who you are trying to impress. Sure ain't impressing me none.

RE: All you people that won't defend yourselves
I was referring to all of the people that were saying they wouldn't fight over a deer. blah blah blah
I wouldn't expect anyone to do anything with a gun trained on them but there were several other situations mentioned that were flat out cowardly. I wouldn't shoot anyone over a deer. But you can bet I would defend my deer or a piece of friggin bubble gum for that matter! I would however shoot someone for trying to asssault me while defending my deer. All of those that said they blantantly wouldn't fight over a deer etc. Well they are passing there problem on to someone else becasue they didn't have the guts to fight it themselves. I will guarantee that the first time someone beats a deer stealing slob into a mangled mess, will be the last time he bullies anyone out of a deer. People that refuse to fight are the reason people like this exist. I wouldn't kill someone for a deer but I would kill someone in self defense in a heart beat and never lose a wink of sleep! For those of you that say that you would just set there and take it, how far do they have to go? At what point do you decide to stand up and fight? I refuse to let any human invade me or my family in that manner. I refuse to be a victim! I have no sympathy for those of you that accept being a victim! Sometimes you have no choice but to be a victim, but you don't ever have to accept it! Brian, I assure you, the feeling is mutual! Protect your hunting rights, "Spay or neuter a liberal."

RE: All you people that won't defend yourselves
well the scenario that sagitatrious threw out there was for a couple of armed guys taking his buddies deer, and wanted to know what we would do...that's why everybody was saying fighting over a deer wasn't worth it
I don't think anybody said they wouldn't fight against an unarmed attacker (I'd make him eat dirt) [*]NRA Annual Member www.nra.org[*]TNUSA Annual Member www.tnugent.com[*]NAHC[*]GOA[*]IDPA |

RE: All you people that won't defend yourselves
SILENT... you're grasping at air and twisting the scenerio. The question was put to us as being out numbered, undergunned etc. If I guy shows me his fist and I have both arms he's in for a fight. No one said we wouldn't defend ourselves. We simply stated we didn't see the value in taking a life over a piece of meat. I have no quams about blasting the hell out of someone if the situation merits such a response. I've done it before. I've also put the barrell of a loaded gun to someones temple with every intention of dropping the hammer if things didn't proceed really well. But I just don't think a piece of meat is worth it. No matter how macho you think it is to defend yourself and "STUFF" at all cost.... if I have the drop on you with a firearm you don't stand a chance if my intentions are to shoot. Go ahead... try it... "make my day". <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> I personnally have NEVER heard a direct story(other than an urban legend) where someone took a deer a gunpoint. Don't try and blame us for the next victim of a crime because we see MORE value in life than a chunk of meat. We're not passing anything on to the next guy. We're using prudent judgement and making our standards as to what life is worth. It's more than a pound of jerky.

In lieu of the prior topic and the replies that were given, I have decided to change my stance and get a sub-machine gun attached to the front of my truck.

RE: All you people that won't defend yourselves
Ok lets just play out your example of "the next time it might be a man with a child"
Since its your example I hope you dont mind me useing you in it. You are faced with a couple of Unarmed men, now I havent seen many of those out in the woods but lets continue, they want your deer and dont care what it takes to get it. Your a good size guy but its still two on one and the odds are against you and now you add that your child is with you but never mind about that its your deer that is important. So its on and the kicking and hitting and what ever else is hitting the fan and so far things are going about even but then you get hit and it takes the starch out and they see it and now they start working you one on one with the other flanking you and again your get hit hard with what ever they may of picked up and go down. Lets add somthing here before going on. Say its your son thats with you and he sees dad needing help so he rushes in to help. What do you think is going to happen to him? ok back to the story, lets see You went down and then both start puting it to you and you are now hurt, maybe bad. If your lucky they take the deer and leave but are you lucky. You cant get out and your kid cant help. Maybe he can go and try to find help but gets lost in the process. Now both are in trouble in a bad way. Now lets also see here, what if the kid was your young daughter? Im not even going to go into the possibilitys of what might happen there and again for what? A deer! What are you going to do while your on the ground and they are doing who knows what to the kid. Nothing becouse you missed your chance to get them away to safty, your Deer was more important. Cant happen to you! You bet your sweet --- it can! Just as easy as it can to anyone of us. It doesnt take guts just the use of poor judgement.

Gee, I have been attacked in the woods.But over a land dispute and because 2 idiots did not like me as a disabled person carrying a crossbow.I would never kill any one over a deer.But when they assault me and my body I will do what ever I need to do to survive.With my crossbow I have not much defense,cause it is illegal to carry a firearm in Pa. in the bow season.But God forbid the person who asaults me in the Pa. in the gun season for no reason.

RE: All you people that won't defend yourselves
It used to be when someone would rob you that was all they did. Now they will shoot you, too. Just so there are no witnesses to an armed robbery.
The sherriff down here has even said on television that they used to tell people to give the robbers what they want and not to fight, but now he doesn't think that is the case now. If you see a way to get the upper hand then do it! If you are armed try to get them, cause they might shoot you even if you comply with their demands. So...yes I'll defend myself and my property, once i harvest a deer it is mine. Hey wimp, as for the escape route? heck the attacker could have easily caught you if you ran, or shot you in the back. Has anyone watched Americas Most wanted and seen the survielance video of the cashiers being shot after they gave the money to the robbers??? FOOLPROOF? Never underestimate the power of a fool!
