[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Have I ever been in a potentially fatal situation? Yes definitely once, and close to it several other times. In all cases the problems were resolved withoutr gunfire, but in the most dangerous case both brute physical force and weaponry were involved. Recently, we've had thieves on our property, stealing, of all things, wood siding. They might have stolen more, if they had made it to the house. My father and I came home and caught them in their pickup in the driveway. Unfortunately, their pickup was faster than my dad's giant SUV, and they got away. Decided it wasn't worth firing at them after old barn lumber that was starting to rot anyway, (see, JeffK, ther ARE some things that even I think aren't worth killing for [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] ) despite the obvious benefit to evolution their demise would have secured. I've been in a number of physical altercations, many of which were due to my open expression of a lack of (and occasional sharp derision of people who have) religious faith. And in my last year of college I faced off against a guy who was stalking a female friend of mine. He was 6'4 and about 250, and armed with a baseball bat. I'm 6', was a scrawny 170, had no weapon at all, and in the first few moments of the altercation, I got tossed down a flight of stairs. Fortunately, speed, intelligence, 'frenzy' and a huge amount of luck was enough in this case to overcome strength, size and weaponry. But my arms were good for nothing for a week, and the rest of me was pretty banged up as well. So what's the followup question, exactly? [/QB][/QUOTE]
