What would you do?

[Remington]

What kind of person are you? What would you do in this situation if given a choice?

Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

A - Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the Glock have an appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun and what kind of message does this send to society and my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion.

B - BANG!

or C - BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click... (sounds of reloading).

Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do you kids think?"

Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it too..."

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click.

Daughter: "Nice group, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips?"

:lol: I thought about option A for the last 15 minutes then decided on option B. LMAO :lol:

[Remington]

I am more of a B person myself. I sometimes wish I could be a C person but I don't think I have it in me. :D

[tt3]

hmm, I'm not so sure about the glock though... maybe a sig sauer .40 nice feel, not so boxy looking, shoots smooth as a ...
oops, I mean, B, yeah, prolly a B
:)

[Remington]

Where I got this said that if you chose A you were a Liberal. If you chose B you were Conservative. If you chose C you were from Texas.... :lol: :lol:

[underfoot]

Where did I get the second child? :)

[G1cajun]

I would choose B. but, maybe a few more shots to make sure I didn't miss. I live in Texas but am originally from Louisiana. We always kept 2 shotguns in the back window of our Pickup when I was a kid. I was never taught to think the A option.

[Remington]

I personally feel the A option would get you and your family killed.

Underfoot, this could mean there is another child coming soon for you... :wink:

[mjknapp]

We always had a gun rack in the back pickup's window too. My dad had a 30-30 and a 12 guage in there all the time. And if you opened the glovebox shells fell everywhere!!

[tt3]

before I was married, I and my now wife made a crossing into Canada (eh!) and the RCMP or is it RMCP anyway asked about firearms explosives and all that, and I said nope.
Get there, open the glove box for something and out pour shotgun shells from the last duck trip! Kinda chuckled about that...

[Remington]

oops! :lol: :lol:

[tt3]

Ah, I've got such an honest, open "talk to me" face that I wasn't worried. I swear sometimes I've got it tatooed on my forehead. Having Tara with only makes it more pronounced!
It would have been a bit prickly if they wanted to search the car though :) :lol:

[Don-Dad]

Remington, where in the heck did you get that one? I hope your not at home making this stuff up. :wink:

Now what if I was a martial arts expert, since he has only a knife I might need option D. Beat the living hell out of the guy!

[Remington]

I am so happy to say I don't make this stuff up. I found it on a website. It actually came out and Liberals would respond this way........... Conservatives this way...... and Texans this way..........

It is pretty silly! :D

[mjknapp]

Yeah, but it is a good topic to get a few laughs on.
