I work in a warehouse office of an import company in inglewood (los angeles ca). There are two large garage doors on each end of the warehouse we keep open most of the year. Tonight my boss closed them early as it was just us two left and there was no reason to stay. Its an industrial area, and all our neighbors are closed and gone by 5:30. There is nobody left in the area by 6 when we usually leave. I walk out to my girlfriends car im driving while she is in nyc for the week. There is an older model bmw with tinted windows across the street and a few car lengths up from me. It strikes me as odd as there is nobody around, nor any reason to be there. I start the car and check my cell phones voice mail while watching it. Their car starts, and when it passes through my headlights, i see both driver and the front passenger are masked by thin t-shirts or white panty hose. They go a block up, and the passenger bails and quickly walks into an alley between buildings. I can only assume they knew they were spotted and wanted to get the guns out of the car.
If we had stayed later, we both would have had problems. If i had not sat in my car, my boss would have had problems.
As soon as i saw they were masked, i called him to warn him to watch out leaving the building tonight.
I have horrid luck, but every now and then, the cards are dealt in my favor.
Now that is pretty wild.

There may be a time in one's life when one is called upon to defend one's self or family or friends in a deadly situation. It's better to be "packing heat" and never need it than need it and not have it. God forbid that no of us ever have to.
I love the panty-waisted and "know it alls" that tell us "the police will be there to protect you". Remember the "rule of 9's".
99.9% of the time
Police get there
after the crime
Here's another great one........"I'll use my baseball bat"...................
Yeah...........tell me how that worked out after a gang of armed thugs beat the shaZam! out of you/shot you/cut you
raped your wife/girl friend and butt f%&ked your children while high on crack........
We have citizens that are just plain flat ass STUPID.......
Just look at the last Presidential Election............
Liberal flaming in 5.....4.....3.....2.....1...... :laugh:
i've got a bat under the bed. i've actually only picked it up for self defense once. f%$king possum was in the house. i tried to chase him out and the damn thing charged me. little fuckers are quick but i was quicker that night. (i hadn't started drinkin yet. :laugh: )
anyways. that's my useless contribution to this thread.
on a side note, glad to hear you are ok. :thumb: :cheers:

Pistola, And quickdraw practice with targets at odd angles. a little hand to hand never hurt, and a lot of commmon sense. Like some quote i heard somewhere. "Luck only favors the prepared"
You may be a helluva provider, but you should also be a helluve protecter too. Or god forbid, you may have nothign to provide for.
Oh aand thats a general statement with no intended target. Just somethign to ponder for all men who have or want to have a family.
My boss decided that the building doors will be secured at five pm like everything else in the area. Im cool with that.

Your boss is wise.
Time to look for a new job. Gun or no gun, being outnumbered does not put the odds in your favor. ;)
What ya need is an M4 with a 203 mounted. Nothing says 'get the f%$k away' quite like 40mm's of projectile fragmentary explosive.

indeed, for thelongest time, i always carried a deactivated bazooka in my trunk. every time a LEO pulled me over, tis the same set of questions, have you been drijhking, got any guns, knives, drugs, hand grenades or missile launchers we should know about?, ( a standard test. used to judge a persons sobriety. well standard around here and a few other places as well. so i laugh and tell them, yeah, ive got a bazooka in the trunk. wanna see. theyre like f%$king smart ass :laugh: :laugh: , weird thing is, ive ben let out of many o tickets recently. ( course having people with your own last name working for their dept helps alot :nono:. but your boss is wise. im not wsure where you work at? or what teh lay of teh land is like, but id suggest you and the boss, aprk in an easily accessible spot which is quite visible

If only terry, if only :laugh: :laugh:
Yep you can legally get one and the ATF stamp for a M203 is only $5 it is a destructive device/aow of course it'll run you a couple of grand to actually get the greande launcher and shells are about $25 a pop last time I looked.
Oh wait yeah PSRK,(Peoples Socialist Republik of Kalifornia) never mind you can't have one there. Yeah find another state someplace NFA friendly like texas or oklahoma.
there is an assumption of weapons...just reading what was posted it looks more like ones imagination going wild than facts.
