almost had to discharge my firearm in defence of life

You should have pistol whipped the dip**** to a bloody heap on the floor...
Then stood over him while he was fading in and out of consciousnesses, and told him next time you are going to threaten someone with death, make damn sure you 1) do it, and 2) they are not more prepared to give it than you are...

Course, I am NOT a Lawyer, nor am I a LEO, and the above might not really be that good of a direction to take the event either...

He's probably the same kind of guy that rides with a bandana and no helmet... it'll come around.

what does this have to do with anything? the bandanna still serves a purpose and helmets arent required here in indiana.

but to the op im glad you didnt have to use any kind of force with the guy

 

[MikeDVB]

What shop do you work at (if you don't mind). I frequent most of the shops in the Indy area as I'm always working on bikes lol.

 

[Birdman002]

Glad you didnt have to make that decision but none the less props for keeping your cool and doing the right thing, but as others have said, you do need to rethink your carry situation.
My buddy mentioned kinda the same thing I have a 1911 and for a while i was leary about carrying locked and loaded (first gun, first time carrying) untill he brought up the you wont have time to chamber a round etc etc, but look into pocket holsters or something, or even an ankle holster.

I'm glad you didn't have to shoot him, but it sounds like he'd have it coming.

Hopefully the organs wasted on him will be usable for someone worthwhile.

I have always carried one in the chamber but I haven't found a pocket holster that makes me comfortable with this gun at work, I have a pocket holster that is fine for use outside of work but when I tried it at work the gun would work it's way out.

not to thread jack, but how long have you worked there?? I bought my bike from randy way back in the day right after the store moved from lynhurst.

In the proper holster, it will not stick out like a sore thumb. My LCP doesn't. Desantis Nemisis works great. Glad it turned out well.

The pocket holster I have is 2 or 3 years,I will look into a Desantis Nemisis, thanks

A little over 13 months....BTW we have really good tire prices

I carry a LCP everyday in an office setting with dress pants. Here is another quality pocket holster that works very well: Pocket Holster - Tucker Gun Leather Store. A little pricey, but its hand made and allows clear draws easily. I'd be on the lookout for a return visit from him. Glad things turned out ok for you; in the end, thats what matters.

Then we've talked before, haha. You guys dyno'd my 94 GSX-R 750 a while back.

Exactly my thoughts on the situation. People who bully their way through life should taste a bit of this medicine from time to time. Pain is a great teaching method and the only one these tools understand.

You are right. Probably not the best way to go.

 

[cobber]

Did the police check if he had a gun in his car?
Did he get in trouble for that (maybe carrying a handgun without a LTCH and the threat of getting his gun)?

If he 'just' got out of the pen, his possession of a firearm could have been a violation of federal and/or state law. Oopsy.

He should have been charged with intimidation, at least. Revoke his probation/parole. A learning moment for him.

Well if he comes back with anything but a smile I have my AK47 at my desk....

 

[pack-indy]

^ That will get his attention

 

[Roadie]

Glad everything turned out OK bud..

I bet one of the holster makers here on INGO, (like Hooch Holsters) could make you something similar to this for a pretty reasonable price.

 

[BDBHoover]

The action on a Mossberg 500 or Remington 870 is good for making someone reconsider their actions in any scenario... Glad everything worked out okay and like stated up thread, be on the look out for a return visit.... Good Luck

 

[thebishopp]

They did not check, even after I insisted they didn't and before I could protest again the guy started acting up so their attention turned to him.

In the end I'm sure that he has bullied people to get his way in the past and I'm sure he that didn't expect my responce to his threat.

If you had been an LEO then the SWAT team probably would have come out and raided his truck lol Just kidding (reference to another thread).

But in all seriousness. He made some pretty serious threats (what with the whole "get my gun I'm going back to then pen" statement. I'm surprised that at the very least they did not check out his truck. Sounds like a report of intimidation or some sort of terroristic threatening charge (not sure what the IN version is) should have been done.

As far a holsters go as others have posted there are a couple good options that would allow you to carry with a round chambered.
