Someone Made a Run at Me Today

[Coach]

Preach the 4 Rules to the target? No, but I made sure my beaten zone was clear as one does.

Four Rules always apply, especially in a Walmart parking lot where other INGO members or their spouses may be loading groceries.

Amen. Great handling of the situation and glad that you are ok.

I agree, what if he was a 3 Rules guy and this pushed him over the edge?!
Glad you are okay, Kirk!

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Could be. He found me "insulting" by obeying the Four Rules in a fight because one is supposed to spray lead all over like one's beard tells him to.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Well, maybe he was supposed to leave a note or say something along with it? We'll never know, but it's fun fertilizing the completely unfounded conspiracy hypothesis!

Those with the guys with the dark brown uniforms and the five pointed badges.

Look, I want the people intimidating me for doing completely legal freedom of information act requests to at least have a doctorate in something.

 

[Mark 1911]

Good reminder about situational awareness. Glad you're ok!

Maybe this is MRAP related?

I like the cut of your jib, young man.

Rumor has it, that same phrase was used in the bathroom encounter.

Allegedly.

Was that before or after they raised the Blue Peter?

I must be doing it wrong....the only thing mine ever tells me to do is.... shave.

How would you describe the "predator shuffle"?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

How would you describe the "predator shuffle"?

The bridge transition step between jog and run or run and sprint.

They lean forward, lock eyes on target and keep their feet under them to keep the noise down (like a glide), arms are frozen near the waist.

You may have seen it in football as it is similar to an outside linebacker (on 3/4 defense) on blitz.

I believe that would be more properly called a scurry, a term that connotes bad intentions as well as the physicality you described.

 

[jbombelli]

Huh. I always called it the Thug Charge.

 

[Tyler-The-Piker]

All in all it seems like your extensive training helped you practice remarkable restraint.
I see an Otis Toole looking guy doing the predator shuffle towards me? Talk about spidey senses tingling...and hand on grip while I'm dodging and weaving with the jeep

Haha nice.

But...but paleontology bc he's *drumroll* digging stuff up :P

"The more they train, the less they shoot."

Clinton A. Smith, Director, Thunder Ranch

How many "good guy" citizens or coppers have been in trouble for fear biting? How many cyberpages can we fill up on INGO on fear biting shooting.

One trains to give one confidence, in his weapons, and above all, in himself. Confidence and knowledge kill fear. Fear leads to jail and prison or death.

Discipline allows one to train. Discipline is always the missing component in the gun culture. Thus we have endless debates about things like how cool it is to wave guns about like pom poms or jump up and down on guns. It is this lack of discipline that leads to the self being unable to defeat the self and thus to allowing fear to run rampant.

Train to defeat yourself and you shall be invincible.
