I am trying to respond to your question about ...Hi<br /><br />I am trying to respond to your question about owning a firearm and "I was wondering if you ever had to use it." in self defense. I will simply point you to the Armed Citizen web site where you can read countless self defense stories from around the nation. Check it out at http://www.thearmedcitizen.com/.<br /><br />Personally I have been a security officer for 7 years now, sometimes I worked armed and others not. One story I could relate to you without violating the privacy of the parties involved, is when I was on patrol one night and as I was on patrol, rounding a corner, I started to hear some whimpering screams. Apparently a rapist was in the process of raping a victim, and he had the victim’s mouth sealed with one of his hands as the victim struggled with the rapist. I heard the victim's muffled screams and I shone my flashlight near the victim and the rapist panning towards their position. I finally arrested the rapist, at gun point I told his to release the victim, roll on the ground and face down. He complied; the victim shuffled away from him, grabbed her belongings and sat behind me leaning on a tree. I radioed control and asked for Police assistant and in a matter of minutes they arrived. One office attended to the rapist and one asked me to lower my Ruger P345 .45ACP cal, and I did as asked. The officer approached me and stated that this is standard procedure and that he wanted to check things. I complied and was hand cuffed and my weapon was confiscated. When the victim, IDed the rapist I was let go after I showed them my credentials, permits and my weapon was returned after I showed them my ID. I had to testify in court and that was fun too.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03547625912161735743noreply@blogger.com
