[QUOTE="DSUFLYBOY, post: 3501135, member: 45043"] I worked in the Gulf of Mexico on oil rigs to save the money to finish college and flight school. One late night driving home through Louisiana after crew change I stopped at a 2 pump gas station out in the sticks. I filled up and went to the door to go in and pee. There was a group of thugs milling around I kept my eye on. The attendant was from India and told me no one gets in past 10 PM. I told him I would pee on the door of he didn't let me in. He reluctantly did, I drained it and bought a coke and candy bar for the road. I stepped out, stopped, looked to my right at the group, nodded and walked to my car. Half way there a skinny white guy with sores on his lips walks after me saying " Hey, you gots some money white boy?" I tell him no and back off. He advances faster and reaches into his pocket and pulls out an old Buck folding knife while saying, "Iz knows yo cracker ass gotz sum money, give it to me." During this time in my life I shot in IPSC whenever I was on shore. So in the second it took him to look down to open the lock back blade, I did a draw, aimed, and screamed "FREEZE!" so fast it was really scary to my conscious mind. Now three things happened in the next 3 seconds. 1: The brothers standing near the door ran around the corner of the building so fast, two of them lost their Air Jordan sneakers like rooster tails. 2: The Indian attendant looked out the window, shook his head in disgust, and lowered himself slowly behind counter like he had seen this many times before. 3: The skinny white crackhead stopped opening the blade about half way through, looked up and into the barrel of a stainless 1911 .45, his eyes got as big as saucers, he let the blade go with a snap, and said "Oh......****......my bad bossman.......I was just playing." I told him not to move, kept him covered, walked to my car, got it, cranked up, put her in first WHILE still covering him through the windshield and got the F out of dodge. Five or so miles down the road the adrenaline dump was drying up and I thought to myself, "Damn, that's only the second time I have drawn on anyone, with my luck his daddy was probably the damn sheriff or town judge, if I had dropped him, my out of town ass would be locked up in a coon ass jail for life! The rest of the way home was uneventful, but I still have dreams about that event from time to time. "Watch your six, count your rounds, and keep your powder dry." [/QUOTE]
