Offworlder1 09/02/17 5:32:34 PM #11:	@Garioshi She lives in a good part of the city but we had to walk through a rough part of town as a street and walkway was closed off. I did not own or have a car nor my driver's license yet so we were on foot. She also did not have any guns at the time only me, but I was not going to be risking either of us. We were going back to her place after a party/event and it was 1 am so it was not exactly a good time to be in certain areas. --- "Always two there are, a master and an apprentice" <cite>Offworlder1 posted [p:885911141] in Gun owners...

Offworlder1 09/02/17 5:47:27 PM #14:	@Bullet_Wing Yes she did, "glad to be alive sex", it was very enjoyable and that also was the night she became firmly "pro gun" as she was not sure if a gun was needed to keep safe before that. I am just glad I did not have to kill anyone, and very glad she was safe cause there was a moment one of them seemed like he was going to test my willingness to shoot. --- "Always two there are, a master and an apprentice" <cite>Offworlder1 posted [p:885911844] in Gun owners...

Offworlder1 09/02/17 6:08:07 PM #17:	@Bullet_Wing One huge reason I hate gun control advacates is because if there was strict gun control my situation would have ended in robbery, her raped, and possibly both of us dead. One person I told what happened said "well if you did not go to the party/event you would not have been in that situation", and the "you don't know for sure what that gang would do to you if you just gave them your valubles and did not resist at all". The jackass even has the audacity to say "if you did have to shoot I bet you would feel guilty at taking a life of a person who might not have been all that bad". The asshole felt that me killing one or more of them would have been more wrong then them raping her. Took all my restraint to not beat the crap out of him for the bs he said. --- "Always two there are, a master and an apprentice" <cite>Offworlder1 posted [p:885912845] in Gun owners...
