CasopoliS Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 i go to gmr regularly..and i think i have some info on what happened!! I have a ford probe gt,,,,I meet you once so if i see you get at me. But Ironically the next day i found a New Pellet gun package on the ground!!! It was a real looking gun too i have the instruction book and all...So just a heads up..I heard it was a dude in a black civic!! what? So you think he was held up with a pellet gun because you found the box to a pellet gun the next day? Please provide more details. you need to clarify yourself. EDIT: I took out my oddball comments, I was in a weird mood... sorry all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busski Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 That's just not funny. Don't mean to be a jerk, but semi-racist jokes don't play so well with me. Please dial it down. -c- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busski Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 The letter is finalized. I will be sending out today. Can I send you a word doc. with all of my contact information? -Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I did not say they could not have held him up with a pellet gun. Chances are they did... or those new replica air guns that look very real. I was just trying to say that the box could have been from anything or anyone, but yes I guess it could be linked to the car jacking. I did not mean harm by my comment, I honestly was just trying to make sense of the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CobaltForge Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 You did the right thing Bayano, better safe than sorry. And yes, regardless of whether it was a real gun or a pellet gun, they will still be charged like it was a real weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4boxparts Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 No reason to second guess. Those damn pellet guns look real. Especially at night. I woulda done what you did. Not worth risking your life over a car. Just good to see that you are safe and in good spirits. Those fools will get what's coming to them. Karma is a bitch!!You did the right thing Bayano, better safe than sorry. And yes, regardless of whether it was a real gun or a pellet gun, they will still be charged like it was a real weapon.

AWD_Rules3830 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 And if SOA doesn't help out, maybe we could take up a collection towards a SIG P239? Damn, that is a sexy gun. After hearing all this, im debating whether i need to put a firearm in the car. My dad carries a Walther PPK in his truck (james bond's gun baby ) at all times. Soo well see. I love my car ... basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panamajack Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 Roll deep. I usually do, but I went on a whim and got caught slippin. I think they really just wanted the Integra, but I was in the way. Stay away from Hondas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Here's the deal on CCW's in California. If you are in most metropolitan areas, forget it. Orange County is the only big county that will sign off on CCW. Most city PD will not sign off on a CCW. However many County Sheriffs will sign off on a CCW. You still need to go to your local PD first. Many counties in California will issue CCW. Some Sheriffs have a Shall-issue policy. Which is, if you live in that county and apply for a permit after taking a CCW class, a CCW will be issued to you. As far as the use of deadly force, which included brandishing your gun, California's law basically states you can only use the same amount of force that the bad guy is using. If a guy attacks you by bitch slapping you, you cannot shoot him or even draw your weapon. All you can do is bitch slap him back. If someone threatens to kill you with a gun, then you can shoot him. Of course if you decide to use a gun, you absolutely must make sure the guy doesn't live to tell his side of the story. While property can always be replaced, you never know what the bad guy is going to do. Many people have been shot in a car jack even though they fully cooperated. A CCW without the proper training and the right mindset is useless also. The moment you decide to use deadly force on an armed attacker, you have less than 2 seconds to draw the gun and shoot the attacker. Any hesitation or second thoughts will result in you getting shot. The first rule in using deadly force is don't put yourself in a situation where you need to resort to deadly force. Your instincts are usually right. If something doesn't seem right, get the hell out of dodge. It also gives you a really good excuse to practice e-brake U turns and J turns.

elpete77 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I was under the impression that you can use deadly force only to protect your life, not to protect property. One exception is arson (someone trying to set an occupied building on fire). You have to have a very good case that your life was in jeopardy to warrant the use of deadly force, and that includes shooting the perp in the foot or shoulder (like you are just winging him). Your life can be threatened by a baseball bat, a knife, I've even heard of a guy robbing places with a syringe he said was infected with HIV, that was considered assault with a deadly weapon in his trial (he is currently being raped in prison). Of course, I'm not an attorney, and I don't even play one on TV, so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
