You live in a fantasy world. Like I said before I'm not trying to be a troll, I'm just bewildered at your take on things. You somehow bring this all on yourself. Like someone else said most people out of high school never have an issue, you've had 5 by 23. Like I said before I've lived in bad areas too but everyone wasn't a trained ninja assassin chasing helpless victims around before calling the cops on the people they were chasing. My honest, I'm not trying to be a jerk off opinion...leave your gun at home. You will end up doing life in jail
1) situation, a bar owner (friend of the family, 52 year old man very nice) was kicking 5 punks out of his bar who was stealing beer and they attacked him... i stepped in and told them to leave, they then attacked me... 4 one 1... luckly i came out on top
2)a few gang members were in a nice bar down the street from my house... why they were there idk... while walking to my truck outside in the parking lot a fight was breaking out, the leader of the fight saw me and wanted to fight me... one of the bartenders got in between us telling me you dont know who he or his family is... i told her im a black belt, its best if you go call the police... the gang member then went to his car, and came back towards me and pulled a knife at the last minute. I was drinking so did not have my sidearm but was armed with pepper spray in my left hand and a kabar tdi on my right side... luckly for either of us, his friend pulled him back at the last minute, got him in the car and drove off
3) Cincinnati has downtown fireworks everyyear for labor day... we were at a hotel party and myself, 2 friends, and one of there girlfriends was leaving... while walking outside a group of 9 "homboys" was outside and bumped into my friend... then they pushed him on the ground and the 9 of them began to attaack the 3 of us... thanks to there 2 MMA training and my taekwondo training, we were able to fight them off
4) I was at a college house party, prior CCW... somebody who was there was drunk and beligernt and began pushing me telling me to leave... i said thats fine man im out of here... called over for my two buddies jake and shawn.. said saddle up its time to go... NOW!!!... the man kept pushing me... i told him your not going to hit me again... as he went to hit me i swept his leg and put him on the ground... a manuever that didnt cause any permant injury but allowed me time to retreat to my truck and drive off... on the way to the truck 3 of his friends came at me throwing punches... i was armed with pepper spray that night that stopped 3 of them...
5) Pre CCW, i was 17 years old, still living at home, and my mom was being attacked by another woman... i ran over to pull her back into the yard adn get her away from the attack... while pulling her, the other womans 22 year old son, hit me in the head with one punch, busting it open requiring stitches and a severe concusion.
the truth is is that cincinnati is a rough place to live and its only getting worse...people around here dont believe in calling the police but settling things my fighting... some of my previous friends are guilty of it as well as having a short temper.. i know longer hang with them becauase of it... but i have 8 grand in credit card and loan debit, and now 3 more for a lawyer.. im trying to save up for a house outside of the cincinnati city limit but for now i make the best of what i have and work as much as i can to get out of this city.
Im not a tough guy one bit... i dont try to be and yes i was scared to death during my 25 hours in jail... I thought the people in my neighborhood was bad... the people down in lock up are 5 times worse... talking about putting money on peoples head, and raping bitches, and cutting people up... it was scary...i stay out of there neighborhoods... but thats exactly why you need to have the right to defend yourself
