Zombie attack prank what would you have done?

Don't know if I would have shot him... I'm still pretty spry. I definitely would have probably clocked him with something, stick or otherwise. In a previous career as a mall security guard, I saw this behavior a few times. Most of the costumes have tells as to their realism... And since I live in a state with no "Stand Your Ground" and a duty to retreat; shooting him may be excessive.
 
I have been praying that this does not become a trend in stupidity across the nation. To be honest I would have shot the guy.

How about you?


Shooting this guy would probably get you shipped into prison pretty darn quick i.m.h.o.

Would 'I' have shot him?
No, I don't think so.

Personally I would have tried to escape him by running away...
If I could not escape and he kept coming towards me in a threatening manner, I would have emptied my entire canister of pepper spray into his face, eyes and mouth areas.
If the pepper spray failed to stop this nutjob and this dude started trying to 'gnaw' on me, then and only then would I have been prepared to pop a few caps into his zombified a$$.

I play wayyyyy too much zombie games. I definitely wouldve drawn and popped him in the leg first at the very least.

What is it with a group of newer members with this piece of advice? Shooting to wound....where did they learn that?

Ah Texas Dude...I did not expect this reply from you. I guess I misunderstood your goodness. Damn! You're one better than me. I would have shot the bastard. Honest!
 
I would not have drawn on him as he presented no real threat. But I WOULD knock him out. What the hell people, there are no zombies. And one doesn't need to "draw" on everyone who presents a threat. Deadly force is to be used when the IMMINENT threat of deadly force exists or IMMIMENT threat of bodily harm of such magnitude as to assume significant injury would occur.
 
I am in the same position right now, I'll be walking with a cane for another month. At this he very least I would have drawn down on him.
 
What would I have done??? Well it all depends on the political affiliation of the zombie :biggrin:
 
I would have tried to retreat, but would have also been ready to defend myself as needed. Hope someone explained to this guy that he is taking his life in his own hands and is very likely to end up going from undead to dead very quickly.

Exactly right. You retreat if you can--if you cannot you kill him. Any reasonable person could presume an imminent danger of death or great bodily injury when faced with a lunatic--just like the laws in South Carolina ask of me as a CCWP holder.
 
Dressing like a zombie and jumping out to scare people is one thing. He was chasing after them. If you come after me like that I will back away as quickly as I can and let you know exactly what's going to happen if you don't get the hell away from me, especially if my kids are with me. If you keep coming my gun is definitely coming out of its holster so you can see it. If you still don't stop you're getting shot.

I know people do stupid things sometimes and I will put up with a good bit of it but as I get older my tolerance for morons like that gets lower.
 
I would have done what a wild elephant does. One fake charge straight at him. If that gives him pause, then I know he's not a brainless zombie, just a brainless dumba**. If that didn't work, draw & fire. The fake charge was his only warning. He doesn't get to enjoy any other show of force. Just the muzzle flash.

Have you seen the news lately? I'm pretty sure we all know there are no zombies, but there are more than enough crazies and junkies out of control out there that this behavior should be considered an imminent threat, specially if being pursued. At least that is how I look at it. Like I said in my previous post, I would attempt to retreat, but would be ready to fire to protect myself or my family.

You can't fix stupid, but he might get it shot out of him due to his behavior. What on earth makes him think it is acceptable to scare innocent strangers like that?

I live in a state with no formal self defense law.

If it was really a zombie would it matter whether I would or kill? When I cap it in the knee and it turns out to be an idiot in costume, I'd probably spend a lot less time in prison than I would if I killed him. Don't be so gung-ho to kill right away.

Please, seek some self defense training from an accredited instructor as soon as possible.

The Title of the Video is Wrong It Should read where it took place and that would Boyington Beach, Florida. If it was done in Miami-Dade,Florida, he would have been dead from multiable perforations thruout his body.

You mean something resulting from the likes of a highly technical projectile dispenser?
 
Seeya and SR40c -- your terminologies are so deep I don't understand what you mean.:lol: OK...gotta go and find those words in the dictionary...:smile: Speak English, will you? :yes4:

Nice. You cap him in the knee, guess who would be responsible for his doctor bills for the rest of HIS life?

Not sure I would have shot but the sight of my gun sure would have given him pause. These old knees don't carry me very far very fast these days.
