Isn't LadyPact a pro domme? No she isn't, HB. It's always kind of weird for me when regular posters don't know that. I only troll the political forums looking for pointless arguments. Honestly, I didn't mean any offense. I guess it would be great if I had some sort of scary story about a time when I really needed a gun, but I just don't have one. That was all I was saying. When I say I wonder why it has been so different for me, I really wonder that... I'm not saying the entire world is like that and everyone is just being a big baby who needs to grow up. I do have a "scary" story to tell, about a time that I didn't have a gun with me, and I wished I did. In fact, this was one of the reasons I decided to get a CCP. And this story has nothing to do with muggers or thieves. About 18 or 19 years ago a girlfriend and I were out on an evening hike. We reached the turn-around point and were starting back to the car when we met a young lady hiking with her two large dogs. One was a Rottweiler which was large even for that breed, and the other one was an even larger mixed breed. My girlfriend and I were about 5 more minutes along the path when we heard some rather vicious growling coming up behind us really fast. It was the two dogs, running ahead of their owner, and knowing that my girlfriend and I were the only beings out there, we knew they were coming after us. I had a small day pack which I literally ripped off my back to use as a shield between the dogs and myself. I told my girlfriend to stay behind me and start working her way up the hill away from the trail. I was afraid that as the girl got nearer the dogs might become more protective and even more vicious, so wanted to be as far from the trail as possible. The dogs attacked, but fortunately they took turns lunging in and I was able to alternate between one and the other with my backpack. The girl finally passed our location and called to her dogs. Didn't even bother to apologize. We were uninjured, but I was definitely wishing I had more than just a backpack with me that day. And I seriously doubt that any martial arts training would have done a bit of good. It was at about the same time, she and I had gone hiking in a different location. We were about 10 miles from the trail head when we met three very scruffy and disreputable looking "gentlemen" coming down the trail. They made me uneasy, but nothing happened. However, it made me realize just how vulnerable the two of us would have been had the guys had bad intentions. Time has passed. I'm now 65, and have had three back surgeries. I am no longer nearly as fit or as mobile as I used to be. Your "martial arts" idea is pretty much out of the question. And yes, the area I live in is not the best place to live. But it is something I can afford on my SS Disability income. Barely. There is really nothing left to pay to move somewhere else, even if I could afford the rent. Since it seems like such and "easy fix" for you, perhaps you would pitch in and pay for me to relocate? Last summer I heard "voices" outside and when I looked out I saw 5 police cars out in the street. Cops were hiding behind them with their guns drawn and pointing at the house across the street. An officer with a megaphone was telling the occupant to come out with his hands up. He finally did. About two weeks ago I heard more voices. I again looked out my window and saw two officers with a guy bent over the hood of my car as they handcuffed him and frisked him. So maybe I can just move in with you and you can protect me with your martial arts? No? Well, okay. I guess for now I will still rely on my .357.
