Been "swarmed" yet?

And that was in Texas, home of the armed and the polite.
As in "An armed society is a polite society".;)Glad you made it out OK Linuss.

Thanks

I was about to open up a can of kick-butt on him, but didn't feel like getting my clothes dirty before class. :P

Fixed it for you!
 
I know how to wield a stethoscope as a weapon, thank you very much!

Flailing it around while squealing and hoping to hit them does not constitute using it as a weapon

Linus squeals like little girl?:rolleyes:
 
The squealing is meant to distract them!

Leave me alone!
 
If you get the pitch high enough, they will run!
 
I've never had that happen, but I've heard horror stories. I'm usually pretty good at getting people to calm down, so I'd be very worried if a crowd started forming and getting angry. I'd either take the patient and run, or have to call some help.

And as much as I like pistols, no way I'd take one into that situation.
 
Ahem....CV following.

Three years street EMT, twenty plus years working with law enforcement, multiple colleagues likewise employed but as sworn officers, as well as twenty-two years in USAF and Guard. Qualified in M-9 and M-16, with accompanying LOAC and Lethal Force training.

Linuss, don't take offense except maybe to make a chivalrous defense of the proud state and former contry (like California) of Texas. And I can show you how to wield your 'scope as a blinding whirr of tubing and tips, I calls 'em " 'Scope-chuks".:ph34r:

Answer to increasing hostility on scene is snatch and run, and if they want their cousin or sister or whomever, let 'em have that pt.
 
"Linuss, don't take offense except maybe to make a chivalrous defense of the proud state and former contry (like California)"

Wait. What would I take offense about? Was I insulted?


Ps- I'm not a Texan. I'm a Michigander living in Texas :)
 
Well, nope, only a native son of Texas would look to whup me

for noting that guin carrying states have no per capita improvement in violent crime statistics.
(Hey, if I can spend the middle decade of my life in Nebraska from CA, then Texas isn't all that out of the question.)

But we were talking about civilian use of wireless commo to initiate their escape from LE, or to punish someone.
 
Don't get me wrong, I'm still pro-carry and in 2 weeks when I turn 21, I plan on taking a CCW class, even thought I don't plan to carry.
 
The radio is mightier than the weapon

'cause you can call in so many, many MORE weapons.
 
I'll take both thank you. And even throw a phone in there.

When it comes down to me left alone with no way out and help is still not there and my life is actually at risk, I want some option rather than just death. Perhaps the firearm wakes them up or at least buys time for the calvary to get there.

Or maybe it just gives them a reason to kill you faster. And if they had any reason not to kill you before, those are now gone.

Between 1995 and 2004, handgun murders in Texas dropped by 18 percent. Gun owners proved to be much less likely than their peers to be arrested for non-violent crimes and violent crimes, including murder. And even though Texas (in 2004) had a population three million larger than when the bill was passed, the overall crime rate was lower in 2004-5,032 crimes per 100,000 Texans, as opposed to 5,478 crimes per 100,000.

The firearm is never pulled until life is threatened. They are intent on killing you at least you have a fighting chance if armed. Pulling the gun is not giving them reason to kill hopefully it gives them reason to pause long enough for help to get there.
