What caliber gun do you carry? (Read 1836 times)


Feeling the growl again

     I also had some 155mm pieces at my disposal,  

     

     

    **sigh**

     

    And to think I would be ecstatic if I built a chicken cannon or trebuche on my property...

      What is a phone booth?

       

       

      I'm sure my kids will ask me the same question if I said that in a few years.

        Guns make it easier.

        Esp if the caliber involved is 155mm.

        It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

          And not your wardrobe?

            2 years ago I was attacked while running pre-dawn.  Drugged up guys used their vehicle to chase my running buddy and me into the woods.  They spent 20 minutes looking for us.  Yelling.  Cursing.  It was very dangerous.  I quietly called 911 but it took them too long to respond to catch them.

             

            Now I run with pepper spray in addition to my cell phone.

             

            Would pepper spray have helped?

                    I used to run there as my in-laws lived on the Inner Harbor for a few years.  As nice as that area is, the local paper had an article then that said 8 or the 10 most dangerous corners were within 1 mile of the Inner Harbor.  So I stuck to there and the road out to Fort McHenry where I'd run loops when it was open.

                     

                    I ran from there to John Hopkins exactly ONCE.  One of the scariest places I ever ran.  Did you know the cops there lock themselves in bulletproof phone booths while on duty?

                     

                    If you can get past the stadiums and a bit southwest toward the freeway (it's not quite so ghetto if you peel right around Camden Yards and not through the neighborhoods) there is a decent trail that goes for miles out to the west, and has always been safe when I was there.

                     

                    Other than those few locations, I would never run anywhere in Baltimore.

                    I chose to run on the hotel treadmill after that one run. I ran from University hospital down to Carrol Park and it wasn't pretty. The treadmill was pretty appealing after that.

                    I don't half-ass anything

                          That's some treadmill.

                           

                          You don't need to run if you have one of those.  Everybody else does.

                            This thread makes me extremely happy to run in AVL.  I've run through pretty much the entire town and never felt particularly unsafe.

                              I always thought it was the bullets.
