Just be careful. I deal with firearms on a daily basis. We are taught not to let anyone within a 4 meter closing distance. Any closer and it's 50/50 how your "gun" battle will turn out. A saavy attacker knows exactly how to get inside that distance and use your own gun against you. Best to just let them take the bike and collect the insurance for another bike. I'm not losing my life for a bike I paid less than $3K for. And I'm not willing to go to jail for snuffing someone stupid enough to steal an inexpensive bike. Joe

I've had an encounter with an intruder. I had to close in on him to make sure.... Middle of the afternoon ! He won't be back. --- On Tue, 10/20/09, jason scott <[email protected]> wrote: From: jason scott <[email protected]> Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Close call today To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, October 20, 2009, 1:22 AM #yiv2100626589 #yiv1826829747 DIV { MARGIN:0px;} i had 2 guys try to steel my magna while i was on it in charleston sc about 18 years ago. they did not get it but they were going to imprison me for 5 to 8 manditor because my pistol is legal on my bike but when i had to pull it out to defend myself it became illegal. they hit me with a uhaul truck in the back but i didnt go down and when i stopped they tried to pull me from my motorcyle. they did nothing to the 2 extremely tan gentlemen if you get my drift. not even a ticket. they just took me to jail for possession of a firearm. come to find out it was election time and cops were told to make gun charges because that was the platform he was running on. i had no priors, hs grad, navy. i went through pti to get out of it. a magistrate told me next time to shoot them and make this statement, "i was attacked, i tried to get away but couldnt, i defended myself". no details. tell cops nothing. fuckem. take me to jail. i now work at a prison and see guys like me all the time. ----- Original Message ----- From: Creative Residential Designs To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 2:55 PM Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Close call today That's only ONE reason that I don't deal with cops unless I have to. They'll sit there and twist up everything that you say too, so I keep it simple. "Yes", "No" and preferably "I want an attorney" will do just fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: stanley/ Randolph To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 19, 2009 10:12 AM Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Close call today Either removing mail or tampering with the mailbox is a federal offense. Sounds like the cops here. They didn't do anything when a friend of mine had a car stolen; told her, when she told them where it was, it would be best if she went and stole it back. She went, with her keys, took it, and the cops questioned her!!! If you were a cop, the perp would be in jail already!!!

(so it drained all the gas out of the tank)Butt print in the dust on the seat.Miss our Nissan by about 1/2 inch. Local police said mine didn't even qualify for criminal mischief because they didn't think the scratched up chrome, the paint nicked off the gas tank and the big dent on the brake qualified. Same police that didn't think having our mailbox blown up with a can of PCV cement was mischief. Is that a federal offense??
