My grand father used to say "I stopped believing in tough guys back when I stopped believing in sanata claus, theres just no suck thing" ... I am by no means a bad ***, lol.
When I was a bit younger and playing "joe boxer" as a way of getting exercise (everyone over here boxes, its like karate classes on the west coast) I thought nothing of "over defending" myself BUT, I don't want anyone to ever sue me again, I got in a bit of a scuffle a lil while ago, over non sense, I will share the story---

We are at an engagement party, my wife out of no where comes up to me and grabs my arm says "lets go", so i am like "WHATS WRONG", then an old friend of ours is like "IM WHATS WRONG, YOUR WIFE DOESNT KNOW WHEN TO MIND HER OWN BUSINESS" BLAH BLAH BLAH, my wifes cousin married this guy and divorced him 2 years before this, turns out my wife said to her cousin "its about time" back then after the divorce (not nice, but women say stuff like that, she was trying to make her cousin feel better), well she told him and that rubbed him wrong and now he had a couple drinks and got the courage to tell her it bothered him, in all the wrong ways..

So I say "relax, lets all get along, its a party", he walks over like hes going to shake my hand and punches me in the face!!!! Nice right?, so what ever happens next, I was sober, so do the math, lol.. fast forward past the violence, cops come, ambulance comes and I dont get arrested, no charges, its over right? NOPE, I get arrested a week later, call a lawyer, the da's office wants nothing to do with it, so it is dismissed, not disposed, actually thrown out.. So its all over right? NOPE, civil suit, my lawyer says "this may not end well, these are tough cases"... Sure as sh!t $38K and $10K in lawyers, just because I had it... I admit its all my fault, I had 3 simple assaults on my record at the time (NOW I had them expunged, never seen the need before) and my lawyer said we need to counter sue, and do this and that, and its going to be an extra $5K, and I was like, "no way", well with no counter suit and because I wasn't proactive about everything, I looked guilty, had witnesses saying he was the aggressor, but he had lost wages, medical bills, photos of him looking all hurt and innocent.. SUCKED, not just the money, just knowing he got it, he was actually suing me for $500K, lol... so under $40K aint' too bad, and his medical bills were right around $30K so the lawyer go the rest, although I was told he never paid the hospital bills, who cares...

BUT, that is my story why its NOT worth being a "BAD ***" or "TOUGH GUY", not only did I get punched in the face, spill my sangria (I KNOW, it was either that or canned beer), rip my shirt, scuff my shoes, and break a pair of glasses that were on my head, BUT I lost almost $50K, and at least 6 days wasted, and countless hours of talking about it with everyone... SO now, I just stay quiet, you wanna punch me in the face go ahead, but be warned, when the doctor says I have 30 days to live, you are going to have 29....

Yes, he is a Weimaraner. I had a male and female Weim that were put down last year after they got liver cancer (she was 8 and he was 10). The puppy is 10 weeks old and seems to be on the small side so far as my male was 100 pounds in his prime. My wife wanted another so we picked him up on 11/22/15. I named him Geist.

I keep my guns in a safe but I just picked up my early warning. View attachment 293721

Holy Cwap . . . ( spelled that way on purpose )

That is the "cutest" darn early warning system that I've seen in a long time ! ! ! Ant those are some big paws too ! !

Jeezz seventy, that sucked all the way around. I hope to God I do not get into anymore scuffles, i'm getting to old and stiff that that sort of action. I'd very likely get the crap beat out of me. Be 58 on Thanksgiving.

I conceal carry. When people get upset about it I tell them if I hear gunfire I am running toward it, not away from it. I will try to save innocent lives. If an stupid C*** S***** opens up on a room of people around me I'm going to try to take them down.

I have to make a point Seventy made he said : "Heres the truth, if our military comes for us, door to door, am I going to bang it out with them on the lawn with machine guns? I doubt it, I don't care how many guns you have, you are NOT holding off an army"

I think that when the real fighting breaks out small arms will not do much good. If the military comes in taking grid by grid its gonna be over quick.
If it gets to zombie apocalypse level by this time nukes have went off and nuclear power plants are burning. The air would be toxic.
You would have to be dug in deep with a sustainable environment probably way out somewhere where the buses don't run.
Now if you live in the city you may have to fight your way out with someone at each window of the classic mopar with weapons and a nerves of steel driver.
I'll drive if you need someone. I should probably practice a bit just let me know when you have the car gassed up..

Yah' it was quite the situation, one of them "why did I leave the house?" days... BUT you live and learn, I try to learn form older gentleman, I do my best to anyway, and after all that happened I told the story to a friend of my fathers who lived the "mans life", steel worker from worcester mass, bad *** biker, made of steel himself, about my height (6-5"ish), and you could tell he he worked with his hands his entire life, probably like most of you guys and my hands, "big, scarred, and hard..." The conversation started "hey pup (called me that all my life) your ol' man told me you got some trouble", and i told hi the entire event, NOW heres his exact words, after not showing any emotion through the entire story----
"guy fights you, he figures he wins either way, you tune em up, he sues you, dont hurt his pride cause your you / he wins, he feels good about besting a big boy... WIN WIN, only card you got is your shoulder, turn that thing away from him, but before you do, smile and give him a wink, no shame in walking away, took me my entire life to learn it, hopefully ou got your lesson early"... And I did, now short of someone hurting my family, I am not getting violent, If i had to do that over, I would have taken the punch, smiled, blew him a kiss, and walked away, it did hurt much at all, I hit myself harder by accident all the time, yesterday hooking up a compressor in my garage, I hit the valve with my foot and the tank had 175psi in it and an open hose on it, it slapped me in the side of the head so hard I seen stars, still all red and welted, I look like I just woke up from sleeping on a piece of angle iron....

SO long story short, I learned an expensive lesson, if its just words, walk away with a smile, I have nothing to prove at this point, should have had nothing to prove back then, BUT I was even DUMMA' then I am now, then, lol.. AND being brutally honest to myself, I went to far, even the cop said it that night, and its the reason I lost in court, NO MATTER HOW MAD YOU ARE, when someones sleeping, stop hitting them, he was out after the first 2 strikes, I probably touched him 30 times after that, I had 90lbs on him (also didnt help me in court), I had a boxing card, I had previous assault charges, the judge/mediator told me "if I had kicked him after he fell to the ground, that would have been assault with deadly weapon/ felony assault and I would have had a lot more of a problem, I was wondering why the cops were asking the witnesses if I kicked him, he was sleeping so would not have know either way... I was in a daze when it happened, I remember thinking "Why isnt anyone stopping me" but then after realizing me and him were about the only "guys" there besides 2 others that were in the driveway and only coming running when they heard screaming...

The good thing is, he stays clear of me and my family, and NOW thinking back, I think what he got in "money" was very little, 2 of his ribs was removed because the fractures were so severe they were worried about them poking an organ. He had no insurance... I have NOT spoke to him since, we were friends before... live and learn...

ANYWAY, water under the bridge...

I am sorry to hear about your other 2 guys', he seems a good size, mine only got to around 70 lbs for my males and 60 for females, largest one I ever seen (with no lab mixed in) was 90ish... They are the cutest puppies though, with them light eyes, they win your heart and its a good thing because they can be testing at times, but its worth it... My guy is right here right now, we just came in from outside he has his head on my foot, sleeping, JUST in case I go anywhere he don't wanna miss it. He gets nervous when I am out of sight, lol, UNLESS my wife is home, then he is hanging out with her, I am his master he is hers, lol, he wants extra foodd, he goes and gets his dish and knocks it on the counter we keep their food under... If you go in the bathroom and he was too slow to get in before you shut the door, you hear him slide down the door and plop on the floor waiting for you to come out, lol... I love them, good luck with that little guy, he is perfect....

this is at 8 weeks (other pics were parents)... picture seems so long ago, but its only a decade-ish, lol, life was much more simple back then, working a lot harder but just simple and quiet, we lived in a basic home, kids were so innocent, no time to overthink anything because I had something else to do. WE HAVE LOTS to be thankful for, and my past is one of them, not many regrets... That was our living room, 12x15, my master bathroom is 50% larger than that now, if you add up 4+ bathrooms in this house its more sq feet than that entire house!!!! I miss simple and cozy, I really do, but I am thankful my kids get to live how I could only dream of when I was a kid...

Hey Seventy, my B day comes around on Turkey day about every 5-7 years or so, here's the years coming up... November 26th : 2015, 2020, 2026, 2037, 2043, 2048, 2054, 2065, 2071, 2076, 2082, 2093, 2099

On the other subject, my Dad was the tri county boxing champ for a couple of years in the mid 60's and he taught all six of us how to box, among other things. He always said though that if you resort to using your fists on somebody then you already lost. He said to disengage your mouth, reengage your brain, and use that to win the day, not your fists. On the other hand he also said that he was teaching us to box so we could defend ourselves and our friends or loved ones. He said the trick is to know when to use your head and when to use your hands. Said if somebody attacks us to let them get at least two licks in before tearing down their house. Witnesses also help, lol. The thing about using your fists though, is you have to practice a lot, it's more about having the wind and the stamina because adrenaline will suck it right out of you.
