Knockout game - punched after admitting to being unarmed

[AntiGun]

A man in Florida was approached and asked if he had a Glock. He said no and the teen started punching him. He fought back with a pocket knife.

The assailants actually thought ahead of time to ask about a gun. They were worried about immediate consequences like death.
Stand your ground and the Martin-Zimmerman case probably had an effect on these 'misguided' youths.

Ahh, but the teen had no gun, and expertz think I shouldn't be allowed to shoot till my brains are falling out.

It is a shame the knife wasn't used to educate one of them.

Exactly. I keep mine razor sharp.

But would they have not sucker punched him if he had said, "yes?"

Or would they still have punched him and tried to take his firearm?

Constant vigilance.

I never answer these people... but then again when I'm carrying I'm concealed pretty good so no one asks. Not even the cops.

 

[gamer_jim]

This was going to be his last assault. He was enrolled in school and about to turn his life around...I'm sure.

They must not have any rec centers or basketball courts or anything else for the "bored youth" to do there.

4 youth approach, I'm on edge.

Ask if I'm armed, I'm planning counters and best strategies for survival. Mine, not theirs.


There is a strategy of overwhelmingly violent action used when attacked by superior numbers. It's one that has been proven effective in the past. Just say'n.

Too bad the guy said no to the Glock question, because he had a S&W.

[Yellowhand]

Too bad the victim wasn't able to gut the youngster after being assaulted...

 

[Blacksmith101]

Too bad the victim wasn't able to gut the youngster after being assaulted...

Or at least castrate them.

Here is a case of a man successfully defending himself against the knockout game with a knife.

Constant vigilance.

This was my first thought....

Beat me to the punch.

Rabid dogs, Atticus Finch .......

Ray, when someone asks you if you're a god, you say "YES"!

Actually, it seems there may have been no good way out of this for the guy.

At least it didn't turn out any worse.

This is actually a brilliant guerilla-marketing campaign by glock. Glock has seen its sales drop so they started the glockout campaign. They walk up and ask if you have a glock, if you say yes...they give you a glock-hat autographed by gunny. If you say no, they punch you in the face and run away. People that have a glock get rewarded with gunny swag, and those that don't suddenly feel the need to carry a firearm. Those that carry other firearms clearly will miss the guerilla-glock workers because they are obviously not perfection.

I believe this is where the IDPA stage of starting at arms length, taking steps backward, drawing and firing comes into play.

So now for threat command we have "Standby....BEEP!" , "Threat!" , "Bust em!" and "Yo homes, you got a Glock?" Two rounds each target, A zone hits only please.
