Awesome bud. Great picture and great moment in that young man's life!

The exception to the rule. I almost forgot about that song Glenn.

The whole song on a cell phone drives me absolutely nuts. The song ring, the song while you wait, why?? >

Sorry for the scare guys. I thought it was pretty clear since the link to the other site was at the bottom. Was not me, but it really put things into perspective for me that something like that could happen to anybody, anywhere. I have a few handguns myself, and am grateful for the fact that I CAN have them.

Sorry guys. Chuck Norris made me do it.

Not me Glenn. If this post violates any board rules, let me know or please delete it.

I am going to keep this brief as I do not know what is to come. Today I drew my gun and fired it 7 times (only had 10 on me - now I know why I should carry a flippin spare mag - lesson learned!) Here is the story pretty quick. I am not going to say where this occurred or anything identifying yet - but I can say that this did not happen in Texas. I have been filling in for a certain company thats in need of pharmacist coverage pretty bad. They flew me to a store and I am here for the next 4 days.....which could change now. I show up to work today and everything is cool. The other fill-in pharmacist and two technicians show up to work. Everything is smooth, yet slow. I volunteer to go get some breakfast and leave. My return to the store is one I will never forget. I come around the corner to where the pharmacy counter is and I notice one 'gentleman' at the counter. I walk maybe 10 more feet and look up hoping that one of technicians notice me with 4 drinks and 3 bags of food and come to help. I am now about 5 feet from the pharmacy door at the front counter, 3 feet from the 'gentlemen' at the counter - and ultimately involved in the situation. Thats when it all comes down - and it wasn't good. As I am looking up I realize the situation. The lovely old lady (pretty much the only reason I went to get breakfast) was arguing with another 'gentlemen' in the pharmacy. Not even a second after that a shot is fire and we are now less one technician. I am out in the open and not a thing close for cover. Running is out of the option as I notice that the gentleman at the counter isn't so. The 'gentleman' at the counter also has a gun - his reaction was delayed (THANK YOU GOD) - but as soon as I dropped the drinks/bags and drew my weapon he was turning to aim on me. Those were my first 3 rounds. I am now turning to the 'gentleman' who shot the technician who reminded me of my grandma. As to my surprise he isn't now yelling at the other pharmacist. THANK YOU GOD #2. This was the most strange second of my life. I stood there, took aim at the him, thinking that pharmacist is next. Then the 'gentleman' begins raises his firearm yet again and I fire 2 more rounds. Keeping the details brief - the 2nd shot clearly ended any chance of survival as the filling counter is my shoulder height. Hopefully that sets the picture....not a pretty one. For those keeping count...thats 5 rounds fired. I thought it was over. The pharmacist and I just stand there looking at each other with 'that look'. Thats when I tune in to more arguing in the back. The second technician was helping a 3rd 'gentleman' load up on some medications. He comes running out of the back down the main aisle of the pharmacy shooting his gun in the air. At first I thought he was just making the escape as he heard my shots and wanted to bolt. I was wrong. As he was firing, I was backing around the shelf to my back with the pharmacist right behind me. The lady technician is still at the back of the pharmacy. He leaves the counting area of the pharmacy and is standing near the registers. He is yelling, cussing, ect. at me trying move his bag of newly acquired meds. I just kept low praying he would leave after seeing his buddies. Thats when 4 shots come in quite a bit over my head into the side wall. I move behind the shelf out of his sight. It was my only option as he knew that was my last location. I move to the center aisle and here is my IDPA lesson used. I aim up, and walk sideways to 'clear' the front of the pharmacy. He has moved to the middle of the counting counter and center aisle about 6 feet in front of me. As I step sideways, I move in direct path of him, but he was going to where I last was when he fired the shots into the wall. He never saw me. My last two shots were strangely enough the best. It was such a relieve after he went down. The pharmacy was now empty of all trash trying to cause harm over a cheap amount of medication. I am sad to say that 4 lives were lost that day - but only one mattered. Her name was Winifred and the sweetest old lady you could ever meet. During our early morning conversation she stated how her and her late husband would get coffee before he dropped her off at work. I went to the exact place where they got coffee and breakfast = McDonald's. The three 'gentlemen' who came to the pharmacy for pain and depression meds did not leave. They all went 'home' in body bags. For those wondering, I carry a Kimber Pro TLE/RL loaded with Federal HST +P 230g in a Milt Sparks VMII. From today on, I will carry a spare mag if not two. Today has been quite a day and I need to go back to work to account for what was bagged up. Please pray for Winifred and her family. I have no last name or any other info on her yet. I will keep this thread updated to the best of my ability with the facts I can share.

All of the cars you mention are sweet. The only problem is that the Pagani will be close to $1,000,000 once it reaches the US. Not quite there yet.

The rod is a fast action. Trust me you wont be dissapointed. Its the lightes rod I own, next to a Steez.

I went to the local tackle shop to buy a crankbait, ended up buying a piece of land with a lake on it full of fish. OK I'm kidding. ;D

Chris would, he has several to choose from.

Pagani was started by an ex Lamborghini engineer. His cars are just mind blowing. The body is made entirely of carbon fiber, a popular option is to order the car bare - so you actually see the weave. It's on another level. They are not for sale in the USA yet, but I understand that they will be next year.

They really dont Cart. For the most part these cars arent really meant to be driven, as odd as it may seem. If you do drive the car, you pay for it, one way or another. I had my Murcielago for a year and a half. I bought it brand new and put 9700 miles on the clock. When it came time to sell it, I took a substantial monetary loss. However the experience I had from owning an exotic was worth more to me than anyting. Like a buddy of mine told me, if you're just going to keep it in the garage, buy a poster. It's alot cheaper.

I'm with Raul.

Get a Hummer H2! I get a whopping 9.4 miles per gallon while towing my boat.

Raul, you look GREAT in your new aviator! You MUST be working out??

The Pagani Zonda F is a rolling piece of art. That car gives me goose bumps.

That put a smile on my face.

Wow guys!! Check these out, the production quality is just awesome! http://www.supercarmovies.com/html/interface.html

Mick, Sounds like a nice blank. Looking forward to seeing a picture of your finished rod. What reel are you putting on it?

Congratulations on your accomplishment. It sounds like you are well on your way. Once I started using baitcasting gear, it was all over for the spinning gear.

Funny story. My sister was at church one day and noticed one of the choir singers would not keep his eyes off her. She's there with her husband and two children. She gets a little uncomfortable and then starts to get upset. by the end of the servicde she is steaming, but says nothing to my brother in law to avoid a situation. When it's finally over, she ses that the person next to him leads him out, where he unfolds his WHITE CANE. I don't think there's been a time where she has felt worse for what she was thinking.

Congratulations!

;D ;D ;DThat's the funniest thing I've ever read on here ;D ;D ;D x 3
