      My cousin and I were installing a boiler at a house in East Chicago on Thursday, at about 10AM we went out to the work van to get some tools and two black guys walked up to us and asked if we had change for a $20. We both said no, and one of them pulled out a Glock, racked the slide, and told us...

      Experience with IMPD!

      Last night I was on my way home from work about 8:30 when I got pulled over by an IMPD officer. I was at 38th and Pendleton Pike, which isnt the best part of town to start with. After I went through the intersection he put his lights on, so I turned my signal on and pulled into a CVS parking...

      Guy at my door last night

      We have to always stay vigilant. Last night about 8 pm someone rang my doorbell. I went to the door and yelled through the front door, “Who is it?” I heard a man’s voice but didn’t understand what he said or recognize the voice. I went to the dining room window and saw a man wearing an orange...

      I was disarmed 8-0!

I was approached by Hancock County acting as security, he requested my LTCH, after reviewing asked me to please either take this weapon to my car or...

      Incident this morning

      Every night I always leave a light on in my living room. To switch it up, sometimes I'll leave a kitchen light on instead. To really mix things, I'll keep both on. Last night, only the living room light was on. About 5'am, I woke to my dog growling, very loud. He never growls. So I jump outta...

      So I just started carrying and I already got a scare...

      I was over at my fiance's aunt's house which is in a pretty run down part of town. We're inside chatting with some of her family and she asks me to run out to her car to grab her laptop. I go ahead and do it, since I am such a nice, humble guy :D and as I'm heading back in, a guy I've never seen...

      Scared and felt the need to pull my gun

      During a gun show while I was behind my tables talking to a door guy a customer approached one of my tables and picked up one of my fixed blades and was looking it at in a weird way and also making strange looking faces at the same time. This caught my attention as with the door guy and we both...

      Have you ever been shot?

      Lets hear it! Have you been shot by yourself, a friend, a family member, someone you didn't even know. If so, where (on the body), where (location), and by what type of firearm or weapon? Even if it was just a pellet gun or something or you were unintentionally peppered while rabbit hunting...

      Well, he had the drop on me

      This actually happened a few weeks ago. I was coming back from visiting a funeral home and stopped for gas. It was 9ish, so it was dark. My truck has a topper with tinted windows. They are actually too dark because at night it can be difficult to see cars next to me. I was standing there pumping...

      I had my first "man with a gun" incident last night.

      I've been lurking here for a while but now I have a reason to post. It's long, but I don't want to leave out any details. I was out for a late night walk last night in my rather peaceful Ft. Wayne neighborhood. I had my .45 XD in an IWB partially exposed. It's late, no one's likely to notice it...
