    I was not coming down on you, my apologies. I was just trying to get you to take your personal security to the next level. Oh by the way Ohh Rah, thank you for your service Marine.
    As a young PFC years ago I was out drinking with some 0311's (trouble before it even gets started...lol). What I thought was a sucker punch to my buddy was actually a stab with a knife. We had been drinking earlier, and yes there was a confrontation at the bar. We decided to leave before it got out of hand. We went to a restaurant for breakfast. We were followed and confronted again by the same dudes. I went and called the police told them we wanted to leave and needed escort out the restaurant. While I was on the phone my buddy thought it ok to go out and have a smoke. I saw the "punch" from inside so dropped the phone and ran out there. The dudes with the knife were confronted with a 1911 and after some choice words and a broken car window they gave up with out a fight. The phone call I made saved me a world of hurt from the 1st shirt and CO. I learned a lot that night. My buddy took a stab wound to his kidney; it lacerated the main artery to the kidney. He was life lined out by helio right there in Jacksonville, FL. He spent several hours in surgery and a couple weeks in intensive care.

    You joined a gun forum and your OP referrenced little on firearms. I just wanted to throw in a what if in there to get you thinking.

    Semper Fi and God Bless you and your boys.

    Goodnight, not surprising someone from the horrible hell hole that is jacksonville, NC would produce a knife... Glad he made it alright...

    It was Jacksonville, FL

    NAS Cecil Field in Jacksonville, FL. I was stationed at the Marine Baracks there at the time. I just got my orders to go to Jacksonville, NC and that was what we were celebrating.

    Oh I see. Crazy, why do people have to resort to the knives? Pathetic.

    Showmes... It is actually a new bar, so you may not have been there... It is right behind the Thorntons off of 3rd street near popular....

    Isn't that like a Hooters clone?

    After checking Google Maps, yeah, that wasn't there when I lived in TH. That was an empty field, or part of that factory thing @ 6th & Voorhees.

    Sucks that you got punked, dude.

    If the guy knocked him out and broke his nose with one sucker punch, I'd think that one should be very leery of a rematch with the contender ;)

    Just about any grown man can KO another grown man when he doesn't see it coming.



    Anyway, dang this is a tough crowd. Sorry about your luck and thank you for your service.

    BTW, where did the stitch go? I don't see one in the picture.

    That sucks. I've had friends ambushed in the same way... thing is, you never know how it's going to turn out... I haven't frequented "bars" in a long time.

    When I was in my early teens I got sucker punched, broke my nose in 3 places and a nasal fracture. Funny thing is, it doesn't hurt for hours. Suckiest part is what feels like an eternity before you can regain control of yourself and get into the fight. Luckily like you I had a friend next to me that prevented the punk from whaling on me while I was dazed. I had a few hours in surgery a week later to repair it.

    FWIW today, if my friend and I were walking down the street and some guys at random came up and did that to my friend, I'd immediately draw. No question about it, an unprovoked attack and a friend hitting the ground and it's 2v1... No way it doesn't fall under lawful self defense... assuming I pressed the trigger before they backed off. I'm too old to get into a street fight let alone a unprovoked one.

    Glad to hear you are ok will you need surgery for your nose? Looks like you may need it.

    I hear that last night I was in the bar (Show-Me's) and these two guys were sitting there talking crap about glocks... This continued for 2 1/2 hours so I lost my cool and asked them what they thought they were doing, one turned so I blasted the first guy on the right the other guy stood up swung and missed, at that time someone said there was free beer at the bar at Terminal so off I went...

    You can insult my wife, my dog, even me... But you won't insult my glock!

    ok. ive seen two pictures of you now. in the first one, youre wearing sunglasses at night. this makes me want to punch you in the nose. in the second one, your hair looks dyed. this also makes me want to punch you in the nose.

    i think i solved the why. now we need to work on the who.
