Kimberkid, in short about all I can say is I am of the less than 1% of individuals, in that, I've survived multiple deadly encounters with some of the most deadly criminals on the planet. I would have to spend hours writting to cover all the incidents. Mind you, I am not in law enforcement, I'm not involved in criminal activity, all have either been random incidents, or the result of me doing the right thing by testifying as a witness against a suspected criminal in which I witnessed the crime.
I would have to actually sit down and recall the number of times I've been kidnapped, robbed, assaulted, and even two attempts to blow me up in my car by the same two individuals. I'll keep it short and post just a few details of the most deadly one's.
I once had a .357 mag. shoved in my mouth and was made to beg for my life. When I did so, he said I didn't sound sincere, I better shed some tears or he would blow my brains out. Then as quick as it started, he suddenly said I could go. I was armed, but he got the jump on me and caught me totally by surprise.
My Sister and I were kidnapped at knife point in the mid 1970's from a bus stop. I had absolutely no other way of saving our lives but to shoot.
In another encounter, and at the age of 12 yrs. old, I was kidnapped by a sicko while riding my bike to my favorite rabbit hunting spot in the very early hours of the morning. I was armed with a 22 cal. pistol. In that incident I had no choice but to shoot. If not for my love of hunting and the great outdoors, I most definitely would have been sexually assaulted and very likely killed.
My wife and I were kidnapped in an apartment complex in the early evening hours as we exited our car, just after dark. We were nabbed at gun point by two men and held captive for 2 or 3 hours before escaping from a locked closet and retrieving my gun laying on a table in the room. They wanted money, but all I had was a credit card and a measly few bucks in my pocket. So they were trying to figure a way of getting me to the bank in the morning to pull the money off my card without being seen on camera. All I could get from the ATM back in those days (1980's) was about $200, which wasn't enough for them. So one of them suggested holding my wife hostage until the other came back from the bank with me, and $10,000.
I've been kidnapped at my place of employment at least 4 times, but more like 7 or 8 times. I was unarmed and at the mercy of the bad guys in all those incidents.
My wife was held at gun point during an armed robbery once. The robber fired two shots at her, he missed, but she pretended to be dead, which likely saved her life.
Many more deadly encounters to cover, but like I said, it would take hours and hours to detail each incident.
The laws in certain states prevented me from reporting many of these incidents for fear of being prosecuted due to bad self defense laws. So most were not ever brought to the attention of LE, though some were. This is the primary reason why I now live, and have been living in Arizona for most of the last 40+ years. And also why I'm literally never without a sidearm, it's either on my person, or under my pillow. I have missed out on numerous family trips over the last 4 decades, simply because I won't travel too, or through states that restrict my ability to lawfully defend myself, or restrict my ability to carry a loaded firearm.
Today I had to mail a package, which meant I couldn't legally carry my sidearm into the post office. I just love winter, cause it allows me to wear a long heavy concealing coat, not that I was wearing, just saying...
Out of respect for my circumstances, I ask that those who reply please refrain from criticizing me, such as, I was asking for it by not maintaining a state of awareness, or how could you not see that coming. As well, please refrain from casting doubt upon my claims, it only makes me feel victimized all over again. I know that in some of these incidents I made mistakes, and that I left myself wide open for the attack. That said, I was once robbed 3 times by the same 3 men, and each robbery was committed one week apart. But in my defense, and even after having been victimized numerous times, the bad guy almost always has a preemptive and a well premeditated plan of attack.And when it concerns abductions or sexually motivated crimes, the perpetrator is often on the intelligent side. Armed robbers and the like are usually very stupid, they often fail to think things through before hand, often committing the crime without much planning.
