Wow, aren't you blokes all a bunch of bad ass dudes.
I left home at 17, lived on the streets for 5 months and lived in a pickup truck for another year. Lots of stories....
Been in several fights, been stabbed (upper left shoulder), been shot at several times... Used to spend my time with folks of ill repute.
Finally decided at some point that all of it was pretty stupid and never looked back after that.
Still carry a gun everywhere though. Some habits are hard to break. These days it usually stays in the truck unless its A) nighttime, B) a bad part of town, or C) somewhere I'm not familiar with.
Have a concealed carry permits for 38 states. Did private contract armed bodyguarding in Los Angeles and Chicago. Found that clicking the switch on a stun gun get's people's attention 9 times out of 10 in ways that a normal gun never will.
Go figure.
Oh yeah... indoors, pepper foam is great stuff. Cover's their face with a gelatinous foam made of CS and peppers. They claw it out of their eyes and get it all over themself in the process. It has a UV marking dye which can provide positive ID via blacklight. Makes em scream like babies... good stuff
