a couple blocks away, i saw two policemen who drove me to where these other males were being arrested and asked me if they were them but they weren't... then the cops took me home...

god damn! i'm mad as ****! i lost over one hundred dollars and my cd player! thank god my check card was outside my wallet! all cause of some ****ing weed!

Ride a bike to and from work. It's a lot harder to mug someone on a bike.

an update, my jaw is much better now. its a little sore but not having the sharp pains of last night. i'm still only chewing on my food on my good side of my mouth though (last night i couldnt even do that) a few of my back teeth and molars are chipped slightly but they're all there.

That sucks man. Still slightly chipped is better then knacked out and I know dentists now days are very good at cosmetic fixes. Just hang in there.

just get a knife man

it's easier to conceal, easier to draw, and you don't have to worry about getting your **** blown off

[Velociryx]

'bout any truck stop of any size will carry them...

[Pekka]

Yeah, but if you get a knife, you should train how to use it. If I get someones knife to my hands just pulled on me, it's going to be found on the attackers ass with 100% certainty .

So, learn how to use it really.

One more thought to add to MtG's good advice:

You said that all you can realistically carry around is a 22. A 22 will be far more likely to get you into trouble than out of it unless you are very skilled with it. If you run into somebody who's really badass, getting hit with a 22 in a non-vital area (which most of them are) is more likely to piss them off than stop them. Guns are really only useful for the intimidation factor. If you have to actually use them, it's a crapshoot...odds are at least as good that you'll get shot rather than them in close quarters. You'd be much better off getting some of the non-lethals that have been suggested. Pepper spray or a squirt-gun full of some nasty concoction would be more effective.

Of course, this is coming from a 6'5" guy who's never been all that concerned with being mugged, so take it as you will.

If you're gonna get a gun, don't bother with getting a concealed gun. Carry an unloaded shotgun. It doesn't even have to be a real one. People will give you the whole street to yourself and if anyone is stupid enough to mess with you anyway it can be used like any other steel blunt object.

A bit late with this thread, but my condolences Speer.

hi ,

a 22 with training is far better then a .45 or 9MM , .....

but if you want real stopping power , get a coonan .357 , ......

have a nice day

I don't know if you should thumb the attacker in the eye with full power as David suggested, as that is lethal and very dangerous. To the attacker.

If there's more than one attacker, or the one person is likely to seriously hurt you, then by all means be extremely brutal. If you blind the ****er, tough ****.

The adam's apple is a great target, too. Also remember small joints - fingers, for example. If the opportunity presents itself, take a finger and jerk it back until it breaks. And the second your attacker goes down, don't be afraid to "fight dirty" - keep kicking him until he isn't likely to get up. If there's more than one opponent, especially, this guy needs to stay down, so repeated kicks to the head are good.

The biggest point I'm making is that you should never be afraid to fight dirty, because all that matters is getting out of the situation. Run if you can, fight if you have to, but if you have to fight, fight to win.

[Firelad]

IF you get a gun, get a revolver. Better get a knife or a telescoping club. 4" to 2' in less than a second, prefectly balanced and lethal. Just as lethal when wrested out of your hand and used against you though. Better to hit vital areas with suitable fists, take out knees, balls and eyes. When hitting the eyes use all your fingers, not just two (in case anybody actually thinks that this is how it's done). Harder to miss this way.
Last time I was mugged I talked my way out of it, although it was by the infamous Young Russian Mafia guys, twenty-something sons of mobsters (literally) who really like taking people apart - knives, chains, pipes etc totally savage and murderous. I just talked nice and let them make fun of me. Still I was quite lucky that they were in a good mood. Plus some old guy with gold teeth came and told them in a hoarse voice to leave me alone
Oh, and if you get involved in a streetfight with multiple opponents, never EVER wrestle!!!! This is a very good way to get killed in a streetfight (talking from experience - not getting killed but getting kicked, caught, pinned to the floor by four guys and getting ridden by the fifth - I had his head in a neck-braking hold but decided to wrestle him to the ground instead in order to not get into trouble. Thankfully help came before I got really hurt). Quick, powerful jabs at vulnerable points is the way to go. One hit is enough to put a person out of action, if you do this to two or three of them the rest will go away.

Would taking a car to and from work be possible? How about changing your look? Wear dorky clothes, then no one will think you're a dealer.
