Two to the groin and he was still fighting?
He sounds like one of those extraterrestrials from "Alien Nation"!
You should have tried punching him in the armpits...

Not always able to score a direct hit there, and if that's the case the pain is MUCH less.deanimator wrote:Two to the groin and he was still fighting?
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Re: Assulted today in my church parking lot
There's a thing called a "lift kick" that I learned back in the '70s. If you don't think you can actually hit the testicles, you go directly for the inner thigh with the inside edge of your foot. It's equivalent to shooting the track off of a tank. It immobilizes your opponent and allows you to either withdraw or to attack an opponent with a greatly diminished ability to evade your attack.Brian D. wrote:Not always able to score a direct hit there, and if that's the case the pain is MUCH less.deanimator wrote:Two to the groin and he was still fighting?

Re: Assulted today in my church parking lot
I've heard an effective strike to the front of the pelvis (right above genitals, below soft bladder area) and can be an effective fight stopper. The idea is to fracture the pubic symphysis, the cartilage that connects both halves of the pelvis in front. The pain is supposed to be disabling and the recipient will likely find they are unable to stand because the pelvis is the foundation to the body. If you shatter that the rest will crumble like a cheap vegas hotel being demolished.

Re: Assulted today in my church parking lot
Hope that you included in your report that the yoot broke your phone in an attempt to call 911. That is a felony in itself. Glad you're ok and I might if I may use snipits of your story when I approach the leadership in my church about allowing those of us with CHL's to carry our firearms at the church for these very reasons.

I can't believe the Officer cuffed me and threw me in the back of his car when I clearly called Shotgun
"With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option," Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr.

Re: Assulted today in my church parking lot
Glad you did OK. Good to hear the guy is 19y.o. since he'll get a stiffer punishment than a minor would have. One wonders why the van was behind the church. Do you suppose they were looking to steal scrap metal but got stuck in the mud instead?
Give em' Hell Pike!!!

Re: Assulted today in my church parking lot
You took a risk by opening the van. There could have been someone inside who would not take kindly to the invasion of their personal space.
Since a police report had been filed didn't they check it out?
Good outcome with the arrest but it was risky for you.
We had problems with criminals stealing batteries from cars at my church during evening services and were advised by the police "You supply the eyes and ears and we will supply the muscle." I suppose this is what you were doing when you approached the van but it didn't go as planned.

Re: Assulted today in my church parking lot
Good job! I'm glad you were not injured. I do have one comment: I hope the yutes don't see your van later and make the assumption that there is a gun in it to be stolen but I'm guessing you won't be leaving the gun in the van anymore anyway
