Brian Team A.I. Hey Brian, did that really happen to you? Team Kender - "The Sun is coming up!" "No, the horizon is going down." Yup. I pulled an Al Pacino (Scarface) and introduced them to my 'little friend'. Him and his 19 friends caused the drunks to think twice about their coincidentally hollow threats. Thankfully, not a shot was fired and I didn't even have to say a single word to them. So I took some creative license with the 8 words. Brian Team A.I. Quote Link to comment

They should know the laws in their state. ...unless they get into trouble with the police. The situation was, I was in a position where retreat wasn't an option. Had they come around, I'd have been cutoff with no time to escape/evade. As far as 'brandishing' goes, I disagree. I'm tall, but thin. There were 4 of them, each with a couple inches and about 90lbs on me. The odds were in their favor, escalating my potential use of force to equal what I was up against. Threats to use weapons against me also left me with the understanding that I was completely justified in my actions. Don't get me wrong. In a situation where I have an escape, you bet I will. I work for a law enforcement agency, so you can bet I'm more conscientous of what I do when out and about and I'm carrying. Quote Link to comment

+hikemeister Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 This weekend we will try for eight caches. They are "waterfront property" 1, 2, 3, 4. Oh yes, and also 5, 6, 7, 8. All of them are micro caches, not traditional. What do you think about this cache type? Generally I don't spend much time on them. But this weekend we'll give some a try. Perhaps it will even end up being fun. Quote Link to comment
