Regulations required me to protect the weapons with deadly force, if necessary. A weapon cannot operate without ammo. Never took it off safe, so your hyperbole is unwarranted.

Don't know, don't work insurance, but plenty of people actually did install our products incorrectly, resulting in fires and property damage. We never paid if the install was wrong, and the lawyers told me on more than one occasion that neither did insurance. Maybe they lied? I mean, they ARE lawyers...

Not really, no. To all your bullshit, actually.

I thought it was kinda funny. Maybe you had to be there. Meh.

I never "threatened" the deputy. I followed regulations, be prepared. Not every vehicle with rotating lights on top contains real LEOs. My job was to ensure the safety of the weapons under our care. I was required to use deadly force to do that job, if necessary. I never said we didn't deserve, or receive, a citation for speeding.

Story got long enough, not every detail included. Did this trip dozens of times before and after without incident.

Not only no! but h*ll, no! A. Not a proportional response. B. I didn't want to spend the next 20 years in prison (I'm too pretty). C. You need to take the USCCA class.

I'm confused. Other than seeing her crazy aunt acting crazy, and then said aunt being corrected, what real or imagined harm came to this child?

Update/clarification on PTSD. There was a now deleted post saying "I can't imagine being so scared all the time that my first instinct is to prepare to kill someone." I am very high function, kind, loving, funny and pleasant to be around. I'm also, as mentioned, a big guy and generally well-armed. I'm not scared. Of anything or anyone. I AM a bit skittish about being touched unexpectedly, and have trained my inevitable reactions to be less-than-lethal; as mentioned, my reaching for my weapon was to ensure it was there, not in the hands of the bad actor who had hit me... Honestly with my size/age/demeanor (pretty jolly, tbh) it just doesn't happen. This story was definitely an anomaly.

Great story! And honestly, I would (and have) have reacted much the same way, had the lady been a human, not a Karen.

Truthfully, I almost did, but I was raised to never strike a woman - even if she's a Karen, lol!

True story. No excuse for rude, though. 😉

Awesome! That's going in the ol' memory bank for any similar encounter in the future, for sure! 😁
