Well I don't think it would've necessarily been a fistfight. The guy was so intoxicated he could barely stand. I could've knocked him over with a finger to the chest had he decided to get physical with me.wheelgun1958 wrote:A lot of us AREN"T 6'6" and 275 lbs and are too old for a fistfight.MojoTexas wrote:The whole time I had my son in the carseat in my truck, and I had a .357 magnum in the console (since I didn't have plastic yet), but he wasn't a big threatening guy, and since I'm 6'6" and 275 lbs, I never felt the need to retrieve my pistol from the truck.

Re: aggressive panhandler (long)
Back when I was single, I dated a gal for a while who was a 911 dispatcher. I got to "listen in" and observe with her one night...and it was very fascinating. I had always been hesitant to call 911 before then unless it life-or-death, but after hearing what sort of calls she handled, I am now not the least bit hesitant to call 911 if there's a suspicious person or someone doing something he shouldn't.
For instance, last year my wife and I were living in an apartment in east Plano, and I came home with my toddler son and stopped to pick up the mail. There was a heavily intoxicated guy wearing baggy pants and no shirt loitering around the mail box. He was so drunk that his pants fell down around his ankles (he was wearing boxers of course) and when I suggested he pull his pants up, he got belligerent with me. I promptly whipped out my cell phone while he stood there arguing with me and exposing himself and called 911. Plano PD showed up about 3 minutes later and took him in for Public Intoxication. I heard later that he had felony warrants, and he was evicted from the complex.
The whole time I had my son in the carseat in my truck, and I had a .357 magnum in the console (since I didn't have plastic yet), but he wasn't a big threatening guy, and since I'm 6'6" and 275 lbs, I never felt the need to retrieve my pistol from the truck. He did threaten me, but never touched me, and was so drunk that he wouldn't have been a problem if he had.
Needless to say, that incident and some others were highly instrumental in us moving into a house in McKinney shortly afterwards. :-)
