I am not proud of what I have done

[Patron God of Pirates]

Loading a hopper would have been way to controlled an action for me. I would have destroyed his Marker and thrashed him if he tried to stop me.

[Thordic]

I would have thrown his POS in the lake.

[StuDawggie]

Dude,
You handled that a lot better than I ever would have in that situation. I know had I been there in that positiion and that happened to me and my g/f, I probably, would end up in jail. I know my temper and after I unloaded a hopper or 2 on the mofo who pulled that, I would probably unload with my fists too. I hate to admit to that, but that's the truth. I'm glad your girl is okay, and nothing worse happened. I thik you handled the situation as best you could given the circumstances, and what you had available.

[G-Rexx]

Caveman, I understand your frustration, and I can't say I would not have done EXACTLY what you did, I may have done worse I'm an x-Special Forces officer with a really bad temper. However your fiance is ok, and you did not get arrested!!! What I know I would have done, is thrown his marker in the drink, so he would have needed a scuba diver to find it.

[Temo Vryce]

The answer is simple. Have him charged with assult. I realise that this is bad for paintball but it's better than lighting the guy up.

Personally if it was me. I wouldn't have gone for my mag, I would have shown how hard it is to pick your teeth up when your eyes are swollen shut. Again this is the wrong thing to do, but when someone does something like that to someone you love, all rational thought goes out the window. I'm glad that you didn't do anything stupid in the long run.

[pip_999]

well

did i read it wrong or did you say that you
loaded up a pod??!?!?!?!

how was that gonna scare him

i think that you were gonna shoot him but then you cameto your senses

stupid is
as stupid does

I have to give you some much needed respect as you didn't fly off the handle. Also.. to those that would have unloaded a hopper or two.. sounds like the first thing that would come to mind, but remember.. that one shot on his fiances forehead would have been a lot easier to explain as accidental than 200+ all over ol' boys body. I'd just popped him once... in his "member" you know what I mean.

Caveman.. I'm really glad your fiance is ok. I mean.. its kinda like the man upstairs was already looking out for you and her. As Army said.. live and learn. Next time.. walk up to the offender.. don't say anything.. look him dead in the eyes and land one solid punch, square in the middle of his face. Then turn around and walk off. This would have accomplished what you wanted.. an eye for an eye. I believe cops would have let you go with a warning as both of you had physically assaulted someone. Yours was a crime of passion though.. so its not a sin in my book.

wow, i havent been on here for a good while.

That story really irratates me, irresponsible people and drinking just dont mix. You NEVER strike, or cause physical pain to a lady, plain and simple. If that were me, that man would have had to have been taken out in an ambulance. You should have beaten the living crud out of that guy when he was scared of you. You should have just started swinging and never stopped.

Im sorry to those that would not have handled this situation this way. I know that I sound extreme, but the way I see it is, if you harm a lady, I will harm you a 100 fold. This is just my personal philosophy, when it comes to ladies.

I am very glad to here that she is ok, that could have been devastating.

take it easy all

Next time go to the public pool

[Sledgehammer]

OK, here's what I would have done in a similar situation over here in Germany:

1) Pull out my service ID,
2) declare myself "on duty",
3) explain to that guy that he's gonna be charged with a) assault (using a firearm) [German laws do treat paintguns as firearms], b) illegal carrying of a firearm (Assuming the place is public property) c) shooting outside a shooting facility,
4) ask for some piece identification,
5) just in case he doesn't want to identify himself: Arrest him on the spot and charge him with armed resistance to a police officer,
6) confiscate his paintgun (as evidence and for later destruction).
7) just in case he doesn't want to give me the paintgun: Take it with force and charge him with armed resistance to a police officer.

I love it when the law is on my side

so,what did you do "wrong"?

I think what you did was a little too far, but in the same circumstance, I probably would've done something similar. Anyway, instead of going for the marker, I think you should've gone for a cell phone. Having the police show up to haul his useless *** to jail for assault would've scared him a lot more.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[FutureMagOwner]

what would have been better is if you took him and tossed him into the water and buried his gun under the shore or threw it at the guy's head.

believe me i would probably be in jail if someone did that its hard to get me pissed but when you do you better run

I am very much the same way...or i used to be. Like i said, a few years ago it would have been very different. She has forced me to learn to control my anger a great deal over the past 3 years. Part of me regrets not dropping the jerk, but in the end i am glad i didn't. Jen would have been extremely upset with me if i had, and her happiness and saftey is far more important to me than my own. so i deffinatly don't want her mad at me.

But thank you guys very much for you support. I still can't describe the sickness that comes over me every time i replay the shot in my mind.

[FrAuStY]

I know what you mean.. I won't discuss details but I get sick to my stomach when a certain thought crosses my mind.
