Some people think you are safe in Indy

I think it would have been a much more satisfying story if he had drawn his legally-possessed handgun and shot them both. But maybe that's just me...

Blackhawk, it's stories like this that makes anyone desire a more permanent outcome!

Another good reason to wear a helmet and gear. Body armor is good in a fight!

I feel safe in Indy. Of course I do carry one or two handguns and at least two knives at all times.

 

[cburnworth]

1 knife & 1 gun. am looking for a backup ankle & a new knife. hopefully the bg get caught before they can do any more damage.

Let this be a lesson to you "P.O.S. Indy street trash" - we're not all meek and scared.

Backup ankle gun or knife. I have an ankle knife in stock. Just saying

The idiot learned himself a lession he'll never forget.


Weak he may not have been, but appearances can be...um wrong, and the gangsters learned a lession themselves.


I ride, and have had similar problems. My advise, if you arent ready to defend youself, stay the eff out of Indy. And you'd do yourself some justice to not look like you need to get robbed, or like you live in Carmel.


There is a certain predatory behavior exhebited by the criminally minded, and if you are victim, it's because you carry yourself like a sheep and not a wolf.

My heart goes to the biker, wish I could shake his hand and have a conversation with him and his encounter.

Helmet, gear, knife and gun. That's how I roll. (Sorry... I couldn't resist.)

Many, many, many of my insomniac, late night rides are in downtown-to-near-east indy. I would rather watch out for the riff-raff and LIGHTED vehicles driven by the percentage that have been drinking than the deer popping out of cornfields. So far, I've noticed a tendency for the pedestrians to steer *very* clear of a full-size man on a loud bike.

Things may be getting worse.

Stay aware.

I don't think people think they are safe downtown. I live downtown and I am always asked by people that don't, if I feel safe. I say sure, but not all of them know I carry.

Nice scoot.


This aint mine, but I wouldnt mind replicating certain aspects of it.

 

[TB1999]

At least he could post "your motorcycle and a black eye" in the INGO motorcycle game...just sayin...

I'm glad this guy reported this, keeps everyone on there toes (i hope). This is exactly why I carry every time I ride !! Although I do worry about the quickness of being able to get to my pistol with gloves on under my leather jacket.........might have to start taking it to the range to practice!
