Gunnut Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Read a thread recently, about crime in certain area's etc, one member said, he new a friend who was approached by a few gentlemen, who demanded him too hand over his guns, and threatened violence, not sure what I would do, if this should happen to me, but picture the scene, your shooting in a remote spot alone, when you are approached by several thugs, who demand your guns and ammo or else, what would you do, is there anything you can legally do, or do you back down and do has they say, I wonder where you stand, if this situation should arise.

scarecrow243 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 if you hand any gun over you break the law. also then it becomes armed robbery so they wont want you to identify them reasonable force is what your allowed so shoot them in the legs to save your life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 What was the outcome of the scenario you describe? I hate threads such as this as no one knows what they would do despite some claiming they would shoot from the hip, take them prisoner or ask them if they ‘feel lucky’. I avoided going out during fair week to avoid such scenes. The only time I was approached, I informed them they were trespassing long before they were too close, and that I was calling the police, and then walked away.

Tford Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 My only time being ‘approached’ about midnight when a transit come off the main road and up a field track to where I had been lamping. They got to the top of the track where was stood with my 223 with sizeable t8 mod making it look very menancing! I asked if I could help them, and the two gypsy chaps said they wanted to give the dogs a run. I explained it was private and they couldn’t run the dogs there. They asked whether they could get permission, to which I replied no way, I’m the only one with permission and the owner won’t give it to anyone else. They said okay no worries thanks And reversed out and left.... no doubt they came back another day, or chose another place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Just pop a few off over their heads. Or retreat to a safe distance and ring plod, while doing so remove mag and bolt. If they catch up with you then butt slap them while doing a command roll Edited November 11, 2018 by Dougy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry2016 Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 They would be a brave group of individuals to walk up to a man shooting in a hide demanding and threatening violence ... really ... i don't think so ...after all you are the one with the gun and they do not know how you would react .. and who is around .. after all its a remote spot..

welshwarrior Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Easy lay the gun down and Kungfu them into submission maybe a Vulcan death grip or two. If a particular large group use the force to sweep them to one side as you uncloak your x wing to pop home to the bat cave maybe using Spider-Man webs to detain them for plod. Sorry hate these sorts of threads as no ones the answer until they are in that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always treat these stories with a degree of scepticism, no right minded person demands a gun off someone whilst they are holding it.... maybe as part of a break in, but surely not in the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 Exactly. OP hasn’t been back since initial post so I highly suspect the friend of the member was spinning a yarn, if there ever was a friend of a member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as above said until you are in this situation you don't know how you would react.. Edited November 13, 2018 by Terry2016 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well put it this way, I will NOT be handing over the gun. Once you have done that, you have passed your life over into their hands to do with as they please, they may decide that it would be preferable to not have a witness to the crime ? Any criminal who has the balls to come up and demand a gun from an armed person, has the balls to do far worse. Its not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunnut Posted November 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 This is the first decent reply from Rewulf, to my original post " It's a trap " " Troll in my opinion " and other garbage submitted, simple question, simple answer, but at least it gave the weekend key cowboys, something to do, thought it was a reasonable question, but it seems it wasn't. just wanted to know, where you stood legally, no ulterior motive intended, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Remove forend from gun, then barrels, grip the muzzle of the barrels with both hands, you now have a tool that most (not all) would back away from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that goes according to plan thats great. If it goes wrong , you get beaten to death with your own gun in a lonely field somewhere. No thank you. You have the right to defend yourself, and others, using reasonable force, if you believe the person trying to remove the gun from your possession is going to cause death or injury to yourself or others , using said gun, then its your civic duty 🙂 to prevent this from happening. If that means losing your ticket, then at least your conscience is clear 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
