I really thought he was gonna kill me...

So tonight, my buddy and I went out for dinner…after some hornblasting, of course.

After some great laughs, we “hit” one last plaza before grabbing some food. we saw a couple walking in the parking lot, so I pulled up near them and gave a good honk. They both jumped so high; it was by far the best & funniest reaction of the night.

So, we call it quits & head for my favorite diner, just a block away. We get a nice booth & start looking at the menus when:

All the sudden, this huge guy has a knife at my throat & starts screaming at me. Before I knew what was going on, he had his hands around my throat, choking me. I threw him off me & stood up, and by then several restaurant staff came between us (lucky me, as I’m not a big guy). My friend had stood up by then, and this crazy man continues to yell at us for—get this—giving his wife a heart attack.

Next, his wife comes flying in the restaurant yelling at us—screaming about crazy horns. Needless to say, this couple truly looked insane to all the customers, who were by now fixated on the dispute.

They finally leave after the man attempts to throw some punches. Several minutes later, a policeman walks up to our booth—the restaurant owner called the cops.

So, being quick witted, I tell the cop the entire story truthfully. The only exception was that the couple “walked in front of my car.” I even told him about the train horns (thinking that if it was the couple that called the cops, I would need full disclosure).

He just took our names and numbers down—we gave him a quick (albeit lacking) description of the crazed man and his wife. He shook my hand and left.

After the meal, the whole situation just hit me----I burst out laughing when I realized that this whole thing was started by a few horns.

ROFLMAO!

Holy crap.
Most of the people I honk at just jump then wave at me. I hope this never happens.

People over react. I’m sorry it happened to you or anyone at all, people need to take life with a grain of salt and get over some things. I mean seriously, pulling a knife because of train horns. Dude needs some help and some medication.

It’s because of idiots like this that I have my handy dandy baseball bat beside the driver’s seat in my truck.

Screw the ball bat… All I can say is don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.

Glock 30 FTW!

LMAO … CCW and a Springfield XD in .45 in the small of my back.

Because you know a .45 will tear a man’s arm off … I read that on the internet :wink:

-K

We are a CC state also…
I’d hate to have to use mine because of something I started - whether the guy is crazy or not.

Glad it ended with a handshake

And this is why I don’t use my horns for scaring.

Police baton right near my side :wink: Expands from 12"- 30 with a flick of the wrist… Solid steel :cool:

I think I’d get that… but I have a feeling it’s illegal in my state :/.

I still have that link saved, it’s just on the one of these day’s list.

perhaps make it a few more blocks away than that next time :rolleyes:

And this is why I don’t use my horns for scaring.

I carry so he would have died that night… but glad your alright… .45 because double tapping is just silly.

ya, unless they ask for it FIRST

yea i carry also, that guy would have his name written on one of my .357 bullets

DittoX2

I agree… .38 special, occasional glock .40, 6 cell maglite. You get the drift…

you guys better be careful who you piss off with these horns.you might really wind up seriously injured or worse if you happen upon someone thats having a bad day.your baton, bat or gun that you keep with you probably will not stop a determined attacker if he strikes first because itll be too late. just a thought

HECK YEAH! Even though that would be a crappy reason to shoot someone. I have a story almost as funny. Check the forum for it.

ASP! Thats funny. They shatter bones.
