    Or at least bigger bottles. I applaud his courage, but deplore his intelligence. Or as Clint said, "a man has to know his limitations.":biggrin_25522:

    He deserves an "otta boy" for taking one for the team and atleast a 12 pack to help recover

    Taking one, hell, it said he was shot several times and was still ok. That's one tough bird.

    As long as he used cheap beer. If it was Christmas, he should've used a fruitcake. :biggrin_2559:

    He probably read the thread here about "getting robbed at a truck stop" and followed the advice of someone about taking on someone with a gun when you are unarmed. You know if you're big, and have "that look" in your eye, etc. the robber will just crumble in fear.

    Though I do admire his courage, he should have enlisted the help of a couple of others before he made his move. Who knows, maybe others there let him down and ran.
     
    Big Don and outerspacehillbilly Thank this.
