Dealing with psychos

Yeah.
Point across the lot and say "watch out for the pancakes!"

In this case you should have drove up to the fuel pumps and did your pretrip.

 

If thats what you want to do, but thats not the way im doing it.

I can tell you know nothing about fighting. The skull is a small target and your hammer head is an even smaller weapon.

The skull is also bone, yes in your theory you will do some Neagon/Lucille skull cracking. I can tell you you will probably fail at it though.

You want to disable the attacker? Do a take down using the full body and lock them with an arm bar or wrist lock.

I will guarantee you 10 out of 10 times my leg sweep will begin to disable the attacker long before your hammer to the skull does.

Yes, i do have a background in hand to hand combat. Only a short 4 years, but after the first of the year when we move, the wife and I will be signing up for classes and hopefully going all the way with Jiu-jitsu. I LOVE grappling! Nothing makes me happier and gets a better workout in than taking the fight to the floor.

Let me just make myself clear. I still would not engage unless i have to.

 

I carry concealed and in your circumstance, seeing that car there... I would have skipped the pre-trip, got in the truck and left. That is how I deal with crap like that, avoid at all costs. You could have moved to the fuel island to pre trip if you felt it that necessary. Commonsense, I wish I could bottle the stuff.

 

Well use reverse psychology mate, if you sound crazier then him he'll probably leave you alone.

 

@mitmaks That psycho stared you down, but he didn't make a move did he? I have found out that walking around your truck with a thumper or a hammer in your hand will cause the pan handlers and snake oil salesman to keep a distance away from you.
