Shoot / No Shoot: Funnel Cake

[Burk Cornelius]

With the State Fair just ending, I am sure several of you went with your trusty companion (except inside buildings). Scenarios of an open air event like a fair always make me wonder what the heck you would do IF something did happen and there are 20,000 people around to help you violate Col. Cooper’s rule #4.

Let’s say you are strolling around the midway with a funnel cake in one hand and a corn dog in the other and you see a guy walking at a rapid pace toward you (and everyone around you) with a handgun [partially] hidden behind his leg. What do you do?

Put the corndog in my pocket and eat the funnel cake really fast then take up a defensive posture behind the tilt-a-whirl.

I'm going to hide behind the bearded woman.

All joking aside. A defensive position behind something is probably the best bet. I would go tilt-a-whirl ahead of bearded lady though

Is that a corn dog in your pocket or is the bearded lady exciting you???

If indeed you are the target; as you switch from orange to red and present your weapon drop to the ground. No not to be all tactical or Nija rolly, it clears your backstop.....#4.... the best it can be for the conditions your in. A bullet up above the crowd is far better than one directly into the crowd, but you shouldn't have won the ring toss game to get the carny hawker so mad he comes at you with a gat.

I forgot to add that once behind the Tilt-a-whirl I would remove the corn dog from my pocket and enjoy the hell out of it as it may be my last if the bearded lady sees me.

Eat the corn dog and use the stick to stab rapidly at his temple while kicking his knee backwards, then enjoy the funnel cake as a reward for being so tactically sound.

I like your thought process. No wasted food and the assailant is neutralized

 

[Matt1911]

Dude... I'm not wasting an $8 funnel cake and a $7 corn dog.

Ask him to hold your corn dog and funnel cake, he will then be disarmed. Then again he may interpret you asking him to hold your corn dog in a different way and blast you or hug you depending on which way he swings.
