You know…. if I had known what the actual punishment was for running with scissors, I wouldn’t have done it so much as a kid.
The guy I renew my carry permit from is an ex Sacramento County Sheriff. Retired now, but still Post Certified. A great guy and a great trainer. He’s been involved in three shoots. All pretty entertaining. One in particular the parents of a whack job call the coppers out because their 40 something son has slipped his dico and swinging a sword. My bud and his partner pull up in the dead of night and here’s this clown on an elevated porch wearing a table cloth like a diaper that jumped down on the hood of their cruiser swinging a Samurai sword. They both jumped to the ground firing their weapons. As he says, “we stitched him pretty good”. But, he lived. Paralyzed. My pal and his partner were sued. Guess by whom? Yes, the parents.
@Aaron Burr: I’ll bet you weren’t happy until someone lost an eye, too.
Well yeah, but the old fashioned way. With scissors.
Had no idea the base M.P’s would have chased me down with automatic weapons. That 4th grade diorama damn near got me kilt.
He lost at rock paper scissors and gun.
P.S. Florida man sure gets around.
A’yup

Were they fully semi-automatic high-powered scissors?
I bet they had high-capacity blades.
A lesson learned…don’t get snippy with the police.

Never bring scissors to a gunfight.
Did they at least ask him to cut it out before they shot him?
Poor guy was so hammered, thought he was at a sewing circle…
