First I'd like to say that I am already a member of this forum and that this is a new username to hide my identity. Moderators please respect the privecy. PLEASE.


I was riding my toward one of the well know trail heads in my city... In order to get to the trail head you have to have to ride through a pretty dark parking lot. It was about 8pm, so it was getting dark, I was trying to make it home before it got too dark. Anyway, So as I cruise through the parking lot some guy in a white shirt jolts at me, grabs my arm and brings me to the groud. Toook me a second to reazile what was happenining. My feet were still clipped into the pedals, and all I could hear is "Take his bike:, "Kick his ass!:.... Alll within those moments I was yelling "Calm down, you got the wrong guy!". THey weren't phased, one guy looked like he had a bat, or a stick, or something, the other three were bent on stealing my bike (which was quite expensive). The only other option I could think of to end this situatuion was to pull out my Glock 27, One round sent waves through everyone. Almost as time had stood still, in a panic they all took off running, I was left there with a pistol in my hand, a scrape on my shoulder, and my bike laying on the ground. I aimed for a giant compost heap, I had no intent on shooting anyone of them. I got back on my bike and BOOKED HOME faster than I ever hace,

Sorry, I can;t reveal my real name here, but I had to share that with you guys. Probably one of the craziest thinks to ever happen to me. Feel free to post this on other furoums. Teach these guys a lesson!

Hey guys.

Thanks for all the support.


To answer some questions. I was wearing a semi-large jacket since it was pretty cold outside and dark... I wasn't on a trail yet, I was in transit. I was in a parking lot that leads to the trail.

When I fell, I'm glad I stayed in the pedals because that was the only thing keeping them from taking my bike. One guy was tugging at my bike (I have a $3000+ bike) and the other dude was pulling me. I reached into my pocket after yelling a few warnings, pulled out the pistol which I was hoping would scare them off... Gave that about a second, and when they didn;t stop assaulting me, I aimed for the compost pile and fired off a round, Right then they stopped and ran like crazy.

I thought about shooting them since one dude had a bat in his hand... if he would have came at me with the bat, I would have fired into his leg or sometthing. The problem with me concealing a weapon is that I dont have a CCW permit. My state doesn't allow it. I don't plan on shooting anyone unless my life is in danger, and at this point it didn't seem as though my life was in danger. It looked like they wanted my bike and to maybe rough me up a bit. Not worth me going to jail.

I didn't pick up the spend shell because I couldnt find it and I was in a HUGE rush to get the hell out of there. Those guys aren't going to call the cops, thats for sure, and I don't plan on it either.

Thanks for all your support guys.

PS: I kept the pistol secured in my pocket, not chambered

For one, I'm glad I stayed clipped in, I wanted to stay clipped in... I could have very well clipped out, but I knew they were trying to get my bike right when the first guy put his hands on me. It all happened so fast, but it seemed like it lasted for 2 mins, when in reality it was like 25seconds. I def felt that my life was in danger, they were yelling "kick his ass" all these factors made me do what I did. This isn't the first time this has happened to me (getting jumped for my skateboard when I was younger). My neighborhood isn't too bad, but it has its bad parts. I don't always carry a firearm where I go, only when I go to shady places by myself for situations just like this one, even though I don't have a CC permit, I'd rather be armed and not die than die. Pulling out a pistol is the LAST option, and I ran out of options. To those that wouldn't have done what I have (from the other board that someone linked me to) are idiots. You would rather lose your $3500 bike, and get the snot beat out of you, and not only that, but lose your dignity? Forget that. Those guys got what they deserved, they were lucky that I'm a quick thinker and I didn't shoot one of them. I hope they learned their lesson. In a way, I'm sort of glad it happened to me and not to some poor old man or something, I was prepared and these guys underestimated me.

This will make me think twice about riding through dark parking lots.
