Okay! story time!
*sits down*

So me and my wife had decided to take a night out, and have some fun at the local drinking establishment, it was a friday night and we both wanted to go drinking. all is going well, I'm enjoying myself, she is as well. so I get up from our table, and go to get another round for us, a Screwdriver for her, and some rum & coke on rocks for me. I start talking to a friend I happened to see, and glance at our table while talking to see some douche canoe trying to hit on my wife.

 I'd normally think nothing of it, as my wife can handle her own, and has before with random douchebags trying to hit on her. the guy was average build, nothing to scoff at, but she could handle it, he also wore some fruity necklace and I saw the gleam of some ear rings later on, he was the very definition of a rich douchebag, anyways, she clearly isn't having it when I notice the guy's cronies walking up on the table, one of them was a slim guy, a featherweight who could be quick on his feet, the other two almost looked like bouncers with the way they were built, one in a black wife beater, and the other in a blue t-shirt. I then realize what they were doing and tell my friend to hold onto my drinks for me, and go to intervene. my wife can handle her own, but not against these guys.

I walk up on our table and kindly tell them to back off, sit back down, and enjoy their nights. the douche then says "No, you can fuck off cuz I'll fucking wreck you and then take you for everything you own,"

 Now, I WAS buzzed at the time, and had a bit of liquid courage in me, so I reply,
"Ok, well this IS my table, so please leave my wife alone before I have to throw you and your cronies out of here myself."

He then says, "OH, we've got a tough guy here! well, why don't we take this outside so I can whoop your ass and take your girl the easy way!"

I reply," Fuck that, just fuck off dude, I don't want to kick your ass in front of your friends, it'll be humiliating for you tough guy."

He gets up in a huff and smacks the back of my head trying to start something, no feedback, so he hits me again...
he does it again...
and again...

Finally I snap, "Alright, if you're so fucking hellbent on it, we'll fucking go into the side lot." they walk out with grins on their faces, and we pursue.

 so we walk up on the side lot, and all four of them are getting ready to fight. I say "Ok, 4 of them at once, might wanna back off a bit dear, in case things go sour, so you can get out quickly and call the cops."

What I'm about to write is an approximation of events that followed, from what I saw in the fray, and what my wife saw.

in greentext form. (sorry)

>Walk up
>We gonna do this? -douchebag
> yes -me
>His one bouncer guy in the blue shirt runs at me with a drunken swing over arm
>catch his arm, knee to balls
>he keels over, bouncer 2 in wife beater comes in, I parry, and punch him clean in the jaw
>he's still fucking coming
>punched in the stomach, flinch
>punch the guy clearly in the nose, he's bleeding
>Blue shirt tries to get back up, I kick him in the stomach as he's trying to get up, no prisoners when you start shit w/ me
>Hear the rattle of a chain
>thin guy's got a god damn bike chain in his pocket... dafuq, these guys aren't fighting for fun anymore, it's for keeps now.
>Clocked over the head with the god damn chain. wife noticed the black shirt guy's wallet fell out of his pocket.
>now facing chain guy
>he goes for another hit, but I catch the chain.
>Pull him into a punch to the throat, wife sees douchebag walking up on me with a knife
>Dumbass decides "going for a vital area? fuck that, here, I'll stab your arm and try to cut the arm open."
>I realize games are fucking over, this guy is here to kill
>back off, use my good arm to pull my pistol (I only ever have one shot in there, in case shit DOES go down and he charges
>He, and his cronies all fucking run back to the Mercedes he was driving, it was an SLS (See? he WAS a rich douche!)
>Wife comes up to me, calling the cops and shit
>3 minutes of terror, and my wife bitching at me about how she "could've handled it", and how I was an idiot for stepping in

(no more greentexting)
Cops finally show up, explain everything (cop's a little pissed about me pulling the pistol, but saw it was the right thing to do in the situation and commends me for not firing.) and he asks who they were, and my wife remembers the guy losing his wallet, and the guy has all his info in there. I was lucky as shit as the cops have a face, AND the car they should be looking for. So now the ambulance has showed up, I'm getting looked at, when my wife asks the cops about what we can do once the guy is caught. cop replies " assault charges, he CAN get a jail sentence, but you'll most likely get compensation in the form of sweet "stab cash" (as he put it.)

Now they've caught him, and I've got a court date for the 18th of September for this... and my arm's all patched up... I can still drive and do my job, but the cut was pretty nasty, he had some stupid spike things on his knife, so they tore up the end of the 5 inch long gash in my arm, it ended up with the blade going in a half-inch to my arm, and the bruises from the chain didn't exactly help my condition



TL DR- I got shanked in a fight with a douche bad trying to hit on my wife. pulled my pistol as a last resort and now I'm suing the shit out of the douche for shanking me on the 18th.

Point of topic- Post yer own stories about injury/fights, and AMA bout the thing that happened!

Kill them all, Johnny.

wonder what was going through the kid's mind when he did it.

I went to a god awful middle school. Someone I knew died the next year from a stab wound in the abdomen.

Jesus! that's sketchy as fuck dude. only person who died in my middle school was the sorry kid born with cancer... he fought it off twice, but  it formed in his brain.

Woah, that's pretty fucked.


Incur any medical costs, or were you covered by some insurance stuff?

Canada has free healthcare, and I'm suing for the loss in pay. I had a fucking race this weekend, and me not being there could cut me out around $3000.

Damn, that's fucking badass. Don't listen to the inevitable hippies here who will tell you that you shouldn't have pulled the gun. Someone pulls a knife on you, it's not a fight anymore, it's a crime.

exactly my thought process, I can't risk a fight with him wielding a knife, and certainly with my wife in the fray.

Either your wife is one fine ass woman (no disrespect), or they have a death wish to rush a gun for some pussy.

if they rush the first bullet, the others will rush as well m8, 1 shot, 4 guys. I was lucky they weren't that drunk and weren't stupid enough to fight further.

They don't know you have one bullet, and I highly doubt they're going to rush a gun.

You did get lucky, though. That's for sure. Make sure to keep a fully loaded mag because an unloaded gun will just make things worse. You're escalating the situation without the firepower to maintain your safety.

It is quite the gamble either way, and I know... the reason I wasn't running full was because I forgot to check my mag before we went out. I wasn't expecting a stand off at all.

Wow, that's pretty badass :3
Hooray for Canada healthcare!!!
