Can I project mine onto you too?Project your drinking problem on me, alrighty then!
Anyone who thinks coons can't pose a threat haven't seen a pissed off coon!And since the stupid has shown up in this thread, I must also apparently clarify that I would not have discharged my weapon in city limits for a raccoon. My dad was joking about shooting the coon. He's retired law enforcement and is well aware of the limitations of discharging a weapon.
Really didn't think that I had to explain this, but, here we are.
Well, don't be quite so hard on yourself. Here's the thing.....it was a raccoon. Raccoons are pretty damn smart. That's why you didn't have a confrontation. He just wanted to leave. I'm gonna go out on a limb here, and guess that if there had been a real threat, the booze and soda would have hit the ground, and you'd have taken appropriate action. My only concern is the very idea that anyone would consider shooting a raccoon that isn't attacking anyone......unless you've got a good fricassee raccoon recipe.My girlfriend and I drove to my parent's house for card night around 7pm. When we pulled into their drive, I noticed the garage door was open, which is odd since dad is a retired Chief of Police and never leaves anything unsecured, even in the low-crime town he lives in. He and mom were getting ready to make their annual trek down to Arizona for the winter, so the RV and truck were in the driveway. I pulled off to the side by the Jeep shed and we got out.
I had brought two bottles of whiskey and a 2-liter bottle of coke and had my hands full as we started walking across the driveway in front of the open garage door. My girlfriend was about 20' behind me and carrying items. I had just made it to the front porch when I heard my girlfriend scream.
As I turned, I saw the biggest raccoon running out of the open garage right in front of her and headed straight for me.
It made a sharp turn at the last second and ran across the yard and over the fence into the neighbor's yard.
I couldn't have gotten my gun out in time, even if my hands were empty. Good thing that coon was not aggressive, lol.
We went inside and told my folks what had happened and my dad asked why didn't I shoot it; I was carrying after all. I told him I would have had to drop the whiskey I brought for him to even get a shot off. He accepted that response and said that's why you always leave your gun hand free.
I thought the whole thing was hilarious, but a good reminder of how you should always be ready when carrying.
Dumb shat!
There's drinking and then there's drinking to get blind drunk. One or two sorta sweet drinks to get a buzz or a little smoothed out... no problem. But I'm not 16-20 anymore, not gonna get blitzed on sweet drinks or any other adult beverage.
Those nights when my GF drank Sloe Gin Fizz and then barfed it all up... gone! We grew up...
This is a great reason to make the wife carry everything. Sorry honey, gotta keep the hands free just in case!
Good move!!!
In North Carolina, it is not uncommon to shoot water moccasins that get or drop into the boat.
Yeah, I'll have been dating my girlfriend for two years on New Years Eve. She remarked to me the other day that she's only seen me drunk twice while we've been dating. Once when we were camping (worst hangover ever after two bottles of Moscato ) and once earlier this summer when I lost track and had 5 mixed drinks in 3 hours while watching TV. I really dislike getting drunk. It takes a couple of days to get over the hangovers at my age.I was stationed at GITMO Cuba during the missile crisis, and we had one guy who regularly drank Sloe Gin Fizzes, and invariably barfed red all over his white uniforms. He was a regular alcoholic and I watched him drink after shave lotion straight from the bottle, after returning to the barracks from the enlisted men's club drunk on his adz.
Drunkest I ever got that I remember was on over proof white rum down with the guys from Jamaica that worked on the base, they would
take the hop down to visit family & etc. and would bring it back with them when they returned. These were all black guys with british accents, and it was a funny combination to a guy who grew up in AZ and hardly ever heard that combination before. The were some of the nicest guys on the whole base! They got a big kick out of putting me on the base back to my barracks, I think they poured me on. LOL
That was me on the right!
Yeah rum will sneak up on me.

Pendleton is a blended whiskey very similar to Crown Royal in taste.
I prefer bourbon. Especially cask proof. Like strong flavors.
Rare Breed, Bookers, etc.
If I need my gun and something's in my hand, it would be dropped like a hot potato.
You sir are the King of all racons.Not the direction I saw this going lol, but way better, and I can relate. Last winter my little terrier was outside and started making "I am being murdered" noises. I ran outside with my Glock and light, when I saw the king of all racons dragging the dog across the yard. I ran at it, and when it dropped the dog I shot it five time with Ranger 147 T series, super dead. Needless to say when I put it in a five gallon bucket it was so large that its butt and tail were hanging out. It was a good solid 6 gallons of racon. This was the second time in 14 years I got to use my CCW.
Do you patch the hull regularly?

1) A coon in the city limits that wasn't approaching me would be left to run. One looking like it wanted a chunk of me or another person would be killed immediately!
A coon that charges you is likely rabid. Proceed accordingly.
Actually, this ROE works for just about any potentially dangerous critter, rabid or not.
which could give one a hangover that made suicide seem like a good idea.
