If you rocked jewelry and someone had the drop on you and told you to give up your chain.....

Yup. I’ll even put it on for them and tell them to watch out for 12.

This is a really try hard post. nikkas who are vic'd multiple times have the reputation as sweet, finally doing something to someone after being vic'd multiple times only means you were tired of being vic'd...

I think you missed the whole chronological order of how shyt went. I ain’t gotta try hard about shyt. I’m damn near 40yrs old champ and been in hoods all over this country. I ain’t gonna sit here and act like I took nothing but dubs for the internet. Call it what you want but nikkas ain’t running up on me if they know better. I can’t control if they don’t know better. That’s why nikkas don’t really move around like that. Stay in they own hood, in their own city. Or be church mouse whenever they do venture out. I be wherever I feel like being whether I should be or not. That shyt comes with checks and balances. Thats life. Anybody that was on shyt, already know that. Lacking is lacking chief. Best you can do is not get caught doing it. You stay posting how you was a street nikka and hustled so I don’t know how you don’t know this. I ain’t Superman. And I wasn’t always strapped when I should’ve been. If the most someone can say about me is someone TRIED to rob me 3 times after as many years i was on count and as much shyt as I’ve gotten into, and out of the 3, 1 got slumped, the other got beat and the last got a purse off the bytch I was with? I’ll take that L. I’m cool with that. Y’all worried about the wrong thing.

yep. Wear it health

Once you learn how guns work, it's really not that crazy. Guns don't accidently go off. Something has to pull the trigger. I do have a hammer fired trigger but I do not carry that without a holster. I rarely carry that thing.

Always have one in the chamber. I have a couple guns with safety, a couple without. I don't really like having the safety because the only time I ever turn it on is when I remove the mag, unload the chamber and put it away. When you only have less than a second to shoot, using it to turn off your safety will have you dead. Same with racking the slide. And some people take the safety off and rack the slide. If you have that much time to take the safety off and rack the slide you could've done something else, like turn and run or throw a punch, a kick something.

If someone is holding you down or choking you, repeatedly punching you or slamming your head, you're not drawing your gun, taking the safety off even with one hand, then racking the slide. If anything I can see pulling it out with one in the chamber and removing the safety and firing with one hand but even that's too much.

What I did, was I had a glock 19, it was empty mag and unloaded, I racked it so it could "dry fire" if the trigger was pulled. I'd rock it in my jacket, pants pocket, coat, for nearly 2 months and every night before I went to bed, I'd pull the trigger and sure enough, it would click aka dry fire. So at no point whether it was in my pants, shorts, jacket, coat was there ever any accidental fires or anything. It was at that time I was comfortable with 1. Always having a round in the chamber and 2. Not using a safety, and 3 carrying unholstered.

I did learn which jackets, pants and shorts I could and couldn't rock. I have a pair of sweats as well as some jackets, the pockets aren't deep enough or are positioned weird so the gun falls out when I sit on my couch, sit in my car, get out of my car, get off the couch, etc. There was a time, I got out of my car in the rain, I got in the house and I was like "damn, left my gun in the car, it was sitting in my grass next to my driveway, fell out. I dropped the gun (unloaded) getting out of the car (fell out) it's fallen out of those pockets on the hard kitchen floor, never had any trigger pulls or accidental dry fires.

So personally, from my own extensive experiences as well as years of carrying loaded chamber and without safety and with different makes, models and sizes , it's my informed opinion that guns don't go off unless the trigger is pulled. But that's me, I've heard of guns that have had recalls and people that have had 'accidents' but I've done thorough testing with the pistols I own to make sure that's not the case. Because that's for my safety. I can't have my gun accidently go off, while carrying and sitting on the couch with my family or at the movies or a football game or driving.

Other than that a holster with trigger guard, is the best option.

semi auto gonna jam in ya pocket

I didn't say I didn't know or understand anything. No doubt, though...

Give it up, when they run off grab a rock and throw at their head

While they’re recovering, grab my chain and run

I might even drop it and act real scared and hope youre dumb enough to excitedly reach for it..

Bruh people get robbed all the time. That's no exaggeration, I literally mean ALL THE TIME. Robberies are way, way, way more commonplace than murders. So everyone getting stuck up isn't getting that lick back by killing someone, that's actually not that common...

I'm saying this because you asked "how do you handle it as a man". There's various ways to handle it, there is no one way. I will say if you become a target and get hit more than five times, you probably need to kill someone or leave the streets. But plenty of the nikkas you guys consider the hardest you've ever known have been stuck up and no one got bodied behind it...

yea the shyt has nothing to do with ego or manhood. it boils down to wrong place wrong time. I know a guy who got juxed a minute ago who stays strapped in his own apartment building. They disarmed him and busted his head open and cleaned him out. He's no punk by any means. Carrying a gun did not give him ANY advantage. He lost his money, phone, jewelry, and gun. All he was left with was a gang of stitches and doesn't even know what happened.

Guns often give people a false sense of security, fr fr.

Part of my issue with American gun culture is the amount of fake tough guys gun ownership creates. If somebody lines you right it doesn't matter how many guns you've got on you, it literally doesn't matter...

Many, many, many nikkas have lost their lives while having their gun(s) on em; many guys were robbed having their piece on em just like your boy. If someone intends to kill you and pulls first, it doesn't matter what you have on you. Staying strapped isn't an impenetrable forcefield from violence, and guys who play in the streets with the assumption most others are strapped as well, it really isn't all that much of a deterrent...

Which leads into all my other issues with gun culture; the answer to gun violence is not to give more dummies guns and easier access to attaining them. More nikkas who can't shoot owning them, more nikkas who have been trained to shoot and feel empowered because of it, more cats with guns who've never used them in live scenarios who think they are prepared for a live situation because they can shoot, or because "I stay strapped"...

When I got robbed, I was in my driver seat and my pistol was in my trunk. I made many deals with my shyt on my lap, with my shyt under my shirt/waistband, and many deals without having it on my person at all. I let a guy into my passenger seat, then another guy came out the blue and opened my door and put his up to my head. Having my gun out and on display probably wouldn't have saved me from getting robbed right then, abd may have gotten me killed since I'm sure I'd have tried to pop, in that case it would have been whether I could aim and squeeze quicker than the guy who had his gun on my head already...

I also used to rob people further back, and everyone I robbed was a dealer, I never scoped for innocent people who weren't in the streets. Exceptions to every rule but in general, dudes arent pressing their luck with guys they know will kill them, they gonna give it up, because as I've said many times, veteran jackers aren't sleeping, if you make any indication there's some fight in you, they're nullifying the threat...

So just to reiterate something I've already stated:

I once thought I was tough for carrying too, for having shot, robbed, beat up cats with reputations; I dont carry at all now. I'm not afraid of other men, men with guns dont scare me and DEFINITELY do not impress me, and I'm 100% of the belief that the popularity with "staying strapped" is in part rooted to people being fearful of other human beings, and grown ass adults having shytty conflict resolution skills and arrested development emotionally.

I'm not aloof to how I should respond in conflict, Ive also experienced enough conflict that I'm pretty self-aware on how to avoid situations, and how to respond appropriately in sutuations that don't require escalation. Met all the personalities you interact with in that lifestyle. Guns are absolutely a defense shield that guys wear to appear a certain way, and plenty of scenarios bring the true self out of them. Not necessarily robberies because plenty of solid dudes get robbed, but the topic of "staying strapped" and feeding more and more guns to people, that shyt is wack...

bless. real cowboy shyt. most of the gun crazy people I know like you stated are softer than baby shyt. they may be marksmen but physically play doh. It wouldn't be to hard to disarm them and whip their ass with their own piece.

first time I went to an open carry state the only dudes displaying were old CACs or sloppy MFers. Its a stereotype I have but fukk it was true from my experience. that gun makes them feel strong because physically they're not.

I love to shoot and all that but tbh from the people I know guns have caused more harm then good. I know a handful of people who are not shooters and did years for posession.

I never understood it. I was young I dont remember how old exactly but a switch flipped and everyone was on some stay strapped shyt. I didn't get it. I always thought and still feel guns should be for shooters. If you're not about that murdergame why do you need one? You need a gun because you're moving a few bundles...really?
I
'm not violent anymore but if a gun comes out there is no turning back. Its final. People play with that shyt. when we were kids my breh would flash his piece over nothing. never busted. Id try to talk sense to him and he'd play n say some dumb shyt. Sure enough got locked up for posession and other shyt. did a couple calendars for what?

 

[Bumblebreh]

Are you gonna give it up?

Are you going to fight?

Or

Are you going to run?

I would ask him if he is insane, and I would hit him in the brain.
I do fire combinations and my punches will light his ass up like a flame.
I would watch him stumble and run like he missed the last train

 

[ItzRailT]

Give it up, but I remember as a youngin when I ask my dad for chain for my birthday think I was 16 and he told if he got me one he'll have to get me a gun as well needless to say I haven't brought or rock any jewelry a day in my.

This gonna sound like a PSA on my take on guns, posters who been here know how I feel but there aren't enough people on here, on my side of the gun debate . So I dont mind rehashing it here and there...

I wouldn't characterize most gun crazy people as physically soft, but I would say most gun crazy cats are emotionally weak. This is for both gun crazy dudes outside, and gun crazy civilians not in the streets. Their emotional resolve is low, having the hammers on em creates artifical toughness and guys seek out conversations and situations to validate their toughness...

I've told cats before, if every street dude carrying was really a shooter, our murder rate here would be what it is in places like Jamaica or Tijuana and other third world places. Carrying guns gives the illusion "I'm not to be fukked with", but the reality is only a small percentage of nikkas with guns are actual "shooters"; a larger percentage of dudes have shot something before because of circumstance but aren't regarded as shooters (think Jay Z, he shot his brother and may have let something go another time or two but no one whose spoken of Hov characterizes him as a "shooter"). I've mentioned before there are plenty of nikkas with bodies who caught them via circumstance but aren't gun clappers, then there's cats similar to me, I've never killed anyone but that's also circumstantial, and there are people who had the impression I'd knock something down way before dudes who have a verified kill...

It's one of those nuances of the lifestyle that the average person won't be able to grasp because the impression is that all these nikkas outside are running around with guns (which also isn't true, a number of cats are doing illegal shyt in dangerous places without guns, @Sterling Archer alluded to this earlier and I served in many situations without a gun on me); but the impression is because everybody outside has a gun then everybody outside is tearing shyt up...

That entire culture is obviously cancerous and dudes feed the beast until situations arise where guys with guns have to burn em, and everybody isn't cut for that. You learn instead when you actually have to do something...

Lotta dudes get possession charges and aren't shooters, that's a fact. A number of cats with gun charges weren't actually burning em like that, though many were. As a rule though getting caught with guns comes down to recklessness. I have a possession by felon conviction for a gun I was never caught with, have another case I was interrogated about guns I was never caught with. It isn't hard for dudes to NOT get knocked with guns, it never happened to me. Shooters and non-shooters alike get caught by being reckless...

On the legal or civilian side of things, I'll never relate to the obsession with shooting as a sport, and/or being strapped as a hobby, but thats because my introduction to guns didn't come from that. Dudes will tell you it's to "protect" themselves and people around them but vast majority of these cats will never be in a position they ever HAVE to use them, abd these types too underestimate what those scenarios feel like, because they are "marksmen" or whatever. They can't accurately gauge the emotional impact of situations you need to use a gun, which are few, and how fast things move if you're presented a scenario when live bullets fly...

For me personally bro, my experiences carried me away from guns, which is probably uncommon for guys with a similar journey as mine. Part of what happened, when I was still in the streets, is I started making more money and that naturally put me in fewer positions that allowed for shootings to occur. I was keeping different company, and it lowered the risk. Every shooting I ever was involved with is before I was 26 and was when I was closer to street level dealing, associating with street level dealers, killers, robbers, shooters, etc. As a grew around different company, my associations with these personalities declined...

The other thing is when I chose to change how I live, I started seeing less of a usefulness for guns. Obviously anyone can be a random victim of some bullshyt anywhere, but I haven't lived in the hood in a long time, I don't frequent spots that are active, and I don't associate with active cats, and this change occurred organically, as I began doing different shyt I was around different people and places. I never want to harm another person as long as I live, and a piece of that mantra is that I don't keep guns with me. I have one but don't carry it, literally like two people know I have it, it never leaves the house, I don't target practice or none of that shyt, and I'm working on the courage to just toss that muhfukka, have been for a few years...

It really isn't hard to live a gun-free lifestyle, and I'm not one of these people who thinks the only way I can protect myself from a rare, random situation is to grip up and train. I've done well for myself as my life has evolved, done well in raising my daughters, I'm not worried about "crazy cacs" or a random mass shooting or some stray hitting me or some hood nikka picking me as a victim on a random day. I don't live my life in fear of being victimized by anyone or anything, I take appropriate precautions for my and my children's safety and I just haven't found I need guns to do that!

Of course I would give it up, chances are if I bought it once I can buy it again…. Material stuff can come back, your life won’t
