"To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last.

Date: 05-27-09, 1:43 A M EST.

I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on my girlfriend and me, threatening our lives.

You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings.

I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message.

First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment when I drew my pistol after you took my Jacket. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.

My girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening.

Obviously you agree that it is a very Intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, wasn't it?

I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from bare footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. [That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again].

After I called your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I Went and filled up my gas tank as well as four other people's in the gas station on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful!

I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!]

I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car.

Later, I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell phone. Ma Bell just now shut down the line, although I only used the phone for a little over a day now, so what's going on with that?

Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target. The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number, etc).

In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider the career path you've chosen to pursue in life.

Remember, next time you might not be so lucky.

Have a good day!

Thoughtfully yours,
Alex

An armed society makes for a more civil society
I carry- have 33 years exp with firearms.
Only ever had to pull my weapon once, but there have been many situations that I was glad it was there concealed.

Too funny If this was real. Unfortunately our neighbor NJ does not allow people to carry. It has some of the higher gun violence stats and I believe that the reason is that the criminals know the citizenry are unarmed.
A few weeks ago a couple lost their live over their land rover - I can only think
of how it would have been different if the victim was armed and competent with a weapon of his own, as most criminals are horrible marksmen.

[ZYFER]

I'd agree. Either make it legal to carry or make them illegal entirely. Ofcourse making all guns illegal doesn't change anything now, it is too late. Criminals aren't going to follow the law and there are too many undocumented guns in circulation.

I do think that there should be restrictions on gun sales. People should be required to actually take a course on handling it properly and using it. Nothing worse than someone pulling a weapon to defend someone, only being a horrible shot and hitting the people they are trying to protect.

I mean you have to pass a test showing some sort of proficiency at knowing how to drive a car, does it really seem so crazy that guns shouldn't follow suit on that?
