Hello Folks

Post by Ticky » Thu Nov 20, 2008 9:36 pm

Hi Folks!

I am from Bangalore and in the transport business. I have always had the craze for guns since my childhood. Seen a few of my friend's and their family's guns which added to my fetish for guns. None of my family members own guns and I might just be the first one to do so and not because of my fetish for guns, but because of an incident which made me feel the need for it.

I have been going through this forum ever since I've applied for my arms licence and find it very interesting and informative. Kudos to the people who have had the thought and made the effort of launching this forum for enthusiastics like us.

The incident I was talking about was a robbery case on a highway where I was attacked by about eight people armed with wooden sticks and knives at around 2:30 to 3:15 in the morning. They broke the front wind shield and the side door glass of my car and pulled me out. One held me at knife point whereas the others kept hitting me with rough surfaced wooden logs and sticks. Finally, they got away with cash and valuables worth about 2 lacks.

... Man ... thats a scary and bad experience.
I know of a friend who had a similar experience and is now suffering (for the past 3 years) with paralysis waist below!
Glad your episode was only a loss of money :)
