You’re a mom on an evening walk with your 6-year-old son and you are suddenly approached “aggressively” by a man who exposes himself and then suggests that you stand there and watch what’s next, so what do you do?
In Longview, a Clark County community near Vancouver along the I-5 corridor, you reach into your pocket, pull out your Ruger .380 ACP semiautomatic, and tell the fellow rather bluntly, “You need to leave or I’ll shoot you. I’m going to blow your brains out.”
The fellow left, with the woman’s Norwegian Behund Hound hot on his heels. According to the Longview Daily News, the unidentified woman hadn’t carried her gun in the past to the park, but this time around she brought it along because it was foggy and dark, and she “just had a feeling.”
KVI’s John Carlson had quite a chat about this incident Friday morning with Portland’s Lars Larson, the syndicated conservative talk host who has latched onto this story due to its proximity. The incident happened at Lake Sacajawea near the Martin Dock, and the sleazebag who apparently did this may just be a known sex offender.

a lot of times the guys who choose to do this have absolutely prodigious parts, and that’s why they do it
Ah for a return to those glorius days of yesteryear. My dad was a cop in the 50’s and the result would have been the same Where did it all go so wrong.
True story from my dad’s era told to me by his partner at my dad’s funeral: My dad was testifying in traffic court before the magistrate about the guy he had brought in. Both were standing before the bench. The guy blerted out: your lying and spit at him. My dad leveled him in front of the judge. The judge, after looking a bit uneasy, banged his gavel and said: proceed. Today he would still be in jail and would have lost all his assets in a civil suit.
Usually the standard is a reasonable person standard - how would a reasonable person under the circumstances defend himself/herself. Again GENERALLY, women are physically weaker than men but as always there are exceptions.
I am an old and frail man these days. I need .357 to protect myself, do you think the law would take this into account?
This happened to my wife,about 20 years ago.She looked at him and laughed.
True, but would the flasher be patient enough to wait for the woman to dig though the 40 pounds of stuff in her purse to find the spray?
Yes, but all circumstances would need to be taken into account including what type of threat and the law of your particular state.
Target practice.
I wouldn't feel threatened by that. Repulsed and mentally scarred - yeah... but not threatened.
“Point and laugh...”
I laughed at your comment because a family friend of ours did the very same thing you defined. She was sitting in a park (in the daytime)... reading. A man approached and opened up his coat to reveal.. well, you know. She pointed and started laughing OUT LOUD! Then she yelled, “Look how little his _____ is!” He burst into tears and ran away. Now, I’m not saying this is the best approach to a situation like this but in this particular case.. she had the last laugh. Hugs to you, Tenn Nana.
Combine that with a Bic lighter and you've really got something special.
I have a female cousin who is 6’, 200lb and threw the discuss in the Olympics this year. I would love to see this perv try something with her.
From Wikipedia,
The Norwegian Buhund is a breed of dog of the spitz type. It is closely related to the Icelandic Sheepdog and the Jämthund. The name Buhund is derived from the Norwegian word "bu" which means farm, homestead or mountain hut, where the shepherd lived while looking after his herd in the summer. The Buhund is used as an all purpose farm and herding dog, as well as watch dog.Photo below for illustrative purposes (i.e., not her particular pooch). Good dog!
Suppose it was HELEN THOMAS. Talk about a life-threatening situation...
as you get your gun out with the other hand."
Dang....beat me right to it, LOL.
Laugh and point.

Pointing and laughing will only send them over the top and they’re likely to come back for revenge. Best to shoot it off and save future victims.

BBQ and the smell of burning hair.
