With all the trouble and problems Fud has I think we need to take up a collecton for a bodyguard for him.We want to keep him safe so he can continue to post here.
Then again maybe we shouldn't.We would loose too many good posts.Well it was a thought!

FUD sounds like he's jinxed. Hey FUD, make sure you wear a big sign identifying yourself so next time I'm down that way I can stay the hell away from you.
 
Maybe Queen Rosie can help us out in hiring good personal bodyguards?

Barf. Sorry, I can't help but vomit on hearing that name.

Rosie for congress. Faint.
 
I would consider my recent experiences a "walk in the park" when compared to what happened to me about a dozen and a half years ago ...

I was employed as an armed security guard in a state/community where they had very strict gun laws. I was licensed to carry a firearm only in the course of my employment. I no longer recall all of the details but once I left my assignment, my gun had to be unloaded and I could not have both a gun and any bullets on my person (unless they were in the box that I bought them in).

The local police did periodic spot checks and rumor had it that some guards were caught with bullets either on them or in their guns. Not really sure if they were arrested and charged but I do know that their license to carry was revoked and without a license, they could no longer continue to work as an armed security guard. Additionally, I was just recently accepted into the state police academy and a gun-related arrest would have been less than acceptable. So, I obeyed the law to the letter.

One night after work as I was walking to my car, I noticed three men trying to sneak up on me from different directions. One was armed with a knife, a second one had a metal pipe and a third had a bike chain. I recognized one of the individuals as someone that I had a problem with a few days earlier and it appeared that he now came back with a couple of friends to "even the score".

As they got closer, I drew my gun. That caused them to pause for several seconds, but once they realized that I wasn't going to shoot them, thinking that I didn't have the guts, they moved in for the kill. I had the guts to fire but no actual bullets to send their way. To make a long story short as this is something that I don't like to talk about too much, I got stabbed and ended up losing half of my large intestine.

Due to health complications, I was no longer physically fit enought to perform all of the duties required of an LEO and my LE career went down the drain before it even got started.

On that faithful night, I could have definitely used a bodyguard ... or ... a loaded firearm. Best regards to all, FUD.
 
FUD,

Once again we have a wonderful example of gun control saving lives. If the gun had been loaded you might have shot and killed one or all of those men. If that had happened they would not have been able to continue to maim, kill and rob. Nothing is more effective at preserving the lives of violent felons than gun control.

Many of you folks think FUD's experiences are unusual. I say, welcome to South Florida! There is a reason why the Florida legislature passed the Jack Hagler Self Defense Act of 1987 making Florida a Shall Issue CCW state. That reason is violent criminals.
 
Fud, my friend, you are an ENDLESS source of interesting experiences and great stories -- which are serious and thought provoking to our community.

Thanks and warm regards.
 
Fud, I really enjoy your stories. You have a most vivid imagination and provide interesting scenerios for the forum to discuss.
 
Fud needs the services of:

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI>A full-time medical team that can stuff his guts back in when he's stabbed. They can also give him a tetanus shot. :)

<LI>A full-time personal real estate attorney licensed to practice in Florida, and who can deal with his HOA.

<LI>His own gunbearer who can, if stopped by the police, absorb a weapons charge.

</UL>

FUD, what a bummer of an experience to go through. Heres hoping there are no more BGs in your future. Stay safe, and prepared. Regards.

You need to add something to your signature line. Something like.....

FUD - THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA..to stand next to. :)

Or perhaps something a little more humble....

I dont carry a 3rd back-up gun anymore, the 2nd back-up only comes in handy once a month or so.
 
FUD,

You shoulda got Jennifer Lopez to take the beef for you, no pun intended. Worked for Puff Daddy.

You also need the services of that gator guy from Oz, Steve Irwin. ("Here's the croc ol' FUD shot eight months ago. Cracky!! 'E still looks good and mad. I better tag him. FUD! You hold 'is back legs, mite.")

Regards,

Ledbetter
 
Mike,

You missed Fud's need for Crocodile Dundee (or the crazy croc guy on TV) to deal with his occasional intruders from the Florida swamps.

Best regards.
 
In FUD, we have our own equivalent of Al Capp's "Joe Btzyflk" of the "Lil Abner" comic strip. Joe had a little black cloud that followed him everywhere, always bringing trouble.

FUD needs a magic umbrella!

I dunno, Art. I have a good paying job (it isn't a GREAT paying job because my wife also has to work in order for us to make ends meet but she has a arrangement similar to mine) that let's me work from home 3 (sometimes 4) days out of the week. I get to spend time with my baby daughter all day long and watch her as she grows instead of just seeing her for a few hours in the evening after work and on week-ends. I don't have to punch a timeclock and I pretty much set my own work hours (unless there is a meeting scheduled with a customer). As long as our data centers are operational and the deliverables from my team are on time or ahead of schedule, nobody checks up on me. Sometimes I may have to go into the office and work 20, 30 or even 40 hours straight without taking a break but those are the trade-offs. I think I have a lot of blessings to count -- remember, every dark cloud has a silver lining.
