Last night I called off work to go to a local bar to see a band I really like play, my girlfriend was with me, my two friends from Moorehead, KY. (this was in Charleston, WV BTW) and one of their friends. So were standing outside, well its still inside, you walk through these wooden doors then there is this open area where you can go upstairs to the real bar (its 21+) or enter the downstairs bar and concert area which is 18+ (im 20 BTW). So we were standing in this open area talking to the bassist of the band we went to see and the bouncers tell us to go inside cause other bars are letting people out and if they see us they may want to try and get in and they werent letting any more people in. Its about 3am at the time.
So we go inside and the band we came to see went onstage to do a jam thing with another band. During this one of the bouncers went racing to the door, and at the time i was pretty close to the door. maybe 20 feet from the entrance to the little open space in the front i talked about. And these two big guys (ill leave it at that) were starting trouble at the door. one of em was about 350-400 pounds (not fat but just BIG, ya know), and the other about 250 id say. so I kept watching and they started shoving then it looked like it calmed down, one of the bouncers came inside told them to kill all the speakers and turn the house lights on, two guys were holding up cell phones, i guess talking to 911 and them recording every thing.
Then all of a suddon the one bouncer and the big guy get into it and the bouncer was on him long enough to get him to the ground then the shut the doors and press against em with all they got to lock em and keep the guys out and they started yelling every one to the back! And then i heard they had a gun. I made sure my friends were going, i thought I had my gf but it was my friend, so i stopped and got her and made sure i had ahold of her and ran to the back. Every one stopped at the stage area,, which if they shot through the door they would have been hit. I went pass the stage and into the bands area and loading dock thing they have for the bands, me and some of the band we were going the back door tell the guys outside to get in, lock the door, make sure there is no other way in.
then we talked to one of the bouncers and they said the guy pulled a gun, and this bouncers are big mean guys, one guy is like the state ultimate cage fighter guy. he said he might have gotten one shot off but not too was he wouldna got his trakia (sp?). But the big guy did fire 1 or 2 shots. someepopel said they heard three, but he only fired them in the air was he walked away aroudn the corner. I guess showing his dominance?
But they police came and arrested both guys as they got into their car. No one was hurt, but it left every one pretty shaken up. And that was a really stupid reason to pull a gun. Cause they wouldnt let you in a bar at 3am after the other ones are closed? Seriously. Im just glad no one got hurt. The guys in the band we came to see said in 5 years of playing nothing like that has ever happened. I mean for christ sakes, its charleston, wv! but that just goes to show that this crap happens every where. I mean i know charleston isnt a safe heaven by any stretch, but i thought it was safe enough from that crap.
This just further reinforces why I am getting a Springfield Armory XD45 in a month when i turn 21 and a permit to carry sometime after. (Yeah i know i nths sutation pulling a gun would have been stupid, but you all know what im getting at). but yeah, just figured id share this with yall. Im going back out tonight to see the same band in huntington (about 30 miles away) last time they will be around here foir a while before they start doing a national tour. Id give band names and such, but im sure yall dont wanna hear that, lol.
keep safe.
