What would you do?

I find that "what would you do" topics are fun. I thought about this one while talking with a friend about what would or wouldn't you do in this situation. He brought up a good one:

You live in a major city. The wto is in town and they are being protested. On the other side of town, the mmm is having a march. Now, all the LEO's and national guard are over at the wto protest, you are counter-marching against the mmm. All of a sudden, a group of ninja come running up to the mmm and start into them with thier swords. Do you (and you are armed):

1) Watch the carnage due to the ninja aren't attacking your group?

2) Shout at the mmm people.. "See, this is a prime reason you need a firearm, to protect yourselves"?

3) Stand back, call the police (who are too busy to show due to the wto protests) and wait?

4) Help the sheeple protect themselves?

5) Put your answer here:

Just wondering.

The MMM demonstrators have made it very clear how they would handle the situation. I would therefore respect their wishes and call the police.

Why should I risk my life in the defense of someone who has shown me animosity.
 
5) WTO is in town??? I'm home, probably behind cover, prone...

... or ...

5) Run to the nearest costume retailer and purchase a ninja suit! :D

"[Even if there would be] few tears shed if and when the Second Amendment is held to guarantee nothing more than the state National Guard, this would simply show that the Founders were right when they feared that some future generation might wish to abandon liberties that they considered essential, and so sought to protect those liberties in a Bill of Rights. We may tolerate the abridgement of property rights and the elimination of a right to bear arms; but we should not pretend that these are not reductions of rights." -- Justice Scalia 1998
 
Only thing to do is call 911, since ninjas are soooo fast they can dodge bullets and even split them in flight with their swords. I know that's true 'cause I saw it in a movie once! :D (Actually, they don't really dodge the bullets, they know a nanosecond before you shoot through some mystical process and remove themselves from the path they know the bullet will take - thought I should clarify that.)

I would most likely wake up in a cold sweat, go to the kitchen and toss out that moonshine I was sippin' the night before... :D

Sir, your remarks are repulsive to me, and I disagree with your viewpoints. But I will defend to my death your God given right to express them.

How many ninja? Can you possibly take them all? Can you take them without endangering the crowd of marchers? Even with a clear line of fire, you might get 2 or 3 ninja with the element of surprise, but unless you spend lots of time polishing your IDPA trophies that's about it.

If you have any doubts about your ability to neutralize all threats without endangering bystanders, you disengage and call 911. By the time the cops get there, the marchers will have finished counseling the ninja on aggressive role-playing syndrome and they will all be weeping so hard their katanas will rust.
 
What an unbeleivable situation. This would probably leave me rooted to the ground in amazement for precious seconds while the ninjas ply thier bloody trade. After which I would defend the "inocent." Just think what a news story this would make for our side - "Gun owner save MMM and is then spit upon by victims." Delicious irony.
 
I wouldn't do anything because those anti-gun weenies would probably file a class action lawsuit claiming that even though I helped them against the ninjas, I didn't help them enough!
 
What time would it be?

NRA? Good. Now join the GOA!

The NRA is our shield, the GOA will be our sword.
 
I would quickly run to the nearest store, purchase a whet stone and open a sidewalk blade sharpening stand.

There would be no reason for me to do anything. The MMM would use the violence resolution training they have received and convince the Ninja that violence was was wrong and that they could talk out their differences. Why, they would even talk the Ninja into selling their swords at the next sword buy-back sponsored by SCI (Sword Contol, Inc.). And as we all know, the police would be on the scene well before one blade could draw blood anyway.

And sell them at the highest price you could get in the open market, I hope ... ;)

Put me down for a ninja suit and sword so I could get in on the fun. Saving any of the MMM wouldn't be worth the cost of the bullets not the time to dial 911.
 
I'd post a help message on Glocktalk hoping to get in touch with "Gecko" the super mall cop, who wears TWO shock plates on each side of his Second Chance vest. No!! Wait a minute!! I just remembered Gecko IS a ninja! He's probably already there with his girl friend who carries the dismantled 300 win H&R handi rifle in her briefcase. They'll swing into action any second now!!! I don't have to do anything! Boy, what a relief! We can just sit back and enjoy the show, no problem, right?
