My wife and I were leaving a bar/club in downtown charlotte years ago when we were jumped. Some dude grabbed my wife' s purse and she resisted so I turned to fight him. was whooping him pretty good when his buddy that I didn't see came up behind me and stabbed me numerous times with a pocketknife. Mostly flesh wounds but one of my lungs was knicked and I spent some time in the hospital like 10 days before my wedding. I also wasn't allowed to scuba on our honeymoon.

So no, I wasn't talking fluff, I was defending my then fiance and got sucker stabbed. Both went to jail, both are now out of jail, but I live 750 miles away now.

If I had my carry I would of shot both of those low life's in the face and slept like a baby because the world would of been a safer place because of it. But I was drinking and bars don't allow firearms in NC anyways. I think a thread about the incident is in the archives if you are bored enough to look it up.
