To the Guy Who Mugged Me Downtown (Downtown,
Savannah)

I was the white guy with the black Burberry jacket that you demanded I hand over shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I hope you somehow come across this message.

I'd like to apologize. I didn't expect you to crap your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that evening, and it wasn't that cold outside. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber 1911 .45 ACP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh? It's a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it?

I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me.

I couldn't have you calling up any of your buddies to come help you try to mug us again.

I took the liberty of calling your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your situation.

I also bought myself some gas on your card.

I gave your shoes to one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go's, along with all of the cash in your wallet, then I threw the wallet itself in a dumpster.

I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cell. They'll be on your bill in case you'd like to know which ones.

Alltel recently shut down the line, and I've only had the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your service. I was about to make some threatening phone calls to the DA's office with it. Oh well.

So, about your pants. I know that I was a little rough on you when you did this whole attempted mugging thing, so I'd like to make it up to you. I'm sure you've already washed your pants, so I'd like to help you out. I'd like to reimburse you for the detergent you used on the pants. What brand did you use, and was it liquid or powder?

I'd also like to apologize for not killing you and instead making you walk back home humiliated. I'm hoping that you'll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky.

If you read this message, email me and we'll do lunch and laundry. Peace!

amen...WE SHOULD ALL CARRY

I personally don't believe everyone should carry.

There are some individuals who do not have the ability to handle a deadly weapon safely and responsibly. There are others who are responsible and have the skills...but do not have the ability to take another life, even when justified. These people should not carry. They would be better served with pepper spray or taser, even though these alternates are far less effective. Hopefully these individuals have a spouse who can carry and provide protection.

For those with the training and skills, who have the ability to make hard choices involving life or death and can live with the consequences of their decsions...yes... get a CCW license and carry responsibly.

For concealed carry to be a deterrent to crime, not all need to carry. Just some. The problem for the bad guys is figuring who is and who is not. The more people who do carry...the better the chances that when in a group of people faced with a threat of violence...someone in the group will have the ability to stop the threat before any innocent individuals are harmed.

Just my $.02...
