Assaulted by a paint ball gun...

TrekDedicated · #1 03-27.-2006

Well, today, while riding, I was shot at by at least one punk kid with paintball gun.

He/she was waiting, hidden in the woods for someone like myself to come by. Luckily for me, I was cranking it and the idiot didn't know how to shoot so I only got hit twice. One of the welts actually bled.

So I called the police and there is now an assault case.

I mean, honestly, are people in that much need of a power trip to cause harm to innocent people?

I'm lucky I didn't get hit more and/or swerve with a car near me...

Needless to say, I will find out who did this...

Maybe you should carry a gun for protection while you cycle.

Ouch. I'd be pissed off beyond words.

What a dickwad, that's terrible. I enjoyed paintball a lot as a kid, but parents should really supervise their kids with these things or stuff like this happens.

If you go to Wake, it wouldnt be the first time for that area. I was shot at with a friend last winter around Christmas right outside of Kernersville. Dont expect the cops to do anything about it, they generally despise cyclists in the area...

If some punk kid (although i am a kid) shot at me randomly id throw my 10 ten reynolds RB at them. It would be smart though to carry a 9mm with you when you ride....

I think this is the next evolution of throwing eggs or snowballs at cars. As far as Tasers, they go about 7-10meters. I think paintball guns go alot further. And I know that today's paintball guns can do a lot of damage, but I'd hate to be on the wrong side, trying to explain to a jury why I shot someone who was armed with a paintball gun. Or course this is coming from someone who recently dropped his bike and chased down a carload of kids who threw something at me.
TrekD, glad you're OK. Take care.

Tasers can be deadly too. A shock like that can start the heart, or stop it, it goes both ways. And, at anything under about 15 feet, youre not going to hit anything with it.

I am frequently surprised at the number of people who seem to feel that it's necessary to carry a fire arm with them all of the time.
