It would be hard to deviate from training. I would rather avoid the whole situation, but if this were to happen in front of me I would try and help in any way possible. I am quite sure the chimp would pound me into a bloddy pulp, no matter what I was armed with other than my G22.

But the guys with guns get the jerkit
You distract it, like you said, and while hes busy ripping off your "beans" and sticking your own head up your arse, me and the other guys with guns will just let you handle it
How long before you would scream "shoot it ay!"

Hey guys- lets leave Canada Vs US to political OK. Most of us up here feel no need for a firearm so the attitude that you are naked unless you can shoot something is foreign to us.
It is not physically possible for me to run, so I would try to keep it away with my Survival Staff so people can leave the scene- the violent encounter by me may distract it. Hopefully it rips my face off before my balls- but while he is trying that I will be trying to rip his eyes out of the socket- fight smart not strong.

You say leave it in political then you spout the BS about not needing it and us feeling naked if we can't shoot something, PLEEEAAAASE!!!!
Don't try that superiority crap. Without the means to defend yourself or mount an armed resistance you are little more than a slave and at the whim of anyone that is armed.
I wish you the best and truly hope that you will not NEED a firearm for the rest of your life. Chris

Yalls eye gouging skills must be tremendous
Really though no harm intended huh? Just having some fun with a ridiculous topic.
What if we got attacked by zombie martian gorilla dinosaurs
Now theres the real problem! Lets see you poke them in the eyeYou're assuming you will have fingers left to poke in his eyes. You would be in the same as I would be, were I without a firearm,dead meat.

PM me if you want to continue the discussion. I was just trying to discuss WHY there may be a difference in opinion. There is NO superiority CRAP and I don't appreciate your attitude in this.:thumbdn:
I agree that this is a silly topic, but it was asked what I would do- and I described it.
A question for those who would shoot it- have you had to shoot a wild animal charging you before? I have talked to a couple of people who have and they ALL said that they were lucky to shoot instinctively (one bear attack from behind- guy turned and shot at waist level as he was between the sow and cubs. She landed 5' from him. The other was our neighbour and he was rattling antlers when 3 bucks rushed him. He managed to hit one and the others bolted). I'm NOT calling anybody out and saying that it can't happen! I just want to hear from people who have had experience in this kind of situation with a handgun- both of my examples were hunters with guns at the ready.

EVERYBODY knows the weak point of a zombie martian gorilla dinosaur is his pinky toe. Hit it with a rock and he is dead meat
(hopefully I am not in the middle of a desert without rocks when this happens)

No need to PM, I thought the same thing about yours.
As far as superiority, it is there for anyone to read. I don't have anything to say that is not good enough for the group. Chris

I got a hell of a lot better chance with my handgun than poking it's eyes out with my finger. You think??? Chris

I really don't feel the need for snide comments folks, this is just a silly discussion.
Let's just assume, for the sake of argument, that I was carrying a .357 at the zoo. I still really don't think I would feel comfortable firing at a running animal in a place crowded with families and children. I couldn't live with myself if I mistakenly shot some kids, or killed some poor mother. The best solution is to leave, plain an simple, get away from the ape and try to make sure others are able to get away as well. Anyone who argues this is probably not thinking it through.

Chris. learn to read before you insult another man here.
He did not write that he didn't need a gun, he wrote he didn't feel the need for one.
He did not write that we feel naked without a gun, he wrote that this attitude was foreign to him.
Armed resistance? Slave? Whim of anyone armed? Put down the comic book and step back slowly ...
This is not the Political Arena and I will not tolerate anyone politicizing this discussion.
Serious question: has anybody seen what pepper spray will do to a chimp? I know that the keepers at the zoo (here) use it, but I'm not sure how effective it is. Pain can be a good motivator to stop what you're doing, and pepper spray seems more painful (burning) than a few handgun rounds. I know grown men who didn't even know they were shot until the incident was over, and some of the same men quickly stopped in their tracks when sprayed with OC. Just a thought.

They are like many said "beyond strong" and many baboon's have been reported to cause trouble in certain african villages. I can just say i'd fight like hell and stab as many time as I could wherever I could and just not stop fighting until I couldnt.

Monkeys are hideous, and most species are hideously violent too. They are our relatives after all.....
Earlier posts about chimps ripping off genitals are likely very true, must be some odd envy though because of all the primates, we homo-sapiens have by far the biggest genitals!
Spray or gas does indeed seem the best solution in a situation where other people may be crowded about meaning guns would be hazardous. But, how many times a CENTURY does this kind of thing happen in zoos or even in the wild? We've wiped out about 70% of primates in the wild in recent decades,the monkeys cannot answer this as we are the most violent&sophisticated primate. Feral dogs are a lot more dangerous to our well being or day to day lives.

Yea, your just not going to go hand to hand with a primate. They are much stronger, fight much more often and their bodies are made to fight against other stronger primates.
THEY WILL DESTROY YOU.
THEY WILL DESTROY YOU.
Esav it got political with Real commander's jack off icon. If you want to start blaming folks,start there.
I have never been attacked by an ape and i know only what my friend told me. One of my friends travled the world and i do mean the world in the mid 60s till late 70s. A few years were spend in africa before all the trouble started out there. The most dangerous animal out there is a Hipo. Never camp by water stay away from there trails. Dont piss them off. If they are out to get you, Then you are dead. They can out run a horse for a very short distance.. The Second animal is a baboon. Think of the meanst baddest dog out there. Now make his 10 times as smart give him hands and 3 times the strengh. If there is a group of them then no other predator would mess with them and they were known to attack back and eat parts of the predator. Chimps are much stronger, hey when was the last time you hang of a branch by one hand and eat. then a baboon and smarter. The best way to handle a chimp attack. There is a diffrence between an attack and just a scare. IS RUN as they dont like to run far. If you fight them it would take just a little longer to kill you. The chimp that do attack would stalk you most of the time, he is not going to take a running start to give you a chance to pull a gun. Heck you are talking about an ape that has more smarts then many of the people i know. I did play with a spider monkey and if didnt want to move you are not going to move him. They are amazingly strong and heavy for the size.

Ive actually had to defend against primates before when I didnt have my sidearm with me. It wasnt pretty. They are extrordinarily strong!
I was posting tongue in cheek cause I really didnt want to relive my experience on here. having to harm anything with a knife is not the most pleasant experience.
