Primate attacks.

I'm American, and I DO in fact feel naked without a sidearm and a knife. Just sharing.

I seriously doubt anyone could outrun a chimpanzee. Those things are hella fast, and many times more powerful than a human. In the CT incident, the owner stabbed the chimp with a butcher knife, which did not so much as faze the chimp. The chimp was also shot several times by police, but took several minutes to die. I don't know what caliber the CT cops carry.

My strategy would be to shoot the damn dirty ape as many times as possible. Failing that, attempt to flee.
 
if i'm gonna get in primate territory, i'll make sure to be armed with enough fire power to kill all of them! come on people, what are the odds of a primate attack if i'm not in africa or some other off beaten path.

zoo, i'd get my family out bukku fast. didi mau dude! however, i'd lay down my life to protect my famalia. that forken primate will at least bleed before i died.

i think we lose reality with all these discovery channel specials. last i heard the silverback apes were being on the brink of extinction. chimps and other primates aren't that far behind. all the starving people eat them as a last resort. their territories are being cut down to burn as fuel. even the ones on reservations are poached at will. the game wardens are out gunned.

i'd say they have more to fear from humans!

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.

Tolerate or not, comic book or not, my reading comprehension is fine.

I did not politicize anything. Whether or not you believe as I do about gun ownership is no reason to use your modding powers, I did not insult anyone use any insulting icons or in any way do anything but to respond to what I read and how I interpreted it. I realize that this is a private forum and free speech does not apply here, however I am not sure what I did that several posters before myself did not also do, just with a different view.

No matter how silly you think I am, much greater men than me have said the same thing, an unarmed man is little more than a slave to someone that has arms, in my mind fact and I stand by every word I said. Chris
 
Wilderness & Survival Skills, NOT the Political Arena. I don't care how many men said something you agree with, I stepped in to shut down what looked to me like the politicization of a totally non-political topic. That you took a statement carefully phrased as an opinion as an attack on your belief system was just a poisoned frosting on the cake. That belief system has no place in this forum on this topic.

Agreed, whole heartedly. Why was I the one singled out? Not the ones that ridiculed 2nd amendment rights? After rereading several of the threads, I am quite sure the point of Kriss' thread as well as others before it.

I am more than willing to let this die, I would like to see ANYONE that politicizes a subject chastized, not just the ones with what is considered "comic book" views. I am also very curious how I insulted him, right now I am feeling a bit insulted. Chris

Other threads are irrelevent. Other posters are irrelevent if the thread as a whole remained more or less on topic. Even offensive posts are irrelevent if I didn't see them.

Are you under the impression that I read every post on every thread every day? I deal with what I see as best I can.

Enough already. Stop distracting the discussion. Take any further concerns to Service & Support.

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.:(

Yeah this post is about serious stuff like viscious man eating horrifying monkeys. People need to know how to deal with that, or they might end up like me....:eek:

:D:D:D:D (this thread needed a little humor...;))
 
Most primates bigger than a cat can do some serious harm if they want to, but if it was between a gorilla attacking me and a chimp attacking, I'd choose the gorilla. Even though they are stronger, they are far less violent, and usually use it to defend. Chimps, as has been stated here, are truly our closest kin. They are capable of rape, murder, maiming, theft, and deception. If a male gorilla feels challenged by you, chances are that if you assume a submissive posture you will be alright. If a chimp feels challenged, it will go after you no matter what. As for chimps going after my genitals, I don't have to worry as my wife locked those up about 8 years ago :D...:(
 
I was at my neighbors house today, who happens to be a Stamford P.O.(Stamford is where the attack took place) He was not on duty, but gave me all the details of what happend. With out getting into too many details, a 200lb chimp is a tuff SOB! The P.O. that shot the animal put 4 shots with a .45 cal at close range into it's chest. The Chimp did not go down, but ran into its pen to die. Keep in mind that this is after the chimp was stabbed by its owner.

The woman who was attacked is missing her face and hands.
 
That's easy...if attacked by a monkey I would throw my own excrement at it.

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.

A very sound advice!

Recently I've been in a local gunshop to look at the new CZ Phantom model, when a group of policemen in uniforms entered and bought pepper sprays. I asked immediatelly if they had any practical experience from service with that and the policeman said that the pepper sprays worked perfectly on anything breathing, including drugged felons who are normaly hard to pacify. He said that they were issued with some sprays but the shop bought cajune pepper sprays were better.
A guy I was driving home after a shooting competition told me that he was carrying a pepper spray regularly and he had already to use it against three persons. It was working perfectly in all three cases.
Another man was swearing that pepper spray was ideal against dogs (no surprise here, they have very sensitive noses).
Paramedics do carry pepper sprays too, because they quite often get into conflicts with drugged or drunk people.

Now you can carry pepper spray easily in your pocket, and when something tries to get you at a close range you will have no probs to pull it really fast and got him in the face. Drawbacks are the wind, and - as some people who actualy used it in a conflict said - it is not working so good if the target expects it, so you were attacked by more than one assailants.

Hopefully pepper sprays will be still available even in hardcore politically correct countries, but I heard that they are already banned in Britain so who knows. Canada is after all still formally a part of British commonwealth is it?
 
Canada has formal ties to the UK through allegiance to the Queen. This has nothing to do with sovereignty, they are completely independent.
 
I'd pound my chest like Tarzan first just to see if the Chimp has read his script or seen the movie!
After that, drop in the fetal position with one hand on face, other on privates and pray!
 
Monkeys? Fortunately, we don't have many of them in Finland! The last time I saw a monkey in the wild, I had a good rifle. That would have worked. Quite frankly, if I was in a zoo and a raging mad chimp jumped out of his cage and came at me, I'd more than likely run like hell. :D I've no problem fighting with a human if there's no better option, but chimps are ridiculously strong and brutal. Running sounds better. If that isn't an option for some reason, I will have a strong fixed blade knife with me that I would try to stab that darn chimp to death with. It would seem to me that the neck would be a pretty good place to target if possible. Might not end too well, though. :eek:
