LSD, Weed - Experienced - Friend Shot With Shotgun

~_Hiss_~ said:
For a rifle or shotgun, including assault rifles (30 shot clips, semi-automatic, large caliber) you only have to be 18. there is no waiting period! You can fucking walk into the mall here and buy an assault rifle on the spot! I am strongly against this kind of freedom. Any nut could get one easy.

Insanity.
 
Thanks for the support guys... I was hesitant to even post this story expecting criticism...

I hope you learned your lesson, and IM glad NOONE got hurt, even the other guys. Guns are a sad but necissary evil sometimes. Especially in the wilderness. I dont want this to turn into an gun thing or Ill close it so lets keep it on the Trip Report.

How do you think the Acid effected your decisions during the heat of the moment? Would you have reacted the same? Thought a little more about it? Or not shot at all?

I'm glad you understand guns are necessary sometimes. I appreciate not being called an idiot for having one with me tripping; I have done it before but wouldn't if I took a lot; its risk management- is it more risky to be in the woods unprotected or not trust myself with a gun; usually I think the woods is more risky. I agree, i don't want to talk more about guns but please don't close my thread for other people doing it.

The acid probably made me more spontaneous...theres that adrenaline like thing with tripping on it sometimes, and it definitely increased my natural adrenaline. I was really wired, almost overwhelmingly so; I believe it made my reaction time quicker. Honestly... if I wasn't tripping, I feel I would have done the same, but maybe just fire 1 shot instead of 2.

You might want to be a little careful how you post the article.
I agree; I'll let some time pass, and see how things are going legally. Right now I'm pretty clueless about what is going on, and may ask the police tomorrow.

A no guns rule at an outdoor techno party I can understand, but a no alcohol rule? That almost seems to have provoked this incident.
Well, I am actually in a small minority of people that carry a gun. None of my friends do. A no-guns rule wouldn't stop troublemakers anyways; if someone is coming to cause trouble with something as serious as a gun, they won't listen to a rule. Alcohol goes bad with psychedelics; we've (me especially) have learned the hard way. And common sense: tripping is intricate and deep; alcohol is just dumb and loose.

I think you should be wary mixing LSD and these traumatic incidents you go through, a good way to give yourself a bit of PTSD symptoms.
I am convinced that I do have a milder form of PTSD; not from this incident (yet at least) but others... I've been attracted to pushing the limits and going far, and taking risks. I don't even think its out of my system yet. Maybe pushing limits and going through bad situations has in a way made me feel more comfortable when everything is going ok, in normal life.

I used to think flashbacks were BS, but I've gotten them a few times now. 3 times, it was right as I was falling asleep. Once it was on acid. They were basically jolts of memory and bad feeling flying through my mind, and over very quickly. They relate to certain things that have happened. Its scary but I know its just memory... I just hate the shot of fear and adrenaline which accompanies them.

Peace
 
^Well "acid" flashbacks aren't related to LSD per se, but to the experiences endured under it. I have positive 'flashbacks' in a deja vu sense, but I still get creeped out when thinking of fucked up experiences I had or saw. They fade with time, or with a more positive experience. Take you time though, and next time, go somewhere quiet and safe where you don't need guns :)

It never will. It's impossible to erase memories.
Past experiences stay with us forever, and color our perception.
Whether it's for better or worse is up to us to a certain extent.
 
Hiss, U didn't say what part of the cuntry (sic) U were in.

I carry, legally in the car for protection. ( .357 always hidden within, gun never leavs the car.)

Did the three guys in the truck take 'cid too?

I would never fire back in the dark. I woulda gotten outta there after their first shots.

Alcohol & guns do not mix!
 
I'm in PA. Yes, S says he sold 1 of them 2 hits and one of them 1 hit, they probably were tripping too but more drunk.

Taurus 605 2" snubnose! My baby. Good enough to drop a bear.
 
Heh, something... you really should have fired all 5 shots at them to try to hit one; you had a reasonable self defense excuse.

I would be pretty pissed at them even if they do get in trouble. Thats not funny in any way to shoot near someone to joke. Anyone who did that, drunk, tripping or sober, deserves a bullet to their gut.
 
Hiss I always make fun of your threads where you act immature, freak out, and carry your gun around like retarded adult baby.

I can't think of anything funny to say here though, it sounds like everything worked out in the coolest way possible.
 
^ looks like that 'drunk truck crew' should have aimed a little higher and hit this fruit, lol

whos the baby anyways, calling names and making jokes out of mistakes and bad trips, irresponsible or not. i shouldnt have given the kid attention but its annoying to see disgraces to bluelight.

"coolest way possible"... someone getting shot, at no fault to the victim. yep... someone does need shot.
 
Look, I know you want everyone to pat your hand and say "aww poor baby, everything is all right."

....but the fact is you're absolutely fucking retarded.
 
ooh i think i made it mad! its using bold and italics!!! haha

Hiss, I know you're not the smartest and safest tripper, but you have fans. You are brave for pushing the limit, but hopefully will be more careful now.
 
I heard a story ( true) recently of a party getting out of hand locally,Booze kinda has to have been involved I reckon, I shall enquire further tho. Apparently an argument between two people escalated into a fight involving about a dozen folks in all at this party,. . with people tripping on "acid" ( I never tried it myself & so that's why I inverted the word) . I've seen people do some mad shit before but out & out violence on another person is one thing I aint seen nor would wish too.


Guns + Booze + LSD= bad set & setting in my book
 
Lol @ mr light the troll. I don't understand why you are so upset though, is it jealousy or lust?
 
Updates:

Well, D is healing up ok, theres some puss and infection in 1 hole out of 5 but he is changing bandages regularly and using antibiotic cream. He also sought counseling... I didn't inquire further but he told me he was having bad stress jolts and feeling extra social anxiety, and wanting to keep to himself. Possibly from the trip going bad + the whole getting shot at, then shot in the chest.

I haven't heard back from the cops. They told me I would need to be in court if the idiot(s) plead not guilty, otherwise I don't need to be involved unless they need another statement. With that out of the way, I'm on my way to getting over this lousy incident. I don't think its bothering me much anymore, I've gotten over it mostly. I doubt I will trip anytime soon though, cept for K. This definitely lowered my already progressively-declining appetite for tripping.

But hey, maybe I'll have some crazy K trip to report to my "fans" (lol) mr light, thanks.

Peace
 
Fuck man, I remember reading about the paintball incident, and now this? Been walking under any ladders in the past couple of years? Shit, that's a major run of bad luck right there.

That aside, glad to hear that your friend is recovering, and that you didn't get hurt. Take care, and be safe in future man :)
 
Wonder if the lead in the shot will have any affect on your friend?! I read that they require steel shot for birding 'cause the birds eat the lead or something. Guess the medics know what they're doing with the lead.

And, yes, if U did fire back at them U might of had a good self-defence agruement if U hit them but if it was convient to run, I certainly would have.

I also agree with your judgement to go over to them and tell them to cool it 'cause when I take L, all I want is peace, love & :)
 
I agree with Johnny 1:
Don't trip with people you don't know.
Don't trip with violent people.
Don't trip with alcohol.
And for God's sake DON'T TRIP WITH A PISTOL!

No problem. Your stories have inspired me to push the limits more and take risks to trip harder. But, I don't think I'll be playing paintball tripping or quad riding while shrooming just yet, haha. I must admit they are very entertaining, but I'm sorry its entertainment at your expense. Still worth it though :D except when someone gets hurt. Then I rather someone didn't get hurt and have no story than both. Well... maybe.

Its all about distraction from boredom or whatever. I like reading your stories as one, and we like tripping as one.
