[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 3501398, member: 6064"] Worked in Bolivia in the early 90,s doing mining. We were late on pay roll and the miners were getting a bit mad. One evening i was talking to a bunch of them and one guy up and says i think we will just take you hostage untill we are paid and pointed an M2 carbine at me. He had been standing around with it for a while and i already had made my mind up that if he got jiggy he would be the first one i shot. When he up and pointed it at me i drew my 45.... That was the day they found out the gringo carried a pistola..... As the front sight settled on his nose, he was almost at contact distance, something in his eyes said i didn't need to shoot. I had already planed to shoot, but just something said not to. They had all been drinking and i found out the next day they had no ammo at all and he even tried to sell me the Carbine, but I was a broke as they were. A week latter a guy drove down from La Paz with cash to pay everyone off and we had a huge party! Glad i didn't shoot him, but after that they all knew i had a 1911. Tipuanni Bolivia was a happening place in the 90,s what with the drug trade and mining! Cocain y oro! [/QUOTE]
