Unfortunately, there are perfectly resonable and sane folks that under the influence can change, like flipping a light switch. I thought I had just about see all the drunk situations after riding on Friday and Saturday nights with a deputy for three years, but the night a good friend, in my home, flipped out and tried to kill me, not once but three times was a very real eye opener for me personally.
I never will forget looking down the bore of a 45 ACP, with safety just flipped off and the guy with glazed eyes and a crazed look on his face asking me "who are you and why are you holding me." I did not know it at the time but he was back in Sigon when he was a CID agent in a shootout with dopers in an old hotel. I took the gun away from him, by grabbing the slide, forcing it back and twisting it in one motion. Then put him to bed. He started making noises so I went in the dark bedroom and he was behind the door with a big Boker folder, he got my shirt, about 12 inches worth, a little nicked skin, but I got the knife, without breaking his arm and then as I turned to leave he pulled another folder and came at me again. After I got that knife, I threw him out. He was just way to crazy to remain in my home. Ed
