I have some friends that live on the rough side of town, I go over there on my days off. There is a self serve car wash down the road and I often wash my truck there. One nite I was doing just that, when a young man asked me if I had change for a dollar? I told him no, then I hear someone behind me say are you sure? I turned and there was two more young men standing there. I told them yep I was sure, as I dropped the wand and open the truck door and puled out a sawed off double shot gun. They decided to leave but not before they gave me the finger and called me a bunch of names.
I had the better bluff that nite, as I didn't have any shells in the shot gun and none in the truck. I never figure I was going to have to carry close to home I had myt ccw at that time. But didn't carry that much, I did some but most times not.
I had a close call closer than I ever want it to be again. Ok so I am 6 foot 265 or so and I work at a prison. been in several hundred fights yea I am tough ok all that aside I know I can't take 3 young men. Super man I am not- life sucks when we find this out.
Lessons I learned well I don't wash my truck there late at nite any more. And I carry all the time, got one straped on now, I don't go to the mail box without a gun. Anymore its just not smart, least ways to me its not. I do nothing late at nite either, I can't get it durling day lite hours, or get it from walley world then I don't need it, it can wait until tomorrow.
I can remember a time when I didn't think like I do now, maybe its cause I am older now and not in the great shape I use to be in. I am still walking every morning rain or shine. I am feeling better, and have a long way to go before I get to where I want to be. But even then I am still going to carry.
If any of you have any stories to share here about you never know please share we can al take a lesson.
