Incident At Lowes Parking Lot

I agree and we're obviously happy about that. However, we've covered all this (being constantly aware, strangers approaching in a parking lot, etc) many times before, yet still both allowed ourselves to get caught off-guard. He was close enough to do serious damage. Not happy about that, but, because it ended well, not crying over it either.

 

thats why i say its better to be caught with one than without one... be safe out there

 

Thanks OP for the reminder that you can never be to safe. Glad to hear that you and your wife are safe and unharmed ! Be safe out there guys and gals....

 

x2, thats what i say about my 4x4 when people ask why i have to have

ide rather have it and never use it, than need it and not have it

 

welll look whos jumping to conclusions quick again.....lol drinking a few beers and cussing is nothing compared to someone "appearing sketchy". glad u didnt come to the meet you probly would have ended up shooting someone haha

 

.
Come on down, I know a few instructors. Price would be right too.

 

lol God forbid you are in a crowded area like LA or most foreign countries, you'd be reaching for your weapon 24/7.

Must be a different culture. I've never carried or lived in a country/city where it is legal to carry a firearm, so I just try not to walk late at night in shitty neighborhoods with just a woman with me. Unless of course im trying to get tail.

Not shitting on the whole gun thing, just my .02.

And Im not trolling

 

At least all of you get to carry, try living in IL.

 

LOL..yep Story is a little crazy.. Easy big shooter not everyone is out to get you and the 2009 and 2012 look pretty close to each other wouldn't you say?

And if it was me and you are drawing down then I draw down then what? You said you got distracted and confused and didn't realize where dude was..and now your afraid. Your part of the problem -unless there is something your not telling us? What are you hiding?

 

i think you guys are missing the part where the guy is on the other side of the "lane" and scurries across to get right behind them, within "touching distance"

if someone is across the lane from me and quickly and queitly rushes me like that, if i had a weapon, my hand would have been on it too. Who does that? even to talk about the truck and simple shout of hey nice truck would have done just fine, not rushing up behind them. You never know what someones intent it, especially if they are an older couple and in a nice truck. people are crazy.

 

He wanted to talk to them, they said they weren't paying attention and then go for their CC guns...come on give me a break. Freak a zoid Story teller wants attention here. End of story.

 

i dunno, just sayin, none of us were there. he could of had other intentions, he could have been a fast walker, i speed walk everywhere.

 

hmm did he see the front of the truck? perhaps he only saw the back and it looked like an 09 to him, but yeah someone suddenly popping behind me would get me startled too, glad you guys handled the whole situation well, it seemed that you both are responsible gun carriers and that's the most important part. glad you both are safe in the end

 

i already took the class, just getting paperwork ready to send it. I already have my Texas CHL. I just wanted the florida one to overlap since its good for 7 years and TX is good for only 4.

calm down there, Sally. he never said he drew his gun on the guy. He simply put his hand on it in case anything was to happen. No harm, no foul. Everyone is alright. move along now.

 

x2, sucks, can't wait to leave. One of the highest crime rates (Chicago) and guns have been banned for years, idiot politicians.

 

dude it alabama

 

what's that susposed to mean????

 

(After reading the opening message)
sounds like you and the wife was planning on robbing the lowes I mean carring loaded weapon in a hardware store. You sir need to have "greater consideration for the populace at large". No "If you think otherwise, it's entirely in your own mind".

and if it was dark as you said I'm not sure if I could tell the difference between the 09 or 12

I can only base any opinions of an event on what I see. Once again, the first message in this thread does not provide a good impression. No offense was intended. The OP is entirely free to his comments or whatever, just as I'm free to make choices based on that.
