Never had a permit, I have rifles , shotguns and pistols at the house.
Before the kids came along use to carry a gun in the car . Have not done that in years.
Stopped Sunday night to get gas 08:00 pm ( dark ) .Close to the house , been buying gas there 8 years . This time only one there, so I thought. Guy approaches me hollering "hey there how you doing ? "
He said your name is Tony right ? I said no, and I dont know you .
What do you want ?
Oh nothing he said. He tried to walk right up on me, I moved to the front of car , wiped water off windshield. The hose was kind of blocking him.
He proceded around to the other side of the car , peering in car.
I was like cat and mouse but kind of non chalant. He went to the front, I moved to the back and took hose out of car. I opened the drivers door as I headed to the back .He was trying to make small talk the whole time. But it was very apparent he was trying to get very close to me !!!
I am 6ft 240lbs and felt I could handle him, but he kept his hands in his jacket the whole time. Had me worried a little.
He stopped at the front , me at the back. I pretended I had a call on my cell and spoke loudly " Yea you are almost here, see you in a minute" . lOOKED AT THIS GUY AND TOLD HIM A FRIEND OF MINE WAS ALMOST HERE AND i DIDNT HAVE TIME TO TALK ANYMORE !!
As he walked away mumbled something to the effect , maybe he didnt know me. To me, this guy was looking to rob someone.
I hate the feeling of being vulnerable !!!! I guess I handled it ok, but have second thoughts.
I am looking get get my carry permit , and start shooting regular.
Maybe take a few self defense pistol classes.
I am here to learn as much as I can.
Any advice appreciated.
