I'm putting this in the Social Lounge because I'm not too sure exactly what happened.
Last Friday evening, my lovely bride had to stop at a Chinese take-out place to confer with the parents of her two students. When she got out of the car, she left her door open just enough to keep the interior lights on. I had lowered the driver's side window and was keeping a pretty close eye on things. My .45 was in the cup holder in the console and under my right hand.
Next thing I know, this young man comes running up to my window saying something like, "Sir, my car won't start and would you....." Pause while his eyes got very large and then I heard, "Sorry, excuse me, never mind" all in quick succession as he turned and broke the Land Speed Record leaving the area!!
Mind you, I never said a word and never touched my holstered weapon. I would like to know what he had in mind before he saw what was under my right hand.
I do believe that OC is a very powerful deterrent to criminals and I think that little episode is an example.
