I was at wal mart in west valley today and had my beretta in a serpa thigh holster. Standing in a rather long line, I kept feeling a slight tug on my pant leg and then a full on atomic wedggie style pull up on my pant leg. Quickly turning around to see a young kid (guessing around 13-14) trying to unholster my pistol. I had it in a level 3 serpa so he was having quite a difficult time.
Now I know that what i did next was probably not the best but the child received a swift and painful lash across the back of his hand.
And of course, the mother who was nose deep in the latest people magazine looked up and started hollering at me or striking her son.
At which point I responded by scolding her and her son on why you should NEVER do that and why she needs to keep better tabs on her offspring. As well as educating her heathen on not ever touching a firearm.
She then told the cashier to call the police. By now the officer on duty that usually hangs around that location comes by and asks me a few simple questions about my gun and if it's loaded and then proceeds to tell me to mind my temper a little better and to have a nice evening. Says nothing to the mother other than the child is lucky I noticed and a slap on the hand was all he got.
Sorry for the rant but I had to share that. Anyone else have a similar experience? Any thoughts on my reaction?
