It is aggravating little confrontations like the one above that convinced me to acquire a concealed carry permit and ALWAYS have a .44 Special on my hip. I refuse to be an easy target for low life criminal maggots. I pray to God I am never forced to use my weapon to hurt someone but I have no problem with scaring the b'jeebers out of some predatory scum and making him think hard and long before accosting some other innocent citizen.

Bj, what do you do with your gun when you are in areas that do not allow guns? Schools, hospital etc.
