Yesterday I was sweeping around the end of my driveway when a strange orange van with two young men (mid 20s prob) drive up and stop. The one on my side asks if I know a "Cpt Snyder", I said I don't know of anyone out here by that name and he just seemlessly says something to the effect of him ("Cpt Snyder) moving or PCSing and says he has his meat order that he can let me have for 350 or some such nonsense. I told him I was not interested and they drove off...I was mighty suspicious of them and would never buy meat off a random person anyway. What I should have done and didn't was get the tag number of the van just incase.
Also makes me think I should probably pack even when at home esp when outside...I definitely felt vulnerable and foolish for being unarmed. My garage door was open, my wife was inside and even more vulnerable. Lessons learned: Carry even while at home, esp while in the yard, keep the garage shut and prob should always have the cell phone on me as well. Mind you I did notice a freezer through the van door...so they may have been legit.
Oh and my neighborhood is quite nice and somewhat removed from normal traffic.
Your input/criticism here is welcome!
