I was on vacation with my wife and we were out just walking and taking in the scenery and time slipped away from us. Before we knew it, it was getting up into the wee hours of the morning.
As we were walking back to our hotel we saw to bug eyed dope heads on the street begging for money quiet aggresivly. They were obvisouly strung out on something. The people walking past them were alarmed at how they were behaving and begging. As we get closer I'm getting a little nervous because we see them grabbing peoples arms asking for money loudly. They weren't being violent but I didn't know if they could possibly become aggitated from not getting any money and get vilolent. So I had my hand at the ready just incase. Luckily my wife and I went down a side street and avoided the two individuals.
Upon getting in the hotel room I thought to my self," That could have been the first time I'd ever had to draw my weapon...Then I played all the "what if's over in my head" I must admit I'm glad we avoided the situation all together.
But it got me to wondering if any of you non leo ccw holders have ever had to pull your weapon. Did you have to fire or did the sight of the gun scare the BG off. Was there a feeling of panic at that moment? Just wondering because my heart was pounding and I didn't even have to draw.
