I'm posting my most embarrassing CCW moment, hoping that others will post theirs.
Please - no made-up stories, or those that you heard of 2nd/3rd/4th hand!!
My story takes place last weekend.
I've been carrying (legally of course!) since about the middle of last year. I carry a Taurus PT-111 Mil Pro 9mm in an Uncle-Mike's #16 IWB holster. I wear it all the time and don't even realize that it's there, except for when I would have to reach for it!
I spent the day Saturday with my girlfriend and my 9 year old daughter. We went shopping, had lunch at the local all-you-can-eat Chinese joint, some more shopping for this, that and the other, and then went over to mall to catch a movie.
While waiting in line at the theater, I realized why I stopped eating General Tso's chicken several years ago... Those little red peppers burn even worse when they are ready to/in process of coming out....
I had to RUN to the restroom in the mall, and in true panicked fashion, un-fastened my belt on the way into the door, found a vacant stall, and was unbuttoned, unzipped, in the stall and pants around ankles in 2 seconds flat....
When in process of doing my business, amidst all the agony of the peppers, I hear a voice from the next stall say "Nice piece.... you got a permit for that thing?" ... and immediately after, saw a badge wallet held under the divider w/ a 5 point star in it......
Well - if I had not already been there doing my business, I would have needed to of been there when that happened...
I grabbed my wallet out of my breast pocket in my jacket, and held down my permit. He told me to stick around , that he needed to see my DL to go along with it...
We both finished our "duty" and stepped out to wash up..
Low and behold, it was someone I hadn't seen since high school... We stepped outside and caught up a little...
But anyhow, had that have been someone other than a cool headed deputy,
it could have caused quite the stir...If it were some elderly person, how were they to know that I wasn't some gun toting punk looking for trouble - give the old guy a heart attack! Usually I would pull the holster out and put it either on the top of the TP holder, or hold onto it..
Anyways - anyone else with an embarrassing story they are willing to share?
