Re: Always Carry
I know. I couldn't believe it either but thought I'd give it a try. Minus the Segway and bike helmet.

Re: Always Carry
Forgot to mention in my original post that I did notify PD. Took info over the phone but no officer sent out.

Re: Always Carry
Thanks for the responses. It was all I needed to remember how quickly life could change. All because "I don't need to carry just for 15 minutes, what could go wrong". At least it didn't take a 2x4 to the head to remind me. If it's okay with you, I would like to use your line of I don't do interviews if it happens again. Funny stuff.

Always Carry
I know I have read other posts on this, but thought I would share an incident that happened so it may help others. Decided to go to the local supermarket at night before it closed. Was feeling lazy and decided not to carry, since I was just going to be gone about 15 minutes. As I am getting out of my car, this guy approaches me from the driver side of the car next to me. Starts asking questions about various things that don't have to do with anything important. He then asks for money to buy gas. I use a firm response and body language to tell him no and have a nice day. I go into the store and shop. When I come out,I use good ole fashion situational awareness and notice him pull towards me from across the parking lot. He rolls down the window and starts fidgeting with something behind his seat while asking for "gas money for his new tahoe". I got that gut feeling that something bad was about to happen, so I slightly turned as if carrying and told him that he should rethink what he was doing and leave . He paused and decided to leave. As he was leaving, I noticed a guy crouched down in the back where he was reaching. I know if I would have walked to his car that something bad would have happened. Lesson learned. I will never be lazy again when it comes to carrying at all times. Hope this helps others.
