A few weeks ago, I was out with my daughter and son in law eating a cheap meal. I started up a "what would you do if" conversation.

I ask "what would you do if" three bad guys came in the front door with guns drawn to rob the place. My daughter said, "I will hit the floor and get the gun out of my purse in case you jump up and start shooting".

We all laugh and I said... If they were acting like they were going to start shooting people, I would move away from the table to draw fire away from this area as I fired on the bad guys.

My daughter says... " yeah... Then we could get them in a cross fire and hope others in IHop had CHL's". She then looks at my son in law and says, "while we are doing all this, what would you do?"

With a serious face he says, "I would stand up and shout, everyone relax, he has a permit for that thing".

Sorry for the new story... The talk about having a sash reminded me of it.

My renewal comes up in January. Obviously, the classes have been upgraded since my first class.

I gave her a ride to the mall in Frisco so she could attend a book club at Barnes and Noble. She told me yesterday there had been some robberies in the area and since she was going to be coming out of the place at nine at night, she mentioned some concern. She is 32 but hey... Pops to the rescue anyway...LOL. I figured I could hang at the Starbucks and read while she played book club.

So we are coming out of the mall and I say to her, now remember your CHL class and scan around the parking lot with your eyes for suspicious characters before walking further. She laughs and says, "WRONG, in my class we were taught to make a duck and roll tactical entry into the parking lot. Using the vehicles as we go for cover and concealment." I would have spit my coffee out my nose if had been taking a drink.
