Never again....

[someonetyping]

Never again will I be eating at Aunt "C's". I was a couple of weeks ago when a friend and I decided to go eat around 11:30PM. Denny's didn't sound so hot so we decided on Aunt C's. We walk into the place and are immediately stared down by almost every other hungry customer. My friend and I were conversing amongst ourselves when a certain inebriated individual sitting behind me felt it was an absolute necessity for her to explain to my friend and I of how inappropriate it to talk about her and her boyfriend in such a demeaning manor. NOTE: THERE WASN'T A SINGLE WORD SAID ABOUT ANYTHING PERTAINING TO ANYBODY IN THE ESTABLISHMENT. Not even realizing there were guests behind me, I turned around to see what this person may be talking about when my friend blurted out that we weren't talking about them. She stood up out of her chair and started cussing us out at a volume seemingly for the entire city to hear. Only wanting to deescalate the matter the waitresses asked us to leave as we have not even received our menus yet. My friend walked outside first as I was still trying to apologize for any inconvenience we may have been responsible for. I see outside through the windows that my friend is entangled with some older fellow on the ground in the parking lot. It happened to be another inebriated customer deciding to take matters into his own hands. I separated the two by pulling my friend from under this fellow and made it clear we are leaving. Somehow this fellow's companions deemed that we had in fact beat him up. A table of five combatant individuals are hastily gaining ground on us with fists drawn as my friend and I are saying that we are leaving and don't want trouble and that this misunderstanding is getting only more misunderstood by the second. They closed ground within about twelve feet so I pulled my XD-40 subcompact and racked a hollow in. Letting them know we will be leaving unharmed.

We leave the parking lot on the way home for a sandwich that will taste better than it ever has. We are tailed by a wrecker almost IMMEDIATELY. I, thinking that the wrecker could be the individuals that we had just encountered, made some evasive maneuvers and evaded the tailing wrecker.

We are met at a red light about 3 miles down the road by about 7 police cars from all directions. We are not so politely asked to get out of the vehicle and get on the ground. I immediately told them that there is an unloaded pistol in the center console and that I am a CHL holder. My friend and I are cuffed, searched, and placed in separate cars. TOO LONG OF A STORY SHORT: We are questioned separately. We both had the same story. Neither one of us had the opportunity to tell the full story to the any of the multiple interrogators. We were both hauled back to where it all started and sat in the car while everyone but the combatant individuals who had fled the scene where questioned.

The cops continuously asked us why we didn't call them. Why did you take off? etc etc etc. Many of the cops decided to take us to jail and forget about it except one or two. The called the District Attorney's up (or assistant DA's probably) and they wouldn't take any charges.

WE GOT LUCKY FOR SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULDN'T HAVE NEEDED LUCK FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE.

MORAL: IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO PULL IT OUT, LET THE AUTHORITIES KNOW. DON'T GO TO AUN'T "C's"

As Ron Burgandy would say, " Wow, That got outta hand quickly. "

I'm not familiar with Aunt C's, where is this at? Possibly they saw you weren't a regular there and decided to make you guys feel unwelcome?

What were they wanting to take you to jail for exactly?

In any case, I'm glad that you and your friend avoided a physical altercation. Just remember to call the police and let them know what happened as soon as you get out of harms way, like when you got in your car. If you call first you are the victim and the tables will be turned making you look like the good guys and the others the bad.

Lastly, Welcome to the forum! Glad your'e here!

I don't believe it. Joined today to post this as his first post?

I read the first paragraph and then checked his post count. I knew something was fishy. I completed the story and I still don't believe it.

Sounds dramatic. "....so I pulled my XD-40 subcompact and racked a hollow in."

We are also reading one side of the story.

i found an autie c's in park city kansas. but nothing popped up for texas via google.

god bless.

Ooohhh should have called the cops if you had to draw, even if you managed to leave without further incident.

Don't call the cops: armed man was scared off by loyal patrons of the establishment
Call the cops: responsible citizen managed to de-escalate a situation without firing a shot

Which one of those do you want in the cop's heads when they pull you over?

In another not so polite forum, this kind of first post is typically replied with the following words:

"Cool story bro!"

How can the pistol be unloaded if you racked a hollow in? Did I miss something?

Pepper spray is great for drunks.

Hose them down and be the first to call 911.

If you hadn't figured it out, the wrecker was following you and telling police where you were.

Or at least giving them your plates.

I've seen something very similar to this happen in Arlington while leaving a hookah lounge with some of my friends who live up there. Didn't get this serious because we were all quicker on our feet than our pursuers and had our ride meet us a couple blocks away.

He could have easily unloaded the gun after making it safely to his car. That would make sense since he carries without a round in the chamber normally (that's how I figure it anyway).

Yeah, the story sounds crazy, but it wouldn't surprise me if it really happened. Guess we'll see how long he hangs around. I and many others here lurked for a while before ever posting here, and this would definitely be worth posting if it did happen.

Glad you made it through.

I'm not trying to sound like an but who was your instructor for you CWL? BC I don't want to use them. Basic things that should be discussed in a class that you didn't do (IMO):


1I always carry pepper spray. I want to use all "less than lethal" possibilities before drawing on BGs. Makes it look better if I tried to deescalate the situation and drew your weapon as the last resort.
2 Anytime you draw your weapon you should call the Police and give them your story. Of course they'll call bc you drew on them. You left and didn't call, this makes you look REAL BAD.

My instructor mentioned a story about how a guy and a woman started honking at each other..... the guy said she pulled out a gun and waved it at him..... he pulls his out and waves back....... she pull off and reports a man pulled a gun on her on the road. The local PO was waiting for him in his driveway

I can't fathom an instructor not mentioning this in your class. To bad you had to learn the hard way.
