hey you all, not on here a whole bunch as I live out in Big Spring. I used to live in Tampa Fl 03 to 08. Got my first CHL down there which is really a Concealed Weapons Permit vs Texas which has a Concealed Handgun License. Came from the communist state of MD. Anyhow. 1st incident in Tampa was on a Sunday morning yes I had been out the night before and going out in the morning for breakfast did not strap a gun on as I was headed into a bar area. I did have a gun locked in tool box of truck. While sitting at a light, two cars made a left in front of me and started in the direction I was going, they were spinning tires and moving at a dangerous speed. I went thru the light and started to follow as this looked interesting. Well both cars immediately stopped and a male got out of one car and went up to the other and leaned in and started wailing on the woman in the drivers seat. I said wow and immediately went into a Black state of mind, got my locked gun out and a phone and jumped out of truck.
Started towards the couple and screamed something and the guy pulled out of the fight and started at me, he saw my gun and luckily for me as well as him he jumped in his car and took off. I had crap in my pants at this point, I never pointed the gun at him but had it pointed at the ground but wow how things could have changed quickly.
About this time I had 911 on the phone and was telling them what was going on. Asked the lady if she wanted the police she said no and drove off. Oddly enough the police never even showed up after a citizen had a gun drawn. I finally left the area.
Trust me though if you don't wear a seat belt they are all over you for that.
Looking back I should have called 911 first and then maybe deal with the guy or just let the police show up.
