Read this on Facebook....
I read this on the Facebook group Texas Concealed Carry:
Ok.... WHAT WOULD YOU DO??? Unfortunatly I had to run to Walmart a bit ago to get some oil and a lightbulb.. As Im walking towards the auto section 2 kids about 5-6 come running and screaming around a corner at full speed. One of the kids runs smack into my right side.. Well that just happens to be where I carry.. Forehead slams into my gun and down the kid goes.. Literaly knocked him out for a second. The mom and dad get all freaked out screaming and crap.. A manager comes up and kids on the ground screaming and parents are screaming.. All the while Im just standing there saying, sorry but if youd control your kids this wouldnt happen.. Because the kid had a lump on his head they tried saying Ihit him.. I politley asked the manager to please review the video as it was in plain view.. Weird how nobody would say they saw anything.. I explained what happened and told them if they need further proof that what I said happened they would need to call a police officer. They did so.. The police officer arrived and listened to them, then listened to me. I told them they just need to watch the video surveilance. ( NO MENTION OF CHL OR GUN as wasnt even asked for ID ) They went to view video.. The officer came back scolded the parents for not having better control of their kids then turned to me and asked if I had a metal hip or something and I said or something and then asked for my ID. Gave him both permit and DL.. he then asked what I was carrying and I told him.. He laughed and said whadya bet it didnt knock any sence into any of them.. LOL Coulda been worse but ended funny...
I thought it was pretty hilarious and he handled it well.

It's always somebody elses's fault. Where have I heard that before?

Re: Read this on Facebook....
Occasionally one of my kids will suddenly decide to do something stupid (like play tag around in a store), and once or twice before I could catch them and chew them a new one they bumped into someone. I can remember one time quite clearly. The gentleman was very kind, but I was livid at my children. I believe we left the store that moment after apologizing profusely. It was a rather unpleasant ride home for them.

Re: Read this on Facebook....
My kid has charged through a door without waiting for a lady to go out first...exactly twice....
It's a non-issue now, but I could not imagine for the life of me the consecutive bad parenting decisions that had to be made to arrive at kids running through the store.
5 pts to the cop for sense-knocking comment.

Re: Read this on Facebook....
But at least you didn't blame the gentleman for potentially hurting your child. Seriously though, how can they really be so dumb... Some people shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

The parents were obviously guilty of intentional failure to conceal..........their children.
