I once drew my Bersa mini 9 on a growling Pit Bull that was trotting toward me in front of my house with no leash or owner. I had the dog in my sights and I thought I would have to fire. Luckily the poochie stopped and I walked slowly backward into my house and called 911. Next I had the pleasure of watching th police chase him around like a Benny Hill routine. The police found the owner and told me that the owner's car was right across the street for where I was standing, so we guessed that the dog was defending its owner's vehicle and backed off as I backed up.

Have never drawn but like several "went to the hip." Had a man, appeared homeless, approach just after my son shut the door to the back seat off my truck. He was near the back bumper, my door open behind me. He asked for "spare change" I told him I didn't have any, he said "come on man" and stepped towards me. I put my hand on my pistol to draw and he quickly stopped and walked away.

I've adjusted my cover garment while seated in my vehicle, but luckily have never felt a need to draw.

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.

Intervening in a domestic can be fraught with pitfalls.

There are some great stories in here that we could all learn from or maybe get a chuckle out of.

I have only had to put my hand on my firearm a couple times without other parties noticing. I was being cautious and prepared in these situations. I have never had to draw and hope that day does not come.

Okay, I'm going to tell on myself. I have had the misfortune of drawing more than once but one time, not CHL, sticks in my memory.

I used to be a patrol supervisor while I was in college and our company had this office bldg. that the cleaning crew would always leave unlocked. Fridays were bad because of all the extra activity and we (I) usually wouldn't get to it until very late/early. We had had several odd experiences (all SO's that patrolled that bldg) and we had just about decided it was haunted.

So I am going through this bldg. around midnight and as I am going from one exit to another locking them and an office door slams closed behind me. I spin and draw and this poor guy throws all of his files in the air. I had gone all Barney Fife on him. I started asking who he was and when satisfied he belonged there I started helping him gather his papers. Because of all of the other occurrences I had to ask, "Do you work late often." In a tremulous voice he replied, "Not any more."
