A couple of weeks ago, New Orleans Home depot ,I had, unknowingly pulled into an argument over a parking spot that I inadvertently parked. Getting out of the car I was quickly in the center of the MF words and to move my truck. I looked to see a truck parked behind the vehicle next to my parking place, at this time the argument switched from them over to me. It was easy to see the one man was inflamed and very aggressive. I would have moved , but it was now past the time of understanding . As i got out of the truck my 9mm pistol on my side the angry man instantly calmed down. I have a habit of putting my hand on the handle, they reaalized quickly, I was armed. At 72 I no longer can fist fight with a man in his thirties but most certinly can out shoot and will never let you get into my safty zone.

Two or three years ago, in the 9th ward of New Orleans pulled over to the side of the road because the GPS was sending me all over the place. I always look around for problems (my time in Vietnam). I noticed about a block down the road five young men coming in my direction. I looked back after a few minutes and caught only 4. Looking through my mirrors, I could see one man ducking down behind my truck, and I guess he ran to get there so fast. I pulled out my 357 rolled my window more than half down, watching this young man slowly moving up the side of my truck; on his arrival at my window, he was looking down the barrel of this pistol. He screams out, what are you doing? I only want directions,I mention to him if those other men get to the side of my truck, we will see how he has been living and whether he goes to heaven or hell.

Easy targets are what these criminals are looking. A family unprotected by a father is an easy target, no guarantee even if you give your money, you or your family will live. We must remember governments are allowing the worst murders and thieves right back on the streets, they have little to no fear of the law. Never allow someone to get into your comfort zone. THEY DO FEAR A MAN THAT FIGHTS BACK AND HAS LITTLE TO NO FEAR.

Being armed, trained, my save you or someone you know life. No gun on its own has ever killed anyone. Be safe
