A local PD Sargent told me back then, best to keep yours eyes down and mouth shut....
Now I don't pack as a rule. To many stories in the news of people pulling and flashing escalating to a killing here in the Derby City!
I'm not going to go thru my life afraid of my death. Don't want to happen yet know it will. Want a surprised look on my face when it does.

I don't see how you could have got in trouble for this, unless his face bounced more than four or twleve times.
Not that we need to know the whole truth. (my emotivecons are gone) that was a joke.
