One never knows for sure what or how they will react when face to face with someone with a gun.

The one time I was faced down by a shoplifter with a pistol, as a security guard at Kmart in the 70's. Know if was over before I knew what happened. Tackled him and snapped his wrist and retrieved the pistol. No thought just instincts I guess, got in a bunch of trouble for this anyway....

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.
