Sharpshooter
I was at my parents house today with my 3 kids, wife and father. I grew up in this house and know all the neighbors. My girls were practicing riding their bicycles in the yard and alley behind the house. The couple that lives on the other side of the alley got a divorce and now the wife has a new boyfriend (who has a gigantic mullet!). I'm chasing my 2 year old around our yard while watching my girls ride their bikes in the alley and yard. I kept seeing the guy across the alley looking over at us and I knew he was not the husband but I didn't pay no attention to him as I figured he was just curious of who lived across the alley.
My dad got his bicycle out of the shed and started riding up and down the alley with my kids; this finally led to my dad and younger daughter riding down the alley and out on to the road (not a busy street). My 2 year old, of course, wants to follow them so my wife, older daughter, 2 year old and I start going that way. The guy kept staring at us but I just brushed it off.
We get out into the road and the guy is still eye balling us; I made sure I wasn't staring him down but I was curious as to why he was hawk eying us. He threw his arms up in a "whats up, or a you got a problem" type of way but I ignored it. We went up the road and turned around and on our way back down, I look over and the guy stands up and starts walking towards us. The lady that lives there gets up and goes straight in the house quickly. I knew something was up and had that feeling for a few minutes.
We get up to the alley and the guy is coming straight at us, staggering, with the stink eye. He got within 20 feet and I turned towards him kind of squared off with him but still walking (pistol protruding from my side). He stopped abruptly and started peering up into the tree like there was a naked girl up there! (there was nothing in the tree) He picked up a walnut, said something about a cat,(which I acknowledged with a smile) and he turned around and walked away with a stumble.
I would have to say that the lack of confrontation came from the visual appearance of my firearm. What do you think?

flag on this one. There is absolutely no way on God's green earth that I can believe that an attack was prevented by a visible firearm. It just doesn't happen. Now if you had said that upon seeing your pistol protruding from your hip, he automatically made you his first target and took your gun from you because you didn't know how to retain your pistol, then I might believe you. Next time try telling a realistic story bro.
