Messed up my phone so I had to go buy a temp one until I get the part I need to fix my Captivate. Anyway, there is a guy in town that sells unlocked phones. Called him up found out where he is located. Went to his apartment had no idea where to park as it was very limited. Parked in a spot meant for one of the apartments as I wouldn't be there longer than a half hour and my wife waited in the car. Well I was picking out a phone and my wife calls the guy I was buying the phone from asking why it was taking so long because some guy pounded on her window telling her to move cause it was his spot. So I hurried up bought the phone and left. Walk out side to see some fat Samoan dude. He asks me if the car was mine I said yeah and I'm real sorry. He said don't be sorry bout nothin' just move yo **** n*****, you should feel lucky I don't mess your **** up. He parked right behind me in his POS Neon. He's telling me to move and I'm like where he was like I dunno you figure it that **** out n***a. I had to pull forward to the left then angle my way out hoping I didn't hit his car 'cause he was already pissed.

Definitely an adrenaline rush I've never felt before nor do I ever want to again...

Not to be rude but i dont see how your "carry piece" would have made a difference he did nothing that could have justified you using it i understand it was stressful situation but you haveing a gun most likely would have made no difference. I open carry most of the time but i dont do it because i want to intimidate or because i feel it will make people polite. I open carry for two reasons 1) because CC isnt legal 2) so its there if there is a immediate threat on my family's life.

There is something to be said for "peace of mind". Worrying about a guy bigger than some compact cars coming unglued on you and hurting you or your loved one can be highly stressful. Knowing you can deal with a situation should it present itself, in the words of Samuel Clemons, gives a person "the quiet confidence of a Christian with 4 aces."

The difference would have been piece of mind. I get it and I'm glad nothing happened.

Did I miss the part explaining why you didn't have it?

[civilwarguy]

i understand the piece of mind i guess to a point but i am of the thinking if it didnt go to the level that i could have justified its use then having it doesn't make me any more safe. On the the their hand knowing self defense tactics other than with a weapon is how i combat that and give myself the option of defending myself with out having a lack of piece of mind.......I have no idea how much sense that makes as i confused myself with the wording when i wrote it.

I don't have it because I PCS'd and haven't had my firearms shipped up yet as it's pretty expensive.

Mainly I would have wanted it for peace of mind and in case it did go "to that level."

I've walked down dark alleys before and never had a problem. Always felt uneasy. It never went to any level..but I would have felt better with my little buddy at my hip.
