Last night, Wed august 10, @ about 11:30
Unfortunately, I was someplace I was unable to open carry my weapon, so I left it in the car.
When I got done I headed next door to the Walmart to raid the candy Isle, as the wife told me not to come home without masses of chocolate.
I parked my car, but I was so tired, i decided not to put on my holster but just to put the gun in my back pocket. It really does not fit in the pocket, but having it with me is better than leaving it in the car, it does me no good sitting in the glove box. with it tucked in my back pocket, i walked towards the door of Walmart.
I noticed a couple, a very short skinny Male and a very tall large Female, standing by the entrance that is marked "Pharmacy". Trying to mind my own business I made a mental note and continued on my way to the door, thinking to myself, gee they look like Mutt and Jeff.
As I was in earshot the female, who was on a cell phone said very loudly "do you think the buses run this late to Walmart" For a second I though she may have been talking to me so I glanced over at them and noticed she was on the cell phone looking at the male. Since they seemed not to be talking to me, I just proceed inside the store.
I walked through the produce section looking for some Juice and then headed over towards the back of the store, where I engaged a store employee for directions to the candy isle.
I found the location given me and began the search for the perfect pack of chocolate for my bride when I heard "I don't know what I want" I turned my head and see Mutt and Jeff standing behind me. I should have kept my mouth shut and minded my own business but I blurted out something like "keep looking you find something that tickles your fancy" I no sooner got that out of my mouth when the female, said in very demanding tone to me "what did you say?", I repeated it and she make a huff sound. Since I already had my pogey bait, and the fact she kinda was rude, I headed for the checkout.
As I got to the checkout and put my stuff on the counter, guess who was standing in back of me, yep you got it: Mutt and Jeff.
Now I was getting a bit concerned.
As the cashier was ringing up my stuff, i positioned myself so that when i lifted my shirt my gun would be in their view. With the cart between them and me, I lifted up my shirt to pull out my wallet and made damn sure they they had a clear view of my 40 Cal sticking out of my back pocket. as I put my wallet back in, i again made sure they were able to see it. Since its silver in color, its hard to miss.
I paid for my stuff and left the store, less then 2 second behind me strolled Mutt and Jeff.
As I turned towards them, now watching their every move, they headed towards a car and got in, pulled out and drove off.
Now my after though is this: Why would she be so concerned if buses run by Walmart that late at nite if they had a car with them:
I think I was a robbery target and the site of my gun may have just save me from a bump on the head and even a dirt nap.
This is one time I now wish that I was OCing rather the CC my gun, but I am glad I decided at the last minute to at least bring it in with me, I just wish I was not so lazy that I chose CC instead of OC.
