Let me start by saying, maybe I got lucky, maybe I was being paranoid and it was nothing, I just don't know.
A couple of weeks ago, just before Christmas I had one of those caught off guard moments without a gun handy, part of my work responsibilities is to drop off the night deposit at the bank a few days per week on my way home, for that reason I usually keep a gun tucked into the dashboard of my truck (3/4 ton diesel pickup), anyway this happened my first day back at work after taking a week long vacation out of the country, and I had neglected to put the gun back in the truck. To try to keep the story short, the bank branch we normally use is remodeling and they have a temporary building with a pair of drive through lanes and night drop in their parking lot while the work is going on. I end up leaving work earlier than normal and taking the deposit since the other guy that also handles it had been doing it every day while I was on vacation. I arrive at the bank a little after 5PM (bank closes at 5pm), and pull into the drive through (drop box is next to teller window). This is where I make my first mistake, there was a woman in a car at the teller window, I pulled in behind her thinking she might be the last customer at the window, or also making a night drop, after a couple of minutes of nothing happening I notice she is talking on a cell phone, she procedes to get out of her car (small Honda) and knock on the teller window. I decide to roll down my window and open my door lean out to tell her the bank is closed, she yells back at me that they don't close until 5:30 pm (it is about 5:10 or 5:15 by this time, I know this is wrong, but am not going to argue with her), and she goes back to knocking on the teller window while talking on her phone, so I get back in my truck and decide it is time to back out from between the concrete curbs and circle for a few minutes. At this moment an old beat up truck rounds the end of the tempoary bank building and pulls in behind me with their high beam lights on, it is twilight just getting dark this time of year. (At this point I am starting to get parnoid and have just about decided that if I see any potentially agressive action I will be pushing a Honda out of my way to get clear). The woman continues to knock on the window for another 5-10 minutes before giving up and driving off, I decide to play it safe and drive off too, without stopping at the drop box. I don't know if the truck behind me dropped a deposit or not, I did cicle the block, saw the drive through was clear, and pulled in a quickly dropped the deposit, needless to say the next day I made sure I had my gun when I left home..
