Here is what happened: My wife's great uncle had to take my wifes grandmother to the emergency room yesterday morning. On his way back out to the car (Emegency room parking) a man came up and asked him if he could move his car because "his babies" bottle was under the vehicle. My Great Uncle "GU-in law" used his electric-door opener to unlock the car and as soon as he did the man jumped into the passenger side and told him he had a gun and to start driving or he'd kill him.
My GU-in law said he had what "looked like a gun" but could not tell for sure.... (he is about 80 yr-old and I'm sure he was very nervous)... the BG told him to drive around town for a while and then had him pull over. He demanded my GU's wallett and told him to get out of the car. Then the BG drove off.
So far, no news about the car (don't expect to get it back in one piece) and since the BG has the wallett and knows where my GU and Grand-mother in law live, I thought we might need to review the security around the house....
My GU does not carry, but it got me wondering.... I ALWAYS carry or have a gun in my truck.... when my wife and I left the hospital today (to see her Grandmother) I told her right off the bat that if the oppurtinuity arose, I would have shot BG at the first possible moment. I'd like to think I would not put myself in the position, but if so, I'd rather be offensive and shoot first.... then to let the BG decide when and if he would shoot me...
Just goes to show you that "it" can hit the fan at any time....
Any thoughts?
