Single-Sixer
At (79) I have been a long time concealed carrier... and am a strong advocate of top information and training before getting one.
Last week my training from a long time back (8 hrs classroom and 4 hrs shooting) really paid off.
I pulled into a Target parking lot, and was getting out of my truck. I am somewhat handicapped, so have to stand when I get out for minute or so to get my knees ready to walk.
As I got out I notice a "suspicious subject" approaching me from between other cars, so I immediately sat back in my truck and left the door open.
He came over looking for money. I told him I could not help him, but good luck. Well he kept on getting more and more persistent, to a point that I became concerned.
So I calmly pulled out my .45 auto, and held it on my the far leg from the door, pointed at the dash, but so he could see it, and told him he best leave... NOW.
To say he immediately reversed course would be minor..
Sad part is when I went in the store and reported it, their comment was, "Yah, that happens a lot"
Not saying it would have turned out badly, but my CCW sure made sure it didn't .
