No shots fired, but a nerve wracking hour and 15 minutes of strategizing and moving. I seriously contemplated abandoning the comforters and paying Kim back later. even called 911 to alert authorities to the perceived threat. long story. long hour.

He noticed a young man subtly change direction to coincide trajectories with them. When they came closer, he was watching the guys eyes, and didnt like what he saw there. Friends hands went to lift his shirt and put hand on pistol there, young man looked slightly away from him, friend looked behind, there were 5 guys approaching from behind, first guy warned them off. Friend hadn't seen them coming. Friend is large, and not the slightest bit meek looking, but was chosen anyway. <br /><br /> Friends wife continued the conversation, completely unaware of the turn of events.Anomalousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-35720756133082996592012-03-14T12:35:42.182-04:002012-03-14T12:35:42.182-04:00The thing is, the best way to not have to shoot so...The thing is, the best way to not have to shoot someone is to be aware and confident, and it has nothing to do with seeing them and being able to plan as they approach what you are going to do. The fact is, if you're aware and confident - if you're walking with your shoulders back, your head up, and telegraphing a "don't mess with me" attitude, they won't approach you in the first place. They'll just wait for easier prey to come along.Goobernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-76043110917571053732012-03-14T11:38:36.501-04:002012-03-14T11:38:36.501-04:00It never hurts to be reminded.
