Being off topic yet I wil chime in:
I walked around the corner of a place I was bouncing. I practically walk into a guy pulling his gun out of holster under his arm. It was pointed at the young punks through his jacket.
I smiled and said excuse me. Could you do me a favor or two? The guy was totally taken by surprise. I asked him if I could take care of the problem for him myself or if not then could I quietly walk away and go inside the brick building to not be a witness?
This guys friend chimes in and starts to tell me the story. These two young punks were hitting on and commenting on the two men's women. (* Not sure if they were married or just with, never asked *) One of the women then told the gun holder to get into the car and they would all just leave. I had made sure I was not between him and the punks. He did not want to leave by being told too or by being scared off. I asked him to put away his toy and to continue with his plans for the evening, and that he could come back in the future, just leave his toy in the car. I would then go take care of the punks. He smiled and left.
(* The gun under control and out of sphere of responsibilty was my goal, i.e. no one hurt *)
I walked over to the punks and asked them what happened. Their story was that they had said the ladies were nice looking and then the guys took exception and one thing lead to another. They followed them out to the parking lot and were going to leave, but were having "fun" with the arguement. I asked him if they knew they had a gun pointed at them? Their reply. Gun? I will go get my Dad's Gun! I aksed where is it? At home in the safe. I said not much good when his was pointed at you. They could not believe it. NO way! was their comment. I had to explain that a gun could be pointed at them when the guy had his hand inside his jacket. The young punks started getting all upset and telling me how they were going to go home and then come back with their Dad's Gun and wait for them. I told them to go home and not come back. If they did, I would call the police. They left, no one got hurt that night.
