I haven’t pulled my gun and pointed it at another person, but had a close call once.
The long story is on my website, but the short story is that when we lived 45 minutes from town, these 3 men came down my driveway (a quarter mile long driveway – not just an accident).
My daughter was outside and they were chatting her up and I immediately had bad vibes so I grabbed my gun and stuck it in my jeans, appendix carry.
After being civil and getting myself between them and my girl, I asked them to leave. They laughed and said they were coming inside. I said, “No, you’re leaving NOW.” And while saying it, I raised up my shirt and put my hand on my gun. I had a plan in my head of the order I would shoot if I had to do it. I was mentally ready and I think they saw on my face I wasn’t messing around.
I never drew because they immediately put their hands up and walked backward to their car and left.
Scared the snot out of me but showed me the power of a woman being armed and confident enough to use it.
