BOATMAN98:
Lesson #1 here, if you carry, never leave your "main carry" at home! Unless you're going to be going through a metal detector/body search area, you should never be unarmed. Never.

Well, a similar incident happened to me on the street in front of the post office. My guns were in the vehicle with my disabled daughter. I was outside the vehicle. I simply locked the door with my car remote, and was greeted by a loud, rude, profanity from a man who said, (in words I cannot repeat here) I was not gonna steal your (explecative). He left, and I warned the postmaster that he should have a security guard in the parking lot, or there was liable to be an incidence of violence in the parking lot. He quickly lanced at me, I guess to see if I was armed, (and I was not) because I am a law abiding citisen. Now I go only early in the morning. I always have two guns with me but take the time to move them to my car console or car pouch before I drive to the post office parking lot. When I thought about the incident later, it came to my mind that the guy could have actually planned to carjack my vehicle, but got mad when I set the alarm. I follow the rule of always being armed with at least one gun, usually my CA 44 Bulldog, in a paddle holster, and a S&W 38 Spl in my cargo shorts pocket, (CA makes good pocket holsters), but I do not carry at the post office, nor on VA property. I do intend to carry everywhere I can legally carry, and will not go anywhere that is legal to carry without my cell phone and my guns, because if I can help it I do not intend to be a victim. At this same Post Office I quite
often see police from a nearby town enter the post office and they are armed
but I suppose that it is acceptable for them to be. I don't think they are on
official business, when I have seen them enter it armed. Also there is no
"no gun" sign at the post office. Small rural town.
