Last night about 11pm I was walking across the parking lot of the hotel where I was staying. All of a sudden as I was about to arrive at my room (the doors are on the outside of the hotel) a stranger appears out of nowhere, it seems. He asked me if I could do him a big favor. He said he locked himself out of his car and needed a ride home to get another set of keys. He told me if I didn't help him he would have to sleep outside somewhere. He was a pretty derelict looking dude, looking like someone who might have just gotten out of jail (or escaped). I have a CCW but I don't always carry it. One of my guns, Kahr PM 9 was loaded but was about 20 feet away in my hotel room. My other gun, a Sig Sauer P226 9mm was unloaded and in the shoulder bag slung over my shoulder. I kept thinking "this guy is liable to pull out a gun and order me to drive him somewhere where I would probably end up on the side of the road in a pool of blood". Fortunately, he muttered something under his breath and took off. I proceeded to call hotel security when I got inside my room. I learned my lesson and will be more diligent about carrying my gun, probably my PM 9, I have a pocket holster for it.
