Real story---
I went to a pizza parlor where the neighborhood was changing...nobody knew which way. It has improved a lot now.
I had called in a pizza pick up order so I had to park in the parking lot behind the pizza place, but you walk in this dimly lit pathway between the two buildings to come in the front door.
I pick up the pizza, I have a Government Model .45 inside my waistband on my right hip. I have a long sleeve flannel shirt on over it with the tail out.
I am carrying the pizza and am about five feet from the parking lot when a car without lights on comes up fast in front of me with the door already opening before it stops.
A young man jumps out and he starts to run towards me.
I keep the pizza between him and me in my left hand as I am getting ready to throw it at him as a diversion as I draw.
Young man sees the drawing motion and he immediately goes into the action of a baseball player sliding into base. Pizza drops and he does a 180 turn without stopping...pizza hits the ground and something else clatters on the sidewalk as the .45 clears the shirt tails.
I don't snick the safety off as he is already running towards the car. He jumps in and they take off.
Results? I think I lossed the speed contest because if he came up with the knife He could have beat my draw.
Pizza topping got mooshed to the lid.
I got a free knife (the object that clattered out of his grip)...I broke the blade from the handle and left it there...cheap switch blade.
Only thing I didn't put in this time...my wife and daughter was with me at the time. I stepped in the way of the slider on purpose....to shield them.
Comments anyone? Anyone? Suggestions?
