I was doing a tune up on my truck the other day had my gun on my hip at 3 o'clock as allways and I got a bit hot so i took my top shirt off exposing my gun (button up short sleve) open carry is legal here so no biggie. Once i was done with the tune up I steped acrossed the alley leaving my top shirt in the truck to my friends house directly behind my house. A older man was there with him who usually rides a bike down the alley and stops to listen to us play (we have a southern rock band). After a few minutes the older guy looks at me and boldly says " ill beat you down and take your gun " up till that point I havent payed much attention to him he is our local drunk. That being said I replyed to him simply "dont worrie about my gun its staying ware it is", knowing he was a drunk I was trying to be polite how ever he insisted he was going to take it more verbaly agressivle each time untill I finally had to tell him he would not get to it and and told him that was he end of the discussion. Still he insisted and I had to get verbally agressive at this point and he finally droped the subject. I am REAL glad he didnt act on his threat. It never got to a physical confrontation and my gun never had to be drawn. What might have been done better in that situation ? Please remember OC is my right in my home state i dont often use.
