Chattanooga, Brainard Rd:
Wife and I decided to take in a late movie and after contacting our overnight babysitter we got the kids fed, bathed, and ready for bed.
Earlier I had tried some new hollow points in a .380 Walther PPKS and they fed 100% so I cleaned the weapon and put it on the refridge so instead of carrying the .45, I put on a Bianci IWB holster and took the Walther.
After the movie we went couple of places to eat and discovered they closed at 12:00 so I drove to the "Steak and Ale" which closed at 2 A.M. Parking lot was empty other than employee automobiles parked to the side.
Finished eating ~1:15 and left, as we got to the car, I let her in the passenger side, went around the back of the car to the drivers side and got in. It being her car and the ignition switch on the steering gear, I was fumbling with the keys and a motion to the left caught my attention. A man in a tan suit was running toward the car with his right hand in his pocket and his left reaching out for the door handle. I don't really remember getting the Walther but it was in my right hand with my left hand wrapped around it pointed at his head. He saw the weapon at the same time as my wife turned to see what was going on and screamed "DON"T KILL HIM". The guy vanished!
I don't have a clue what his plan was but if he had had opened the door or pulled a weapon, I would have fired.
Prior to this incident, I often wondered how I would react to a threat. At that instant I had no hesitation, practice took over and everything went as smooth as silk until it was over, then I was pretty well wired.
Makes carrying this steel brick worth while and since that incident I carry if I'm not in bed and even then it's not far away
