Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC, Looking for some Gun advice.

[Brian E. Buxton (BrianBuxton]

I was making a night deposit one night at the local bank and had two 
guys come up behind me and demand the money I was depositing plus a 
hefty withdrawal from the ATM located behind us.  I turned around, 
informed them that I carried a weapon and that I felt very threatened 
and that I would use deadly force if necessary.  One of the guys began 
to take a step towards me and I pulled my Walther PPK-S from its holster 
and they both turned and ran immediately.  Never had to fire at anyone 
though and that was the only time I have actually had to remove a weapon 
from its holster.  Have had some road rage idiots get out of their 
vehicles though, and all it took was for me to inform them that I had a 
weapon in my vehicle.  I usually carry either my PPK-S, a Glock 23 .40 
cal, or a Browning Hi-Power.  The Browning usually stays in my night 
stand though.  With either my Mossberg short barrel / pistol grip12 ga. 
or my Franchi SPAS-12 under my bed!
