I made a quick trip to the store last night, and I was CCing. On my return home, at the entrance of the road I live on was a car that appeared broke down. I stopped and a man approached and asked if I had jumper cables. I replied, not with me but could get some and would return. I got the cables and went back out and noticed another man walking towards the car and the guy I talked to was in the car with a girl. The man in the car got out and went straight to the bed of my truck as I was opening my door. He said it was a new battery and didn't understand why the car died. I had to pull my truck to the front of the car which put me in the road. When I got out to hook the cables up the man I first talked to always wanted to flank me. It was kinda unnerving. I was still carrying but I had my fleece shirt pulled over my weapon. I finally put my back to the grill after hooking up my battery and give the other end to the guy wanting to flank me. I figure this would keep him where I could watch him. This put one on each side of me. Then the man that wanted to flank me told his buddy to try it. The car fired right up as though it had plenty of juice in the battery. I dont believe it was dead at all. They unhooked the cables, handed them back and jumped in their car. I got in my truck and had the high beams on which lit them up very well. I could see the guy that flanked me continuously, lean over to the driver and have a quick conversation. The driver asked him something and back saying, "Man, he had a pistol on his side." He had a look of disappointment on his face and that was unsettling. I could read his lips and am almost certain that is what was said. It was uncomfortable from the moment I pulled in my drive and had that gut feeling something was not right. I hate not to help someone when they are in need, but with the way things are in the world today its hard to trust some folks. But I honestly believe my gun probably saved me from getting mugged or worse. After getting home I wondered how he knew I was carrying and figured its when I reached up to hook the cables on my truck, my weapon was exposed enough for him to see. Be careful out there folks.
