PS: Things are getting weird even in mostly polite WV. In the past three weeks or so, I've had two encounters with young guys trying to pick fights with me. All on the tainted west side of Charleston. In both cases I was sitting in my car, minding my own. First time this guy and a woman are walking by on Washington Ave. Being in the habit of maintaining situational awareness, I looked at them both. He took some umbrage and started mouthing off, though he did not approach me. The woman tried to shut him up but he was spoiling for some kind of altercation. I just ignored him, sidearm unholstered at that point and ready. Everything about him, from his skeevy appearances to his body language and, of course, his big yap, signaled to me that this could go south very easily. Luckily, the woman seems to have prevailed and the wen t on their way.
The other encounter I just don't recall that well, perhaps because it was less drama-laden. But it was a guy in a car with the "whuchoo lookin' at?" thing going on, and I ignored him as well.
I really don't want to have to shoot one of these foobs, but will do so without hesitation if they walk past a line. The world is now so full of anger, I am surprised it has not yet spontaneously combusted. Even so, I find it difficult to place myself in their mindsets with all the idiotic threats and posturing. They look and sound like idiots, which is their business. But if they make me draw my weapon, they are getting shot, end of story. Even here in the most gun-friendly state in the union, I trust no prosecutor, especially the lefty slime in Charleston, not to try to hang me regardless of how clean a shoot might be.
What a world.
