Several years ago, when I was off duty @ home, I made a run to the store for milk and left my gun at home. Enroute I encountered two idiots drag racing who ran me off the road. I had the gall to blow the horn and they turned around and blocked me in. Four big dudes got out and were about to whip my butt. I badged them and put my hand inside my shirt, pretending to have a gun. They left and I NEVER left my house unarmed again. A side note; the next morning I found someone (wonder who) let the air out of all my tires.
