Alice is a very good friend of mine. She can best be described as short, intelligent and very vocal woman. She had decided to take some night classes in a rather rough neighborhood. Her children were concerned about her safety as she walked from the parking lot to the building for her classes. They wanted her to carry a small gun for protection. Almost daily for two weeks they kept telling her to get a gun. Alice gave in; she got a permit to carry the gun. She took gun safety classes and finally agreed to carry the gun in her purse. She had no intention of using it but if it made the kids feel better and leave her alone about it, she’d do it. One evening she went Christmas shopping . It was dark and she was walking through the parking lot toward her car with her arms loaded down with packages. As she approached her car she saw four strange men sitting in her car. She kept her eye on them and the closer she got, the madder she became. Alice doesn’t drink nor smoke and other then just being in her car, they were smoking in her car and she was sure they were drinking beer too. She could image how her car would smell with the cigarette smoke and beer Her footsteps got faster and her heart was beating even faster and faster. Her face was flushed. She was mad.! She was so mad she was shaking. She got up to the car and said, ”Would you kindly get out of my car!” The men looked at each other and laughed. Alice sat her packages down and said, “Get out of my car. Now!” Once again they laughed. That did it! She pulled out her gun and said, “I said get out of my car. I am NOT going to tell you again." Four car doors flew open and four men took off running. Alice was feeling pretty good about all this maybe this gun thing wasn’t a bad idea after all. She started picking up her packages and as she turned around to pick up the last bag, she almost had a heart attack. Her car was parked three spaces up the row. |
