To kick it off.

Anyone know what it feels like to be told you will be shot one by one?

Lucky for him, my brother and I forgot we had a shotgun within reach, which was loaded.

If we had remembered, that robber would have died.

So, I carry something everywhere.

Sounds like the classic definition of a Conservative:

A Liberal that has been mugged.

1) he had a gun trained on them. No one’s tossing anything but their cookies.

2) According to all I have read & what another poster posted: impossible to get a CC in CA.

It’s easy to be a sideline commentator, but when you’re in the crosshairs you are in another world I would imagine.

Yes, that was a stupid question. CCW in LOS ANGELES???

Move to Indiana.

I can assure you there are more CCW folks in our Walmart (customers) than any punks feeling lucky that day!

“I moved out of the San Fernando Valley (Northern LA county, the Northridge-Chatsworth area) after living and working there for many years, in 2015. “

A couple of years ago, I went with a Black friend, and former LAPD officer who had “retired” to the East Bay, to work as Course Marshals at the Long Beach Grand Prix. On the way home, he suggested that we stop at a burger joint on Sepulveda in the Valley to get something to eat before hitting I-5. Having looked at a job change that would have taken me to Chatsworth, some year ago, I was shocked at how the area had changed. My Black, former cop friend, commented that “we should have been carrying.” Illegal immigration has destroyed Los Angeles County.

What a shock! So glad you’re safe! I’m very impressed with your ability to handle this during the event and now afterwards. Bless you, Bunny.

And this is what I have been in this thread; immediately jumping in with comments without showing much empathy at all for bunny slippers and the terrible experience just lived through.

I have no excuse for my behavior.

I also did not mean to be a scolding nanny. You offered good suggestions.

You also offered love and support. It’s all good. I see you live in Indiana. My grandparents lived in Anderson & I have wonderful memories of summers spent there

Do you think you could have dropped the madman if you had had a gun on you?

BunnySlippers, you remained very calm and rational throughout your ordeal. That is a very good mental sensibility to have during such a stressful event, and I admire your innate ability to deal with the hand that was dealt you greatly. You are a very psychologically strong woman whether you knew it or not at the time. But you know it now as you have been tested under fire. Kudo’s from this admiring Freeper.

I am so glad you’re safe. So, in CA, if you shoot someone in self-defense with a handgun without license, YOU go to jail?
