re: Using Your Gun for Defense - Stories

So, I work at a hospital that is surrounded by some fairly shady neighborhoods. After working there about a month I bought my first pistol(Glock 19) and started keeping it at my bedside and in my car to and from work. Fast forward about 6 months and I'm at a red light heading home around midnight. An urban male in his late teens/early 20s on one a bike flashed by my driver's side window and turns in front of my car and keeps going like he's circling me. Grab my Glock and start checking my mirrors and he flashed by my window again. I punched the gas through the red light, almost hit him, and got the frick out of there. I couldn't tell if he was carrying or not but it scared the shite out of me.
