Bullet Proof
First let me say that this story is second hand but I have no reason to doubt it.
My friend from church told me this weekend about an incident that occurred one Sunday when he was working in the sound booth. According to him he was training a new soundman when he noticed that the guy was carrying. He then told me that he reached over and grabbed the guy’s gun and asked is that what I think it is. He told me the trainee slapped his hand away and backed up and that he (my friend) then told him he had no objection to the trainee carrying.
The story is kinda weird to me because on the one hand I can’t imagine anyone being that “white”. When I add the fact that the trainee is a SF Medical Sgt w/ at least one combat tour it’s even less believable, but if I was going to go “white” anywhere I suppose it would be in the sound booth at church while I was totally focused on learning a new skill.
Be that as it may I believe it happened and I am certain my friend doesn’t realize how absolutely stupid his actions were and I’m even more certain he won’t” get it” if I tell him.
How would you handle such a situation? What would you do if someone was dicking around and grabbed your gun?
Before you answer remember
You semi know the guy that did it. This is not some random thug who is trying to steal your gun or attack you
You’re in the middle of a church service and you’re trying to maintain some level of concealment, you really can’t just start wailing on the guy.
What would you do?
Based on my knowledge of my friend I wouldn’t waste my time trying to explain why he was wrong, I Would ask him not to do it again and I would never put myself in that position again. Just as, after this weekend, I am going to be much more circumspect in what I share w/ him.
