I was walking out of Walmart this morning (5am) and noticed a nefarious-looking gentleman leaning up again the wall right next to the entrance/exit. No biggie until, after about 10 steps into the parking lot, he started to what appeared to be following me. I kept a level head and thought things out as best as I could. I realized he was likely going to walk right by but the way he looked at me when I exited the building and then started walking in my direction alarmed me. So when I got the trunk of my car, I positioned myself where I would have the best opportunity to draw my weapon if, in fact, he had malicious intent. As he drew near he kept looking at me as if to size me up. I thought, "WOW I may actually have to go through with this!" As he walked within 5 feet I was waiting for him to turn towards me but, FORTUNATELY, he kept walking by. My heart was racing a mile a minute as I kept an eye on him while I quickly loaded my groceries into the trunk. He continued to turn around and watch me as he walked so, once I was in the car and moving, I called the police and informed them of the incident. They said they'd send a patrol unit over there but i didn't stick around to wait for him.
So how would you have handled this situation? After I left I realized I'd never even considered turning around and heading back into the store. That would have probably been the smartest thing to do, in hindsight.
