This being my own weblog about guns and the right to life, I would be remiss if I didn't post something about what happened to me today.

I drew my weapon to the ready on a big crazy guy in the parking lot outside my office, clearly insane, violent, and threatening to kill me.  Fortunately no shots were fired, I was able to withdraw to safety, and there were lots of witnesses (the guard in the lobby plus occupants of the building watching from upstairs; the disturbance started on a floor occupied by University of Phoenix, where this poor guy was a student).

Ironically, at the time I was preparing to teach a ccw class tomorrow morning, at my law office in the same building.  Too busy now prepping for the class to reflect much on this now, but it's difficult to ignore a shock like this.  First time I've ever faced a direct and immediate threat of criminal attack.
