While a 65-year-old woman waited in a car with her adult daughter and grandson for another family member to finish shopping. a suspicious man opened the back door. The woman struggled to close the door as the man continued to try to pull it open. Finally, the grandmother drew her concealed-carry pistol, causing the man to start briskly walking back to his car. The victim then got out of the car and started yelling at him, and he simply said, “Sorry, ma’am,” and drove away. This frightening incident may have escalated had the grandmother not taken the steps she did to protect herself and her family. (FoxSanAntonio.com, San Antonio, Tex., 12/08/20)
