I guess you had to be there, what occurred is not normal. There was no outright threat but I think the situation could have escalated in a heartbeat. I would much rather be safe than a victim.texanjoker wrote:Nothing in your posts indicates any threat. Certainly good your wife didn't roll the window down, but I wouldn't get too alarmed by it.

Re: Close call in parking lot
I do not recall the address of where it was located. I thought maybe religious material but due to being early morning and dark this did not seem too likely. I think the vehicle, out of state plates, two female's in car and being the minorities made them a target. I may be slightly paranoid but my wife has been a victim twice already. I think they might have been trying to do something before the driver (me) came back to the vehicle. I do not trust anyone anymore.

Close call in parking lot
So I took a trip to Missouri to visit family and on the way back went through Tulsa. Due to construction I ended up going through town and being early in the morning I decided to go into McDonald's and use the restroom and get coffee and breakfast. It was still dark but the neigborhood did not "look" bad so I did not see anything wrong with stopping and leaving my wife and daughter in the car.
So, I had my Ruger LCR on me (with 15 rounds of spare ammo) and left the HKP2000 in the car with my wife. Before I left the car I handed it to her and walked in. My wife always locks the doors and usually watches what is going on around her.
So after I use the bathroom I place my order, they have no coffee so I end up waiting for about 10 minutes. As I am checking out the place I realize from the customers that this isnot the best area to be in. My coffee is ready so I head to the car.
My wife tells me that a lady walks up the the window, knocks and says she has something for her to read. My wife said no thanks and did not roll the window down as requested. The lady got into her SUV and drove off. Apparently she drove up, saw our vehicle and decided to bring us some "reading" material.
I asked my wife if she grabbed the HK when the lady came to the window and she said no. I got onto here for that telling her that if things went bad she may not have time to grab it.
All in all nothing bad happened but I think it could have gone wrong in a hurry. Next time I will stick with the drive through where I can be with my family.
