"Shootout at the OK parking lot!
Shots were fired at the OK parking lot last night. Two parties were involved in the shooting, both were CHL holders. Below are the statements given to police.
CHL 1. I was coming out of the store and approaching my car when I saw a man hiding behind my car. I believed that he was waiting in ambush so I put my hand on my weapon at which time I saw the man reach for what I believed to be a weapon. fearing for my life, I pulled my weapon. At the same time the other man pulled a weapon so I fired 3 shots.
CHL 2. I was putting my stuff I just bought at the store in the trunk of my car when I saw a strange looking man headed straight for my position. I feared for my life so I reached for my weapon. At that moment I noticed the man had a gun in his hand so I fired 3 shots. I was able to avoid injury from the other man's fire by taking cover behind the car parked next to me.
Neither of the shooters were injured, however, 6 bystanders were wounded and taken to local hospitals. Their condition is unknown at this time.
Several anti-gun groups are using the episode as an example to support their belief that private ownership of guns should be banned."
Just kidding. Nothing wrong with being prepared and aware of your surroundings. You can't always judge a book by it's cover. However, there must be a balance between awareness and an itchy finger. I don't think the OP has an itchy finger. That being said, I sure hope we never park next to each other.
