Normally, I try to walk out to the parking garage with one of my co-workers after work, since it’s always dark by the time I get out. I work in a large building and the parking garage is a particularly creepy place at night. You just never know who might be lurking in the corner! Since I was mugged a few years ago, I always carry my Beretta 9mm gun with me. It’s a Beretta 92FS, which is one of the best you can get. I previously did not carry a gun at all, but after being beaten up pretty badly, and robbed at gun point, I figure I have to fight back next time!

Well, the other night, I walked out to the garage alone, but I had my Beretta 92FS on me, and I was alert and ready to pull it out should I need it. I try not to be paranoid, but it’s difficult not to be since I did go through a pretty traumatic experience. Carrying my Beretta 9mm is the only thing that really makes me feel safe at this point. However, I am nervous about ever having to use it. I practiced a number of times with it down at the firing range, so I’m comfortable using it there, I just hate to think of having to use it in real life. However, I will have to if it comes down to it. Well, as I was walking out to the garage, I heard someone coming towards me quickly, so I grabbed my Beretta 92FS, turned and pointed it toward the sound. Thank God I didn’t fire it! It turned out to be a co-worker friend of mine, who was trying to run up and scare me! She didn’t know that I had previously been mugged and carried a gun, so boy was she surprised to suddenly find herself staring into the barrel of my Beretta 9mm. It was the most shocked and scared look that I’ve ever seen on someone’s face! Both of our hearts were beating a million miles an hour!
