Not as interesting an event as Lokster's, but was a good test.
I was CCing a .357 in my belly band when I took my daughters to Kinko's in Longmont yesterday to get some materials for my high school's career day this week. While I was loading the girls into the car, I saw the older one look out the farside of the car and just STOP and STARE. I went to middle orange and my internal dialog went something like:
"What's she looking at? Is it a threat?"
"Don't know. Can't see."
"I didn't see anything near or approaching when I was on that side."
"Ok, do you want to waste more time in this conversation until you get a better view or do you feel like GETTING YOUR HAND ON YOUR WEAPON?"
I got my hand under my coat and shirt onto the grip just as she broke her stare and went about buckling herself into her car seat. I didn't see anything through the windows, but kept my hand on the grip as I stepped around and scanned the surroundings. Didn't see anything and it was so brief she probably didn't even know that she had looked at something to debrief with her. It was a good drill, though. I only grabbed the bottom of the grip at first and had to reposition to get ready to draw.
