Can't imagine you have. Do you really think bad guys will approach you openly in t-shirts? Of course they stopped immediately cause they were the ones who got scared. All the rest is just guessing.

Hoof Hearted; just the idea of picknicking with a gun ready is just unheard of overhere, I expect that in countries like Russia, Cheznia, Iraq but not in the US.

I suppose I'll reiterate: Bill was a police officer (experienced with guns and their appropriate use), we were picnicing at a remote location and it was after dark when we were approached. I would have to ask Mother, but I'm pretty sure the gun was locked in the glovebox of the car until dusk and the lantern had to come out...
I don't give a damn skippy if the two t-shirt guys were freaked out by the snick of the safety coming off... we were just fine enjoying our family-time and needed no further company. They had no business with us, as evidenced by them leaving shortly after the short discussion exchange.
