Keep that guard up!

Last night - 6/1/07 at about midnight two friends and I went to that 24 hour taco place setup in a little camper on this gravel parking lot. It was at huffmeister and 290 on the Cypress Falls HS side, people familiar with the area will understand that its pretty secluded at that time of night.
We arrived in a pretty nice lopey Z28 Camaro and a couple customers took interest immediately. So while my friend ordered for us the other guy and I started talking to them. Held a nice conversation for a while, then as we were waiting for our order they just walked away to their truck.
I kept an eye on them as we were secluded and they did seem to like this car, sure enough what I at first thought was a Daisy BB gun came out of the car, it was pretty dark I couldn't tell for sure. My hand went into my pocket and gripped the Keltec P3AT, they still hadn't done anything very threatening; just moved around to the side with it. They then left into a field and several seconds later I heard a shot from a small caliber go off, like .22LR. Maybe they were hunting rabbits, I don't know.
Its just kind of sobering to know how quickly something like that can develop from nothing, neither of my friends noticed. And had it come down to it, at the moderate distance they were at (about 20 yards away) and given the low light, I'd of only been able to point and pray that a shot landed. Even with a "less devistating" caliber like that I felt like they had a huge advantage over us having the rifle.
So even though nothing threatening happened in this case, it just goes to show how quickly you could be taken advantage of if you let your guard down even for a second.
