so i posted yesterday about a squib load malfunction. had a second round fired it could have been bad.
Today Mrs PaJ and I needed to go to the mall to visit a specific store. Of course she found just one more to visit. i waited outside sitting at a small cafe table just watching people. I noticed two young men coming towards me that looked...different. I was carrying a backpack with my EDC stuff in it including my 9mm. I had a 9mm on my person too. truely with the backpack I may have looked a bit out of place too.
As they approached me i felt that they were clearly interested in me sitting there. My spidy senses were tingling. They walked behind me and VERY close to me even though they had plenty of room to pass. i thought i might get elbowed in the head but they kept walking. then one of them split off and was circling around while the one who walked closest to me did an about face and came back directly towards me. I grabbed my bag, got up, walked a few steps to the entrance of the store where my wife was and turned around with my bag on my shoulder. It gave me the best vantage point with cover, and put me between my wife and the possible bad guys.
the guy who was approaching me peeled off and his buddy went to catch up to him. we saw them as we were leaving the mall. i was telling my wife the story and pointed them out. she said, its clear they arent here shopping.
Paranoid? maybe. but something was just not right.
