Calibers members, I was in the Westend, area of Atlanta, today leaving a venue at 7:00pm. As I was walking to my car that was parked in a lot three guys approached me and asked me for money. I tolded them that I did not have any money to spare (I think that was the wrong anawer) and then I was asked how much money do you have and where is it.

Mind you when this happened I did not continue to my car I turned around and headed
back in the direction I just came from. As I was walking back to the resturant they started
to follow me and as I sped up they did also.

Then it was, yo man how about those funds! Well that was it, I drew my weapon to low ready and shouted very loud "leave me alone" and thats all it took they turned around and ran in the direction we just came from. I happen to see and older guy standing there who said he saw the whole thing. How much I did not ask, he said those guys just did'nt know
did they.

I could feel my heart rate go up, I could see me shooting all three of them, I felt the recoil of my weapon, and even saw the crime scene all in a flash.

Having had to discharge my weapon twice defending myself in 89, against three guys and in 97, against four guys I saw all of this happening again.

Glad everything was resolved without anyone -- especially you -- getting hurt!
