I am at an airport hotel in Johannesburg. The drive here was more eventful than I would like.
We were following the GPS instructions to the airport and driving through a rough area. There was an attempt to hijack us! One person knocked on the car on the right rear to distract us while the other came at us from the front. My friend, David, drew his sidearm, a CZ Shadow in 9 mm. Upon seeing David's pistol, they scurried away and we continued on. Both of us were high on Adrenalin. David held the firearm in his hand until we exited that hell hole. I reached for my carry gun, but of course nothing was there.
David, a former student of mine, saved our asses. He was ready to use his 17 rounds of Winchester Ranger +p+ hollow point ammo.
I chalk the incident up as another South Africa adventure. We both are fine, if a little shaken. The lesson is don't follow a GPS' instructions before checking what type of neighborhoods you will be going through.
