my bad experience
After over 39 years in the oilfield as a company man, I have only had one really scary moment. Being left handed I often get out of the truck with my 1911 in my left hand where it stays as I open a gate or whatever. Carrying in the left hand in the dark is almost as good as carrying concealed... nobody thinks to look there.
One very dark night near Randado, Texas on a huge ranch I got out to open one of 17 gates to get to the drilling rig and two "illegals" approached and told me in Spanish to give them my truck. I put the 1911 on his nose and told them to leave... they did... no shots fired.
