Rick activated the safety on his weapon and placed it on the top of his car, raising his hands. The security guard approached the fallen man with his ...evolver still pointed at the dead man’s mid section. Quickly ascertaining that Arnie was in fact deceased, he spoke to Rick without turning. ‘Are you okay?’ ‘Yeah.’ ‘Please tell me you’ve got a CCL (Concealed Carry License) to have a loaded weapon within reach in your auto.’ ‘That I do—Florida and Georgia.’ ‘You’re going to be a little late.

You're grounded for the rest of the summer." What?!" Shelly yelled outraged. "That's not fair!" We haven't been here three full days yet and you're breaking the rules.
