carrying a shotgun. "He would have been better off if he parked right 
here at the parking meter," said Officer Steve Mayberry, pointing to the

Oops, Wrong Car: A Texas man, abducted by a gang of carjackers, shot two 
of them when they let him out of his vehicle in an empty lot, a few 
hundred feet from a police station, at shift change. (Fortunately, the 
young man spotted suspicious vehicles while washing his car and placed 
his pistol in his pocket; it might have been wiser to have been carrying 
it in a holster in the first place.)
