Here There and Everywhere

Expat wanderer

Targeted

On my way home from a meeting today, there was a guy in a big hurry. First he was behind me, in his great big beat-up black Chevy SUV, then passing me, and then, there he was, right in front of me at the next light. Here’s what gets my attention. On his lower left rear, just above the bumper, are three bullet holes, pretty closely spaced, too. It’s not easy to place three bullets that close together, and I can only imagine that it was done while at least one car was in motion, if not two.

So I’m impressed; someone around here is a sharp shooter.

But why would anyone be shooting at another car here in Kuwait? I can’t remember seeing another car with bullet holes.

  2. Hi Sene, Welcome. Hmmm, McNaught. Can’t say that the name rings a bell. I’ll have to take a look on Amazon. Thanks for the recommendation. 🙂

  3. Well our house has bullet holes from when the Iraqis were here. I havent checked if we’ve removed them but I dont think we ever did. Are you sure they were bullet holes on that car?

  4. Yeh, 1001, ‘fraid so. I would guess the SUV was maybe 7 – 10 years old, rode hard and put up wet. Fairly large caliber bullet holes, closely spaced.
