if it's this dangerous to get gas, or if gas stations are such high risk places to get car jacked... then it's time gas station owners hire security/bouncers/ex-prison inmates - to prevent car jackings
I always have my glock in my front pocket when I fill up with gas.
and the crime has increased dramatically in the last few years, despite the govts claim that crime has dropped. an upscale shopping center in Atlanta, Lenox Phipps, which up until a couple of years ago had little to no violent crime, has had four murders in the last couple of years. when people realized you could riot and loot and burn with zero consequences , its game on. you have much higher odds of getting arrested and prosecuted for not wearing a mask or something, than for car jacking, or snatching a purse from a womans car at the gas station.
On a recent trip from Georgia, I was in a rental truck and stopped at very large truck stop to gas up. There was a station attendant with a holstered sidearm, cheerful and friendly, double checking if my rig was gas or diesel. There was also a panhandler asking for money for a trip to the next town. He was given about three gallons from the attendant and told to stay away. Wonder if he did stay away??
dude, not cool. No one with the intent to rob a gas station is standing at a gas pump, where they had to pay first to get gas, with a gun in their hand in case anyone pays attention and would like to call the cops to prevent a robbery
The potential perps would just move on to a station with no armed protection for its customers. It seems there are just too many people in some places that ought to be shot DRT.

ReplyDeleteMaybe she was planning to rob the place.

DeleteSo glad I live in a place where you do not have to be armed. Hell I don't even lock my front door.
ReplyDeleteIf that is a .38, which it seems to be, I think her pair of .45's are more powerful if she comes across a guy.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I was being facetious.
