A reminder of how we used to own the open space, windows down, keys in the ignition, leaving the engine running, the open space was not a hostile environment that we had to pass through in-between safe places, like work and home.

In Omaha, if I’m filling one of our vehicles and by myself, the keys come out of the ignition and I’m typically armed. If you have the keys, you can throw them away from you.

I always pump gas with a lit cigarette. That way people always give me wide berth.

The democrats have lived in the stench of the DC cesspool for so long they do not know what fresh air smells like. They are unnerved by the safety now there and wish to return to their cesspool environment.

I don’t live anywhere near a big crime-ridden city, and I’ve never left my car door open or unlocked while pumping gas. I’ve always taken precautions when it comes to being secure in and out of my car. I had a 25 year career in uniform with NY State’s prison system where safety, security, and key control was a part of life every day. And it carried over into the 22 years I’ve been retired.
