Same here, pretty much
One trip I ran into a gas station ⛽⛽⛽
Just for a quick transaction
Accidentally left everything in the car
Pistol, pepper spray, 2 cell phones 📱📱 and I think I had a functional Taser (cheap Chinese junk no longer works)
Because I was just going for an easy transaction
Thieving clerk, I called her on it -took 20 minutes to get what was due to me
An idiot customer stepped in
One of the rare moments when I thought I might have to draw but it was in the rental car
Like you I hope and pray that I never need to...
When I got to the rental car I was hands-on
Fortunately or Thank God an Sheriff who was unaware of all that happened pulled up to gas his cruiser
The idiot drove off then
I exited the premises driving away at a right angle to his departure
My rule of thumb is whatever I’m carrying, it always stays attached to my person.
