BS... When scum is hanging around, prove to the scum you’re their worst nightmare.
I’ve found in the past when people think they can intimidate you then you you need to be twice as intimidating and it scares the hell out of them.
Craziness met with more craziness works every time.
Kudos on the poster...
I was leaving the gate at a remote wooded site with my pistol on my chest harness (exposed). Mainly for meth heads, but it would put some hurt on a bear as well.
There was a car across the way, and the guy approached me. Needed some help getting his car unstuck. I let him lead the way while scanning the area. He was stuck, and in talking to him it sounded reasonable. I let him borrow a jack and he did most of the work.
Having the gun visible made me more comfortable in helping him, as I’m guessing (perhaps a wrong guess!?) if he had been a meth head looking for trouble he would have bypassed me.
A friend of a friend was lured into a trap by the methhead girlfriend saying they needed a jump start. The guy shot him and then they stole his car.
