Wife just called and said to make sure I filled up both cars today.

Sounds like a good idea: (1) Sniper may have difficulty setting up another shooting scene fast enough to shoot today. (2) It's raining today.

Myself, I'm going to take care to get gas only on military bases for as long as this goes on.

When the foliage/leaves start falling, this sniper will have slim pickings. I'm hoping he'll be caught and killed soonest.

I doubt it - shooting in the rain was my favorite in Country. The rain covers noise and people are no where near a observant. Also, makes a hit easier to see from the water splatter.

There are some common sense methods to use while in gas stations. One is to position your car so that it is between you and the major roadway during a fill-up. Also keep the door open while filling. It might deflect a shot. Use the auto-fill feature until it clicks off, then get out and move quickly.

If you have to shop at Michael's, position your vehicle so the driver's door opens toward the store entrance. That way the car will be between you and the building and provide some protection. If you have to load a minivan in a grocery store lot, position the van so that the rear door (or slider) is opposite the major highway, as much as possible. Your back should be toward buildings when loading, not the highway or open spaces.

If this goes on, all gas stations will be military bases! In the meantime, that sounds like an excellent idea as long as the base gas station isnt' within rifle range and line of site of the "outside".

Got gas at Walter Reed a few days ago. Felt all safe until I heard a train whistle. Remembered at the edge of the base (near the gas station) there is a woods and train tracks. Duh.

Time to formulate Plan B.
