Crazy day!
So today I woke up 20 minutes earlier than I needed to so I just got up and started my morning. I was out of the house extra early and remembered I needed to get gas since my fuel light was on in my truck yesterday. I pull in no problem since it is 4am. I am pumping gas and another car drives by slowly on the main street and turns at the corner but does not pull into the pumps or the parking area. The car has a driver and 2 passengers. The 2 guys get out and the one walks to the corner of the gas station store section and sets his back pack down and starts rummaging through it. The other guy keeps walking between the driver and the guy at the corner of the building. The second guy is hard to keep track of since the pumps are partially blocking my view. Now the dude at the corner picks up hi bag and starts walking to me. At this point I have my hand in my pocket gripping my pocket pistol because I believe I am about to be robbed. Guy gets fairly close and say “Hey man can I catch a ride with you?” I tell him “Nah” and he looks at me and starts to turn away and says “Stuck up motha fucka”. I watch him as he goes into the store portion of the gas station and moved to the back of the store farthest away from the clerk. At this point I think I am about to witness an armed robbery so I stop pumping gas, get in my truck and pull out onto the main road. As I do this the car that was sitting at the corner of the store drives off. I never saw where the other guy that got out of the car ended up at. I go to the gym and start my workout. I am not there for more than 5 minutes and and an Arlington County police officer walks in wearing a tactical vest and is looking around. I am thinking Oh crap the place did get robbed and I did not do anything or even call the police with a suspicion. I am not interested in being the crazy guy that calls the police all the time and it turns out to be nothing, but damn the cop is here. He speaks with the manager for 2 minutes and leaves. After the gym I drove past the gas station and all was well. If something had happened the place would have been closed for at least a couple hours so all was good. But was it really? The guy that got out of the car was trying to get me to drive him somewhere without even knowing where I was going. His buddy was still there in the car when he asked me for a ride. Very strange. I am glad I live in a place where it is OK to have a CCW permit. There is a nice piece of mind knowing anyone can keep themselves safe if bad things happen.
