Close call at the minute mart

Sounds like all ended well....

In any event...
Stopping a threat at times , will require out of the box thinking...or using what you have , rather than what you wish to have.

I'll bet the Indians soiled their pants though.

Not a word out of those guys. They were chatting away when I came in but when homey ran out the door you could have heard a pin drop.

I called my boss right after that and told him what happened. He asked me why I didn't have a gun on me, he knows me. I told him as much as I travel in Memphis, KC and New Orleans regularly Ive been kind of desensitized to people being trash but yeah, I should probably start carrying when Im traveling.

Not a fan of mini-marts nor gas&sips. Do shop one for my cigs monthly, however it's in the morning. An occasional lotto ticket when there's some massive amount, same -in morning. So perhaps less likely to be amidst some comeuppance, hopefully.

Traveling? Yah, sure. Need what's needed when whatever is needed.

I don't understand why folks shop at them regularly/daily, but am not them...

Is there a better place that you read about those kind of stories?

All due respect to Paul Blart, sometimes that's all you got to work with

I dunno. Your comment in the original post suggests otherwise.

He wasn't looking right at me and I could have cold cocked him.

Man, to me that would have been a super tough decision. If you're sure the guy has a gun and sure you could have cold cocked him, would that be safer than running a bluff? I get it that it will likely create more complications such as police involvement, but from a safety standpoint...

Tough, tough decision made in a split second. Not sure at all what I would have done. Glad it worked out for you.

At that point he still had his hand in his pocket . If he had flinched one way or the other I would have knocked his lights out . I had a good 10 inches and a hundred pounds on him and not so much now but I'm a pretty violent person . Yeah there was a lot going on in a couple of seconds.

Hmm... Kinda makes you wonder exactly how @wired knew he had ten inches on the guy...

He was about 5'5" and I'm 6'3" . Not hard to figure out. Mound outa the gutter kids. I'm a bit imposing.

It does nothing to get anyone's mind outta the gutter if you post up what could easily be the box art cover to the 1980s classic
"The Jersey Gym Boys Have A Night In"

think you may have forgotten to mention the $20 handy you got behind the minit-mart just prior to all of this!

That would explain why you didn't get your coke at the concierge glfridge that every Hilton has.
Did the Hindis at least give you your Coke for free?

Your son must be a big fella as well. I remembered you posting a photo of him with you in it. Just went back and looked at it and he appears to be even taller than you.

I'm 5' 10" and that's about all the height allocated to my immediate family. My son may be an inch taller, which is amazing since my wife is 4' 10" (she lies a lot and says she's 4' 11 and 3/4").

I wish I was still a kid. I'm pretty sure I'm older than you. Just a kid at heart though.

Hell no. I've never bought a thing from those concierge stores. I get 65 bucks a day meal allowance. Hardly enough for one meal much less 3

Yeah he's 6'4" . You see his mother's height? You have to look down. She's there.
