44* I'd go outside in jeans and a sweat shirt.

Tomorrow's gonna be a heat wave. 60* warmer and snow.

Ok...well heres a reason not to rob a store in my hometown with a knife and when the store gives free coffee to cops and the town is full of gun toting rednecks. Tonight its about 9* outside. Ive been installing new switches and receptacles in my buddy's new house since 8 tonight. I have a few beers and decide to go to the store on my way home to get some "dinner" at 3am. Im in there and go to order. Next thing you know a guy pulls a knife on the cashier(Robbie). Ive known Robbie for like 4 years and he always works the late shift when I go in. I have my weapon on me...Well I didnt know what to do! Robbie gave him all the 1's and 5's in the register and he started his way around the store demanding money from the 4 other customers. He makes his way over to me and all he finds was my 9mm staring in his direction. I dont kno if he thought he had a gun or something that could reach me 20 feet away or not but whatever. Not 10 seconds after I pulled my weapon 4 cops walked in the door...Ive never been so happy to see cops in MY LIFE! They drew down on me and the robber. Robbie started yellin its the guy with the knife, not the gun! I threw the gun down and had my hands up in like .4 seconds. Funny thing is I didnt even get questioned about why I had a gun. They took our statements, arrested the idiot and I had my dinner re-toasted and I got a 100.00 gift card out of the deal...I was still pissed about the dings and scratches on my gun!

Now I think I will enjoy my dinner and go to bed!

Holy crap Tristan. Scary? In CC class they tell you to always be prepared to use your weapon. I guess some situations are a bit more complicated.

You were the only thing keeping him from taking off with everyone's money though and no one got hurt. Thats why people carry.

Good job.
