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!

Wow, I am glad that you and everyone else is okay Tristan.
So my sweet little 4lb Bilstein thinks he is a killer..... He brought in a dead mouse this morning. woo hoo. He is still struting around here like he is a stud. Wouldn't be so bad if I could teach him how to take them back outside after he brings them in to show them off.

Thats cute Cris. When my dog catches a mouse, she tries to hide it in her mouth so ya cant take it away from her. Its funny as hell! She also tries to pretend she doesnt hear you when you call her to come here.

Tristan, that is the kind of story that I like to read in the NRA magazine. It is situations like these that show the libs that the right to carry does work. Good job!
Jacob, we were trying to get my son's semi started yesterday morning, -34*, and the second new shop heater wouldn't work. Got a different one of a different brand, put it together this morning and it works fine. 'Course, it is 50* warmer today than yesterday, 20*. Feels like a heat wave!

Dallas caught a mouse one time and she brought it up onto the porch in her mouth. Susan opened the door and saw this mouse tail hanging out of Dallas's mouth. She looked closely and the tail was moving..
She grabbed Dallas's collar and told her to drop it. She looked at Susan and swallowed it.....alive.

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.

I just hope I never have to pull it again for the rest of my life. The good thing is I KNOW I wont hesitate to pulll it from now on. That was my worry when I first got my concealed carry permit.
Ill see if the local paper will even give the whole story when/if they write about it. They are on the FARRRRR left side so they probably wont mention a legal concealed carry resident had anything to do with this.
