as many of you I have my ccw.

Today I stopped for gas in a bad area of cincy. I felt very unsafe and made sure my pistol was on me. As I finished pumping gas some white trash redneck woman asked me for a dollar. I said no and went to get into my car. Her husband started to try to distract me by telling me something about his car and get me to take a look at his car so he could jump in mine.

I jumped in my car and had my pistol in hand he kept coming closer acting very odd. I was able to get out of situation without having to draw my pistol/point it.

I share this because in a split second he could have reached for me, pulled a knife, gun, etc. I know that guy was up to no good.

Heads up out there ppl. It's a crazy world.

Thanks for sharing Al. As with many situations like this, the simple awareness of the situation you had is probably what saved you. Never let the guard down. That is a great way to stay safe. Good work man.

What part of Cincy were you in Albert?

Regardless, I'm glad you made it out of that situation like you did!

Glad it worked out OK. Two weeks ago I'm pumping gas in Camden, OH and a guy in a trashed out car pulls up and asked me if I would but couple gallons of gas in his car. I say 'no' and he kept it up and I put my hand on my side and said I'm leaving now. He got my meaning and went to the next guy who said no to. Then he got in his car and went across the street to the next gas station.
It just brings it home how quick it can happen.

I have no idea what part of cincy it was. I was heading to an apt and it was 11am. Shit can get sketchy fast. I never have been to cincy since k started this job so I don't know the area at all.

Columbus and Cleveland I know much better. Still have my guard up all the time. Just a reminder to all be aware.

There are places in Dayton that are REALLY sketchy. One place there are always 30 or so "city folk" outside clearly up to no good.

Glad you are ok. I had a guy come running up towards my truck with a gun in his hand at Wal-Mart on the east side of Lima in 2010. I had my Kimber on me and my AR15 in the back seat. My son was in the truck and the guy approached on his side. I didn't want my son in the middle of a shoot out, so I dumped the clutch and bolted. It shook me up.
