Sorry to hear that you have to deal with stuff like that. I understand your position. I guess that’s where we are apart. I don’t believe any of my cars or my wallet is worth someone’s life. And there is a good chance by pulling a gun, things can turn from bad to worse. I totally believe in protecting your home and family but taking lethal weapon to public places is where I disagree with. Anyways, enough chant from me. Back to the stealership thread.

We've even had several drive-thru robberies while vehicles are ordering food or getting cash from drive thru ATMs.
Most concealed carry holders are aware that it's better to have a firearm and not need it than to need a firearm and NOT have it.
The console firearm is actually my back-up gun, I carry a Sig P227 full size 45ACP. The wife, boys (age 15, 16 and 21) and I travel in the X, some fuel stations in unfamiliar areas require you to go inside to swipe the credit card.
We choose to be prepared if things go sideways, both inside and at the pump.
