So you're saying you live in the ghetto? If I were you I would have kept working, rather than retire, even though you're still working while retired, so I could afford to retire somewhere nicer. Everyone knows all the respectable people listen to juvenile angst punk rock and jump in mosh pits.
OT: Shopping in the convenience store…while parked at the gas pumps

It's not retirement if you're still working. Were you just "involuntarily retired" from your last job?
And getting into threat wars via music at gas pumps seems like a real awesome way to live, and something to brag about. At least you have to carry a gun around with you to feel safe ... so you have that going for you. Seems fun.
If I was back in my hometown in PA, I would do the same, heck most people back there don’t even lock their doors at night.
Lived in Richmond VA in the 90s left as soon as I could. It was not ideal. Common to see drug deals and guns in school. In middle school there was a "gang" with a "hit list "of students to beat up. I do not know how I avoided it. It would not have been good for me I didn't weight 100lbs in 9th grade. 6 or 7 perpetrators for 1 victim. I had a good home life. Many of my "classmates" were not so lucky. Murder rate of 60+ per year for every 100,000 population. One time in HS I gave a wrestling teammate a ride home. He lived in the projects. When he got out of the car he said "thanks, don't stop the car for any reason until you get to the main road run the stop signs and lights." He figured I'd be carjacked or worse.

Headless to say getting something stolen would not have been out of the ordinary.
Now I live much more rural. But most at the gas station near me are transient people or are only in the area to visit family in prison. Crime isn't bad here, but there is not any local police, 3 PSP for the county at any one time. So, calling for help could be a wait, sometimes it is not. But even a report for a disabled car accident can take 30+ minutes before someone is on the scene. My neighborhood has a few PSP living here, so they try to stay nearby.
Also, I don't carry an E-11 blaster that goes pew pew and I'm not paying for a suppressor for my handgun.
Your the first I've ever heard of doing this. Never occurred to me that someone could be so trusting of 100% of the population around them.
I grew up in a small town. Never lock my doors at home. Used to leave the car keys in the cup holder.

He was West End... That was the right part of town. State senators and representatives live there with their families when in session. In the 90s Richmond was a lot like DC now, 2 blocks in the wrong direction and you might be in trouble.
Ah, so you went from an urban hellhole to a rural hellhole.
I've lived in rural areas, urban areas and suburban areas, and never had any concerns about crime, or felt so unsure of my safety I felt it necessary to carry a gun.
I've never done it myself, but I've often seen folks pump gas and leave it filling up while they went in to pay, or buy other things. Never saw anyone attempt to take the nozzle.
It's too bad you've missed out on civilization. Now that you're feral, it'd probably be difficult to reintegrate yourself into civilized society.
This may be the dumbest thing ever posted on this board ... and you and Bob post here often, so that's saying something.
No, concealed carry would be the same "premise" as equipping your car with friggin' laser beams to stave off anyone who might want to ram you. Or equipping your rental property with a moat filled with friggin' sharks with friggin' laser beams to deter anyone from entering.
If concealed carry were to be the same "premise" as car or rental insurance, it would be ... drumroll, please ... property, health or life insurance. So scared laKabrain could pull out a copy of his health insurance coverage when a meanie approached him, instead of his penis substitute.
Good lord, man. Holy freak.
With all due respect, of course.
While pumping gas a local station and I got the old "could you spare some money so I could some gas in my car and get home"... I responded with "pull you car around and I will put some gas in for you"... the puzzled stare on his face was comical. He passed on my offer but did ask one last time for some money.
Say I’m driving my boxster S in Philly (I will be often) and some kids from north side roll up, draw nines, and attempt to take my $100k car.
Should I in your opinion:
Get out of the 718 and give them my car?
Call the police after I give them my 718?
or defend myself and my $100k 718?
I’m C, defend myself etc
Which are you?

You drive away, dumschit.
If we ever met you would have no idea.
I don't think I live in a rural hellhole. In fact I feel safer at home than I do when I visit dear ol state.
It must be nice to not have to worry about crime or even think about it. I guess that is what entitlement and/or privilege is.
I'm using the gun on myself for buying a Porsche. Why would you buy that car, since you have purchased 3,476 other cars in the last couple months, if your posts are to be believed? Sort of like all your trips and residences back in the day, when you couldn't keep your fantastical stories straight. You're a Miata girl. And that's OK. We accept you. Vroom vroom. Pew pew.
If you’re are car guy, let’s chat. If you ARE a car guy, you could talk on the reviewers biggest gripe about the 2024 718 S. Do you know it?

You live somewhere that you feel so unsafe, that you need to carry a gun around. You live somewhere that, according to you, has no police force. You live somewhere that kids are looking to steal cars and folks are stealing gas, with no police force there to enforce laws. 3 non-local cops ... to cover an entire county?
Crime happens everywhere. Even in civilization. You just take reasonable precautions to avoid it, and you don't obsess about it. I'm not going to carry a deadly projectile-shooting weapon with me to visit the store, or see my kid's games, or do WHATEVER I do in normal, everyday life to guard against crime, though. I'm not going to be thinking about every criminal activity that could possibly happen in a situation, and fretting over it. That's crazy. If I lived in a lawless hellhole ... maybe I would reconsider.

Good for you.
Lay off the drugs. If you're not on drugs, see a doc and get on some.
That was established the other 50 or so times you've asked me if I was a car guy, as if that somehow excuses your behavior.
Just got done closing on the house and setting up all the utilities.
2 days.What’s the over under on how long you’ll wait for internet (2 days)
Thanks. Not sure what the first one will be. Pods don't get here until Thursday and then lots of unpacking and unboxing. There is a trail not far from the house called the Dripping Springs trail thats supposed to be pretty nice. But the next few days they are calling for extreme heat. 107º-109º but it's a dry heat.
