I was driving back to Saginaw, MI to meet my wife when a situation came up and thought I would throw out to see if it was handled right.
I drove down to Flint to pick up paycheck with my two sons. I work part time for a company in Flint as an armed security guard. Since the office is not in the nicest part of town, I put my Taurus 85 in my coat.
Got back up to Saginaw, cashed my check and since my wife was not out of work yet thought I would get some gas.
Pulled into the gas pump and just put my CC when a gut comes up begging for money, you know, need money so I can get a room, don't want to go the shelter, blah, blah, blah.
I put one arm in my coat, while the other was on the pump.
Thought I don;t want a problem, while armed, with my sons in the car, so I gave him a buck, and told him it was all I had. Since it was all I had, and I normally don;t carry cash, But happened to have the dollar left over from a USPS money order I sent off earlier for a Browning HI-Power.
He thanked me and took off. Another lady came up and told me he was just begging for crack. I told he I know, I just gave him a buck to go away.
What do you guys think? I really wanted to avoid trouble while being armed and my sons a foot away.
