this is the only ATM I ever go to.. I will be even more on the lookout from now on. I always scan around the area before going up to it.. and, I do my best to only go there during the daylight hours....

Just for my clarification and a little bit of monday morning quarterbacking. This is a drive-up ATM correct? If so, why would a guy watch a vehicle block his path, get out with a gun and approach the...

yes, this is a drive up ATM.. it is out next to the street, away from all buildings. The shopping area located at 120th & blondo, in the southwest quadrant of the intersection.. if you go...

I would be curious in hearing how CCW permit holders on this board would of handled this situation assuming you had your weapon on you.

I would like to think I would have noticed the vehicle and the approaching man long before this guy did, put it in "R" and firewalled the go pedal. Situational awareness is paramount.

R is for retreat.. true.. but if one doesn't have situational awareness and able to clue in on danger right in front of them.. they won't think of leaving the place..I'm curious how this guy pulled...

+1 NETim, my ccw would never have left its holster but my truck would've left that ATM in a flash. 3,500lbs of Dodge = 106,521.73 rounds of 230gr .45ACP. As I told one commenter on my blog in regards...

Hmmm.. Interesting.If all you have to do is avoid getting in those situations in the first place or just run away, then why do any of us need a CCW? All we really need is "environmental awareness"...

I believe there is an implied message you are not grasping. You can't prevent every situation and that may be the time for a weapon. If you know there is a weak spot in the floor don't step on it...
View ArticleRe: Stay safe at the ATM
I understand what you are saying about the weak spot on the floor analogy, that is also my point, that you can't always see them coming. If that was implied point, I missed it.So let me restate the...

"Situational awareness" is THE most important tool in anyone's SD toolbox. Avoiding conflict, particularly while carrying, is an absolute priority. De-escalate, evade, avoid, run away like a little...

If this happened to me after I've taken the proper precautions. I'd hit the gas, and try to make the messiest sandwich out of the guy. I don't think I'd put the vehicle in reverse and punch it. You...

one thing to remember, just because you have a gun on you.. doesn't mean it's always the best option. Once a gun is in your face... you're kind of limited to what you can do. Everyone can say right...
