I walk in just before a man and woman pair of substance abusers/grifters/panhandlers set up shop just a few feet away from the front doors. By the time I'm in line with my soft drink, the manager has seen them. With an annoyed look on her face, she tapped loudly on the window glass where they were standing. Soon as the couple outside turned to look, manager gave them the baseball umpire "You're out!" signal with her thumb, didn't say a word. They quickly got to their car, which was neither broken down nor out of gas, and vamoosed. I'm sure the manager and those two have history together, wish the place had been slow enough for me to ask about it.
So I get to my vehicle just as a tow truck shows up. The operator very quickly hooked up a car with Texas plates that was parked in a corner of the lot, not far from me. I took a minute to ask him about that, he looked in kind of a hurry. Apparently it had been left there by some local ne'er-do-well, its ownership status was questionable at best, and that same store manager was tired of looking at it after a couple of days.
This manager may climb the ladder to the top of the company, or get fired for being bold enough to keep the troublesome elements off the property, I don't know. But these days, it seems there are less and less businesses that will take the necessary steps to address such problems.

An M2 is much more effective.

Where can I submit my application?
You're supplying gun and ammo, right?

Was that the one on 4th St or 5th St.?

Unloaded gun before securing it in the car before returning to the house. Bad enough to be behind the wheel without my driver's license for the ride, wasn't about to tempt the fickle finger of fate any more than that..
