    sorry for your experience it is scary. Got kidnapped once when my girlfriend (now my wife) put all the guns in the trunk instead of one under the seat as instructed and once at knife point by 2 when I left my gun under the seat while I went to the truck stop to eat. The second incident is why I'm very much in favor of open or concealed carry any where any time. "Good guys will be good and bad guys will be bad regardless of the law"

    "anyone who thinks scrappin is easy money ain't doin it right!"

    Tough guys they were, kick a guy on the floor! Punks!

    The non-ferrous guy I go to is funny because he likes giving out 50 cent pieces and $2 bills. Most of my runs there are smaller so I usually get one of these currencies. Although he's never said anything, I'm sure there's at least 1 form of heat, if not multiple in the small office where the money comes out. They have a drive through operation so a person doesn't have to get out of their vehicle to get paid (I always do). They're mostly busy with people in line. I don't think a robbery would go over very well because the perp(s) would have to control the owner, 2-3 employees and usually 2-3 vehicles in line. It would be real easy for someone in line to pretend they were following the perp's orders and hit 911 on their cell out of sight. If they did manage to get the money, someone using a wad of $2 bills might stand out to a store clerk
