It also takes more than a cigarette to ignite gasoline. i have seen cigarettes dipped in gas before and do nothing but put them out. but if the cigarette were to spark some how thats a different story.

If he had chose poorly and come towards me, I could have pulled the pistol forward but left it down to show him the pistol without having to get a sight picture and possibly alarming anyone else.

Bad idea!! IMO. Would if the clerk saw you from inside and called the police saying there is a man in the parking lot with a gun. The cop didnt see the whole thing a might get you with failure to conceal. Bad news man. There are a thousand other things that could of been going on. I think he acted very well. Stayed alert and left! The others said it right, you are headed down the wrong road in regards to carrying a firearm.

Maybe he was waiting for you to go inside and pay but cause your diesel fuel tank is so large it was prob. taking to long. he got tired of waiting.

I would of locked every thing up and went inside to report suspicious behavior to the counter clerk. Maybe of even called the police. in any case, Way to be alert man!!
