I was getting gas along I-35. Two men approached me. As they were getting closer I removed the gas nozzle and stepped back and placed it back into my trucks fill tube. I now had a little barrier between them and myself. They started asking ramdom questions, where to eat? Well the restaurant next door is good. Where to stay? The place across the street seemed nice. Did I live around here? Probably. Where was a good place to get a paper? Well since were at a service station, they have them inside. Did I like my truck? Most certainly. They began to fidget. So I took off my glasses and casually grabbed the corner of my T-shirt to clean them, exposing the butt of my XD .45 ACP. I guess they decided, where to: eat, sleep, get something to read, and they made a hasty retreat. That's the only time anyone has ever approached me and pressed my personal space when I've gotten gas.

Under different circumstances I don't think I would have shown my weapon, if they really wanted the truck, they could have it. They just couldn't have it with my sleeping 18 month old son in it.
