I went to the WaWa on Victory Blvd last night to get some gas. I payed in cash and didn't put my vest on before I entered the store. (I just had shoulder surgery and it hurt too bad to reach in the back of the Jeep to get my vest.)
Anyway, I went in the store to pre-pay and strangely the Pakistani clerk saw my weapon and just said, "Welcome to WaWa! How can I help you?" I already had $40.00 in my hands and I aske for $40.00 on Pump 11. that is when I noticed an American employee hiding behind the potato chips and nervously peeking at me.
I thought to myself, "That guy is acting pretty strange. How many robbers enter a store with a $1300.00 pistol in a SERPA security holster on their hip and with $40.00 in their hands?"
I paid and started out to the pump. That's when I saw the cop in uniform.
I was almost to my Jeep when I heard, "Excuse me Sir!, Excuse me Sir!" I thought to myself, "Oh Heck! Here it comes! What would Danbus do? " I turned and the officer approached me.
He said, "What kind of pistol is that? Is that a Springfield?" I said that it was.
He then said,"That is a beautiful gun! I was thinking about buying one. How do you like it?" I told him that I loved it and we had a great conversation about how he prefered the 1911 over all other pistols and how he really wanted to buy the Springfield Micro Compact like mine.
I told him that I swear by the Springfield and that it was one of the best investments I've ever made. I also told him about what happened to Danbus and all he said was, "That's BS sir. I can't believed the officer acted like that especially after the Town Hall Meeting. That's a shame."
We shook hands and parted ways. I think it was a great first encounter!
