Last night in fact I was just leaving work and reached into my car to put my S&W on my hip, employee handbook states no weapons, and i looked over to my left and saw car in our private lot was there with the parking lights on, heard some talking going on across the street with a vehicle traveling about 2 mph then saw a figure cross the street and the car pull off.
to my surprise it was a young lady and her young pit/boxer mix, meekest big dog ive seen had to have been very young still. Anyways As I stepped out from my car door and observed the woman coming closer to what I now assumed to be her vehical I heard her telling someone on a cell phone, freaks! and crazies!, and stating that she could not move the car the tire was flat.
I raised my voice and simply asked is everything okay, she immediately replied NO im not okay and briskly walked over to me.
once she was within 15 feet of me hand at the ready of course as I was now on high alert and head on a swivel i could see tears flowing down her face and what looked to be split lips in several different locations on each lip.
She had just gotten the every living shit beat out of her by her B/F and "Left" never to return is what she said to me with all her clothing and posessions in her car.
I went to change her tire for her to find she had no jack or tire iron. I did not have mine in my car that night either.
I let her use the lobby power outlet to charge her phone and call a "friend" that came to her rescue and drove her to her house, friends house. I waited with her the entire time and she kept thanking me over and over again she was so distraught she did not even notice my weapon on my side.
Interesting way to end the work night.
I plan on formally asking for an exemption to the company policy for my shift to be armed while at work so I wont have to leave my tool in the car. lets hope it works out.
