I may not have done everything perfect but the juices were flowing. This happened on the corner of Wigwam and Pecos right down the street from my house at about 2:45 AM.
This happened about 20 minutes ago. I left with my dog Clover to get a pack of smokes from the local terrible's I go to almost every day. I know all the clerks there and usually B.S. with them a little when it is really late. As I pull up and get out I notice an older 80's model caddy turn on to Eastern out of the parking lot then stop and reverse back to the driveway. I thought it was kind of weird but hey this is Vegas. I walk in and notice there is no clerk. I say "hello?" then I heard a muffled cry. I go to the counter and see the female clerk on the ground shaking. She say's I'm being robbed and he has a gun......
Now my brain goes into hyper mode. I ask her where he is. She knows me very well and knows that I OC every time I go there. She said that he just left. I look out the door to see that older caddy in reverse again coming towards the door. I took a defensive position behind the corner of the counter with my hand on my gun. She just dialed 911. The caddy pulls right up to the door like literally 2 feet from it and a guy comes out. The first thing that comes to my mind is maybe the armed thief is coming back. I un-holster about half way.
The man enters holding a cell phone saying he has called 911 and got a look at the guy. WHEWWWWW. I re-holstered my .38 Turns out he saw the guy and followed him up the street a little and was slowly making his way back while on the phone with the police. We waited till the cops showed up and the first thing I did I announce I was armed and that I was only a witness with my arms crossed in front of me. The cop went inside then came back out and asked if I would mind putting my gun in the car as 2 more HPD units were pulling up. I did, I really didn't want to get into gun rights at that moment. Finished making a statement then went back home.
I was like 30 seconds from having an encounter with an armed robber. $#@! wow.
