I had an uncle who worked at a gas station in the 70s and someone tried to rob him while he was pumping gas. Didn’t turn out well for them because he ALWAYS had a cigarette in his mouth. He doused them with gas and then flicked the cigarette on him. After the local news reported it he never had anyone try it again!

With any luck, no one got hurt. But on the ride home of the soaked bandit, he decides to light a cigarette to help calm down.

you better tell them the pumps will not spray gas out of it unless you got two hands free and you pull the collar back on it ..it will not pump any gas till you pull the collar back and hold it back then you can use it..that may be usefull to tell someone if they were in a bad place

Absolutely, I watched a video where someone actually did it. I wouldn’t think twice about doing that, I’m 73 and got nothing to lose to protect myself

Having your ",friend" with you increases your risk of serious injury and death. The notion that a good guy with a gun will stop a bad guy with a gun is a romanticized vision of the nature of violent crime. There is no question we can find a few examples where having a gun saved a life and for those individuals perhaps "gun toting" made all the difference. While I understand and perhaps you will take offense most of you folks dismiss any actual research as "fake," "liberal," "paid for by Soros" consistent, robust, Level I peer-reviewed research show having a gun increases your risk of injury and death. One study published in the American Journal of Public Health found that the odds of an assault victim being shot increased 4.5 times if they carried a gun, and the odds of them being killed increased 4.2 times.A study published in the Journal of Preventive Medicine found that using guns for self-defense during a robbery doesn’t lower one’s odds of being injured.

You got this from the video that's been on youtube and tiktok of the van of guys that roll up on the old man pumping gas, and then he sprays them.😳

sounds like a good idea but all gas pumps don't work that way if they are not pushed down into the tank they will not work.

and make sure you lock the doors on your vehicle at the same time you're putting gas simple tips

Many new pumps require the vent recovery sleeve to be pushed in to work as well. Found this out trying to fill gas cans.
