    Bolttom line. And learn this early. If anyone approaches you and even mentions the word money in any capacity, Roll up your windows and lock your doors. Especially in the three ####holes this gentleman is taking about

    Just give them your recruiters number and tell the guy that this guy will promise you some money.

    Sunday in Aurora, NE a normal looking woman plops down a dollar bill and a lot of change for gas at the Loves and says she forgot her wallet and she found this in the car and she needs to get back to North Platte, nobody gave her anything.

    Once in Salisbury,NC I had to go to the post office to get money orders for various reasons. I had about 3 grand on me. When I was walking up to the doors a beggar asked me for some spare change. He looked like he'd been thru hell and back so I slipped him a $20. Some of the other bums seen me and started yelling that it wasn't fair and I should have split the money between the them. I started laughing when they said that but then they got a little hostile. It cost me another $40 for them to leave and I said go eat and buy some smokes. Nope, they all went straight across the street to the liquor store. I don't give any freebies anymore unless I know for sure someone needs the help.

    I hate people in general so it's easy to be a dick to most strangers asking for something. Have a safe day drivers.

    It seems some of you know bums on sight.

    Let me ask you this... for your consideration. If a bum was in location A at the doors, why not bypass and go a little further out to location B with no bums?

    Location location location. High traffic areas produce a better yeild even if there's competitors. Then you have visual enhancements. :)

    Yea and your privilege to give all your wealth away doing it EH?

    I hate to be ... tough here.. I know we are in a free country. But when I see bums and parasites, It's infected. I want no part of it. I conceal carry, anything I can do to reduce risk (That gun will be worth a thousand in some pawn to a bum.. BONUS!!!!! never mind the Post office. I only go to one once a year anyhow...) is a good thing. The bums are free to mooch off someone else Not me.

    There are times it's unavoidable. I literally leave the wallet at home and carry just the CHL and license there is literally nothing on me for the bums im about to meet. If they want to take it up a notch and get violent... then I guess I wont be talking to you all for a while.

    I understand your opinion and you have a right to do what ever you want but I look at it also like just because it might storm today does not mean I am not going to go outside. I am not going to spend my life calculating my steps because others are crappy people. I am not a person who is violent but best believe that it would take me about 3 seconds to pull my knife out and open somebody up for heart surgery
