The fact that some disagree with this gas station owner's new safety measures doesn't surprise me, but I am surprised in the number of people who understand and agree with it.

Good for him!

Also, are we calling PCC's AR15's? I'm not sure I agree with that definition, though surely that one guy commenting didn't know the difference. Neat to see a suppressed Tavor in there.

Damn straight. More power to him.

The people who were saying that they feel like it's not appropriate, offer a real alternative solution or STFU. Your feelings not welcome here.

They are on the battlefield, No. Philly.

$30.00 per hour times two guards times an 8 hour day is going to raise the price of that $1.99 Snickers bar too $3.29
Did the mag on that rifle look like a 9mm ?

I bet it brings in more customers knowing they are possibly safer there than any other gas station in the area.

You can't eat the $1.99 Snickers if you're dead.

P220 Smudge already addressed that here, in his post. Could be various PCC calibers, but most likely 9 mm.

Would this make you feel safe?

No, not unless it would make you actually safe.
Libs need to stop w/ the "feel safe" thing. Feeling safe gets you less than nothing.
Being safe vs. feeling safe should be the topic.

Nobody deserves to have their home, property, place of business or similar destroyed, robbed or have employee's or patrons injured or murdered.
He is doing what he needs to do to prevent to above from happening. Hard to find fault in that based on the history there.
