In broad daylight, no less.  This has to be in a blue city.

Dang Amish are at it again.

But good point around awareness. 

When gasing up, here are another few tips.....

1. Make sure you park at a pump which has easy access out, without getting blocked in.
2. Use 50 foot rule.....  At a pump if anyone gets within 50 feet who doesn't look like they got business there, make it to your can, and grasp your weapon. That 50 feet will give you the 3 seconds you need to respond.
3. Profile in your mind anyone there, who may be a threat.  I don't care how racist that sounds.
4. Even thought this event looked like it was in broad daylight, the risk is still better if you gas up during mornings, and in low crime locations, if possible.
