Re:Loss Prevention stops.....
Something I've been thinking about lately. I used to work as Loss Prevention for Long's drugs, and later, Burlington Coat Factory. I worked with some great people, but I did meet my share of idiots who wouldn't know a bad stop if it hit them upside the head. Since I've been CCWing, I've found myself wondering how I would respond to some yahoo laying hands on me. I've caught the wally world guy following me lately, and I know I haven't stolen anything. I mean, if I walk out, and the guy tells me to stop, I can simply reply, "no thank you", and keep going. But what if he's an idiot, and charges out at me or lays hands on me? It could get real ugly from there. In public, I figure someone lays hands on me, it's go time if my daughter and wife are with me. Reason being, if I go down, they could be harmed. It's causing me a bit of worry, since I don't want to shoot anybody I don't have to, but I'd hate to anticipate it being this guy, and fail to react appropriately in case of an attack.
Just some late night musing. any thoughts on this? Anybody else concerned?
Maybe it's just too many banana daquiris.... :banana:
