    Just a reminder to never let your guard down around new people.

    This has given me a lot to think about. I'm making my first sale/firewood delivery tomorrow.

    If only he would have been armed.

    ANY time I leave my house, I am in "Condition Yellow" and try to be as alert as possible.

    I carry every step of every day...

    I deliver to sketchy neighborhoods. Last week I had the address wrong and knocked on the wrong door in a high crime area. Got a strong dose of weed smoke, but that’s no different than the walmark parking lot. I understand the risk involved and I’m prepared.

    Worse case, they would have invited you in, offered you Doritos and a seat on the couch to watch whatever movie they had on.
