I am new to this site, I live just outside of North Myrtle beach. I have had a CWP here in SC for around 12 years or so.
I have owned guns most of my life,I just turned sixty in December. I carry everyday. I live on a farm just outside of the city.
And the armed robberies and home invasions seem to have hiked dramatically the last few years and especially the last year here.
We have had a rash of armed robberies from Georgetown to North Myrtle beach in the last week alone.
Last night there were two armed robberies locally. One at a Dollar general,shots fired no one injured, and about two hours later at a convenience gas station where a forty year old male employee was shot multiple times and was dead when the police arrived. In that case it was three black males according to a witness who was exiting a bathroom and saw one of them tell the employee to "give it up" then gun fire erupted. The details are still sketchy this earlier.
I am a frequent shopper in most of the dollar generals and most of the gas stations in my area.Thankfully, I have never had to draw my weapon ever.
I carry on my boat offshore as well. In the case of the latter robbery where three perps were involved I am not sure I would draw my weapon if I stumbled into that type of situation unless a weapon was pointed at me. And I might be shot on the spot. In the case of one perp coming in brandishing a weapon and maybe intent on killing anyone or everyone, in the establishment. I think it would be my duty to try to stop him. Anyone else have any thoughts on these scenarios? Thanks, jetty jay
