Overall good information. I disagree with her about leaving the door open. She herself says later that she cant leave the vehicle because her kids are in it. If the doors were shut and locked this would give more options.

Fixed it for ya!When someone walks up and trys to get close by asking for a lighter, it's heck of a lot easier to spray them with 87 octane, and ask if they still need that lighter
I completely agree. The entire video is predicated on the decision not to get back in the car.
Get the pump going, get back in the vehicle and lock the door. Not only does that give you the option of turning on the car and driving away, but it provides a barrier that prevents the initial contact from anyone up to no good.
When someone walks up and trys to get close by asking for change, a lighter, etc., it's heck of a lot easier to sit in the car and shake your head "no" rather having to interact.
If only someone taught some type of class, focused primarily around how to deal with these unknown contacts.
Driving to work this morning, I caught an Atlanta area airwave news station reporting the carjacking of a woman in the Atlanta Hartsfield Metro Airport parking economy lot, three teens one just 13 approached her it is alleged with a sop story and when she rolled her window down to talk to them, they pulled her out of her car, beat her (A$$) pretty good and tyhen she-daisied off with her car.
(don't ask me what She-daisied off with her car means, It means three misbeguided social and economicaly challenged girls, needed transportation, and without any means of their own or parents to transport them, took matters into their own hands).
Poor things.
It is damned sad when we can no longer take a moment to assist.
Leave the car running while you are pumping gas?i leave the door open, car running and looking around, always use the outer pump, I use my car's paint reflection to scan any movement behind me. Why I leave the door open? so it's less obvious where my draw hand (tinted windows) will be but I can see theirs.

Been doing it for more than 20 years.
Aw yes, an airport. Where (as Guy pointed out last night) there are people with guns, and they wear distinctive uniforms. In the "economy lot" (code for, you can't see the terminal from here) you have the people who can't be armed because they are about to enter the area with only distinctively uniformed folk who are armed.
A number of years back there were big problems with Florida rental cars getting targeted (bumper tag then rob them when they get out, from airport=not armed) leaving the airport (Miami I think) since rentals had "Sunshine State" tags vice the plates with the county. Seems like the "she-daisiers" in Fulton County are working the inbound side of the same opportunity.
