When we lived in TN we used a bank that only had a walk up ATM. What was worse about this particular bank was it was at the entrance of the bank. You went through two doors and turned immediately left and there was the ATM. Accessing the bank itself required going through another set of doors.
This particular bank was isolated and the only nearby buildings was a liquor store next door and a mom and pop small general store. When you walked out at night there were shrubs and plants blocking your view and they had flood lights on the ground which shinned directly into your eyes upon exiting nearly blinding you to anything coming at you. I hated using that atm at night and used it only in emergencies with my hand on my pistol under concealment many times. Most of the time either I or my wife would watch in the car while the other went to the atm.
Glad we moved and changed banks although the new bank we started banking at is the only where I had to draw my pistol.
It was a sunday afternoon after church. My 6 yr. old son was in the back of the truck in his car seat at the time. It was sunny and mid-day and I pulled up to the atm to get some money for lunch. There was a car in front of me and I gave him a good car length of space to finish his transaction. He finished and I pulled up to use the machine.
Upon pulling up I looked around the truck and saw no one but as I put my card in the machine a young man caught my eye in the drivers side mirror, he turned quickly off the street side walk and headed straight for the truck at a quickened pace, not taking his eyes off the truck. It was mid June and HOT and he had a jacket on with one of his hands in the jacket which made things more suspicious. He was closing the distance rapidly so I reached into the glove box and pulled out a Bulgarian Mak, raising it up high enough for him to see me bringing it over to my lap and I dropped the safety off and prepared to verbally challenge him. Upon seeing the gun he immediately stopped looked straight down and did not move, he was about 10 feet from my rear bumper.
At that point the machine spit my money and card out and I quickly left. He still wasn't moving when I pulled out. Don't know if he was thinking of robbery or just being totally stupid at the atm.
