There have been three incidents in parking lots of malls or big box stores in this area recently. Last week an elderly gentleman had his truck stolen in the parking lot of a WalMart. A young man knocked him to the ground and then the perp and his gf drove away with the truck.
I carry everywhere it is legal. But I firmly believe the best defense is to avoid any potential problem if possible. Having said that, where is the "best" place to park in a large parking lot of a big box store or a shoping mall?
In respect of my car I almost always try to park away from other cars even if I need do some walking. But am I putting myself in additional danger by being distant from the store(s) and other parked cars?
I see some advantages in parking close to he store. But there are also some advantages of parking further away.
I'd really appreciate input by those who've had some training and/or LEOs who deal with these issues and may have experience about which is better.
Thanks much,
