Listen to your illogical logic! I wouldn't reach for anything with a gas nozzle in my hand for God's sake! And even if you didn't have the gas nozzle in your hand, you act like you are going to fill up his gas can then you squirt him in the eyes! Then say: "he told me he had a knife or gun". Good grief ladies!!!!!
Here's the 2 scenarios:
1) You scream and he shoots you if he has a gun or stabs you. You lose!
2) You hit him in the eyes with a stream of gas and run. He can't see you for at least 10 minutes and your safe. You call 911 and he is apprehended. Women; I swear! Go ahead, scream. It worked in 1930...
You will STILL be shot if you reach for anything, especially the shut off button! NO SUDDEN MOVES, OK? You have the gas nozzle IN HAND and yet you'd reach for the shut off button??? No wonder it happens to you ladies so much! GEEZZZ!
The gas nozzle will shoot a stream of about 6-10 feet. It's still your best bet!
