Dealing Nicely With An Armed Robbery



What can a retailer do when faced with an armed robbery? Either hand over the loot, or fight back. It's a risky strategy to fight back but in the above video, the home team scored an undoubted victory. For everyone who's ever been robbed with violence or the threat of violence, this must be the ultimate fantasy. ''If only we'd done that'' must be the feelings of millions of victims.

There are hundreds of comments on youtube. Here's just one. The law in the US is more favorable to those who want to defend themselves than it is in Europe.

It's kind of disturbing to read these comments because it's clear that very few people really understand ccw law. A ccw permit holder does not have to wait until he or she is fired on before using lethal force. The fact that an attacker is pointing a gun at you is all the justification you need to use lethal force. I hope permit holders out there are actually paying attention to what their instructors are teaching, and not just sleep walking through these courses.
