somebody going to be hurt...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Watch video listen to the comments of the clerk and owner. Being lucky only carries you so far, and IMHO he was lucky this time.

1. Especially considering it was the clerks first time
firing the gun.

2. I think it's bad the store owner gave the guy a gun without any training.
Sure he got positive results this time but it could have just as easily ended up badly.

3. And then the store owner seemed pissed
the clerk didn't kill the robber!

4. If I worked in a gas station convenience store I would carry ...
but my decision to use my weapon would depend on the situation. If I felt the robber only wanted the money and did not intend to hurt me I would simply give it to him.

I will not second guess the clerk's decision as I was not in his shoes. However, he needs to get some training.
