Worker with a gun turns the tables on bandits at Walgreens

[virginia mountainman]

They wore gloves.

They brandished handguns.

But there was one thing two robbers didn't anticipate when they barged into a Benton Township Walgreens drugstore early Sunday and tried to march workers into the back room: A worker already in back carried a handgun and knew how to use it.

1. some stores fire workers who do this kind of thing

it's a liability issue i think

2. That should be a crime in it's self.

It is unthinkable that people are, being fired for saving their's, along with others, lives..

My boss has a different view.. A photo from a recent trip and stay in Raleigh North Carolina.



And YES, My Virginia CHP, is accepted by North Carolina... So I was in compliance with law.

6. Half right, people are

the solution to people more or less, that's why we arm LEO's. So how is the prohibition movement coming?

Now the Temperance league used to have really keen chants and songs, have you thought about making a few up?

9. I have always wanted to do a poll

that would gauge anti-gun support from 4 demographic areas.

1) Rural
2) Inner City
3) Metropolitan
4) Suburbanite

But have never been able to figure out the wording, and in the words of a close friend, i have the diplomatic instincts of a sledge hammer. I have and currently am in a rural environment, but have spent a few years in the inner city.
