Hey All,
Thanks for all the responses, and i apologize for my post eliciting some not so respectful discussion from some people, but for those that showed respect thank you. Ive decided to revisit the situation, except this time with a drawn up layout and many more details, to see if we can see what we would actually do. Here are the details:
*Civilians Present:2
*Clerks Present: 1
*Perps Present: 1, Armed with handgun.
*There are no accomplices to the perp waiting outside, after a quick scan, perp is acting alone.
*Display Racks are all chest height.
*There are three doors, one main door, which the perp is standing near, a door to the left of the counter that leads to a back managers office, and the door leading to the back beer cooler, for restocking purposes.
*From quick assessment, perp seems to be agitated, threating the clerk, and severly on edge.
*Other civilians in the store hit the floor at the first glimpse of the gun, perp keeps glancing around, eventually he will notice you there.
What would you do in this situation? Would you feel that the clerks, and everyone elses life in the store was in danger, including your own? Would you shoot? Would you Hide and hope he doesnt see you or do anything rash? Thoughts?
Thanks,
Skittlesman
P.S. Thank you JeffWhite for the encouragement.
