I know the powers that be aren't going to like that response but I've got my life to live and they've got theirs.
I've mentioned several times on THR that my mom and dad owned and ran a small country store/gas station when I was growing up. I remember them actually discussing what they would do if someone with a gun came into their store to rob them. Their agreement was: "Give the robber the whole danged store if that's what they want!" What I don't remember is Mom and Dad talking about how old the hypothetical robber with a gun might be.If I'm the clerk, I never would have asked if he was serious. I'm not risking my life for the store's insured money
If you think that you can shoot a child with no emotional consequences, you are wrong.
One of Louis L'Amour'd characters (Boudrie I think) once opined, "If a man's old enough to use a gun, he's old enough to die by one."
I would never consider intervening.
I never even hinted that I thought I wouldn't suffer any emotional consequences.
He pointed a gun at the employee and fired a round; he is lucky he did not get shot at that point.
I do not know anyone who would likely have shot a robber in such a circumstance.
???He stopped being a robber when he fired a shot. He became a shooter.
