Title: Guns prevent crime? Who woulda thunk it?

I came across this on the Drudge Report. Two guns in the workplace? They weren't the ones being shot? This goes against all that I have been told about guns. Wadda think?

The manager was a fool, obviously is not aware of stress factors, adrenalin, and the fog of battle. Based on a single shot, he decides not to shoot the bad guy and the bad guy gets off three more shots. It was only luck and the grace of God that no one got hurt.

WOW Doug If you remember that YOU ARE OLD ! ( like me ;D ) would have been watching the "Badguy" I would have dropped him on his first shot, rather than risk the lives of shoppers in MY "packed" grocery store.

As for the one shot - maybe the gun jammed? Or maybe his brain just jammed.
