Convenience Store Robbery - Lessons to be learned

[robheath]

I'm just glad to see them fight back. His gun play was sloppy but I hate it when they interview the authorities and they say "Just don't fight back give them what they want you could get hurt"  I say thats the reason crime is as bad as it is.   Any one who owns a gun has a responsability to get training and keep up the training.  But just being a scared sheep among wolves just invites the wolves to a free lunch.

It probably will surprise many of you who think I belong to the "Kill'em all, God can sort them out" school  of thought but I don't really agree with what FQ posted.  Any responsible shooter has to take responsibility for where his rounds end up.
If I get shot, I want it to be because some one was mad at me, not because some loser tried to rob a store 2 blocks away.

With you, there is probably a decent chance of you getting your wish. Actually in a smalltown like yours the odds of stray fire are low. In an urban environment? I am amazed that more folks aren't killed by stray rounds. Everytime I red "cops fire 24 rounds at gunman" and then read that the guy was hit twice I wonder where the other 22 went. This is doubly true if the shooter is on a roof, or in an apartment building, or behind a glass window. I ouldn't reccomed doing what the shooter did, but if that widow backed up to a field verus say a busy street, I'm not goining to be too hard him.

The ultimate lesson from the video?   It is much better to be armed than not.
