Spring Texas Pharmacist opens up on 2 Hoodie Bandana men

Went to the back as soon as he saw them come in, they started shooting at him and our brave Texas Pharmacist got his gun and returned fire.

They fled.

Wish I knew if he got them. I'm hoping they drag into an emergency room all infected in a few days. He was unharmed.

The owner of the store saw two men enter and he went to the back of the store. Investigators say that's when the two men began shooting their guns at him. The pharmacy owner got his gun and returned fire at the two men, according to police. Authorities say the alleged robbers then ran from the store on foot.
:nono: Needs to be holstered on your hip, not run to the back of the store and get your gun.

And more range practice, so next time they are not able to flee but instead carried out in black bags. :rock"

Wow, you arm chair quarterbacks are tough on the good guy.

Some, in the same situation might not have done as well as he did.

He didn't pass out, pee in his pants or give in to fear.

He responded well...so give him some attaboys!

Thank goodness it wasn't a chain pharmacy like Walgreens or CVS, who have almost certainly fired the pharmacist for doing the right thing.

Seems missing in most cases is a lot less expensive than hitting.

Is it about killing or stopping the threat? I think he did well considering gthe circumstances. I think most underestimate how difficult it is to function under such circumstances.

I would be willing to bet that most of the people suggesting he practice more to improve his aim have never been in such a life or death situation.
