And, hey, good media coverage. No "Young Man Shot Down in the Prime of Life" headline. The story substantiated the history of the threat before it ever got to the shooting.

This is very good, positive media coverage. We sure need more like this.

I'm glad to hear something with a positive spin.

This happened not 10 minutes from me, and about 2 minutes from my parent's place. We are in there all the time. I was good friends with the girl that was interviewed. This place has been sucessfuly robbed about three times prior to this. I highly doubt it will happen again. The only reason that the cameras were there was because the whole place was renovated and they were installed shortly after the second robbery.

+1000 for Mr. Bennet!!!

Turned out right, and good media but I hope he learns keep his thumb on the weak side with the other one.

I can't help but see that.

Yes glad it all turned out well for the good guys! He might want to consider keeping a round in the chamber though. Might have turned out differently if the attacker went after him instead of his employee. just my 2 cents, hind sight is also 20/20.

Hehe, the funny thing is, this store was built with a seige mentality. You can't really tell from either angle, but he was actually in an elevated office with a wall that is just tall enough to see over if you stand up at the desk. So the would-be robbers have no idea whether or not someone is back there. But I completely agree with the "one in the pipe" argument.

Looks like he'll not being needing that job, Huh

Thinking about it, he may have been caseing your business. Food for thought.

It wouldn't have been the first time that someone filled out a job application, then robbed the place.

At the dealership? I think you should make a point to never sell him a car... ever. That way he can only rely on a bicycle as a getaway vehicle, if he ever tries this again.

[WheySmart]

Good, Hopefully he learned his lesson. That is neat how they designed that place, they should make them all like that...that firing position that you don't know is occupied or not would be enough to scare a lot of criminals off.

Thats good, shoot 'em all. Get the trash off the streets.

We need to talk.

[kauboy]

He's a youngster. 14 if I recall. Hopefully he will start following his head, and not so much his testosterone.

You really should peruse the law. We all need to know exactly what is permitted in any given situation. "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" is a stupid redneck cliche and is an extremely dangerous motto to live by.
