Texas smoke shop clerk pulls gun and begins firing at robber without ever putting down his cigarette
Daily Mail Online ^ | October 15, 2016 | Kalhan Rosenblatt

An armed man picked the wrong store clerk to rob when he entered a Texas smoke shop last month.

In surveillance footage taken of the incident, a man enters Austin, Texas, store and immediately draws a gun.

Without missing a beat, the store clerk, who is smoking a cigarette, draws his own gun - a CZ-75 SP-01 9mm pistol - and begins firing at the robber.

The store clerk seems completely unfazed and doesn't even put down his cigarette as he fires at the assailant.

At one point while he's shooting, he even appears to try and take a drag off the cigarette.

He seriously needs some range time. That nice white floor should have been coated in red. Was he shooting blanks??

It might be liberal Austin, but Austin is still in Texas.

This is the second such story to come out of Texas in the last few weeks. If this keeps up, watch the crime rate go down as well. Yes, there is a connection between an armed public and lower crime rates.

I’m wondering if the perp is ex-military? dropping and rolling? or do the thugs do that too?

The version I heard as a kid was done by Phil Harris. Also, “The Woodsman” and “The Preacher and the Bear” and others.

How did that lump of snot get away? Why wasn't he lying in pieces on the floor? This guy, brave though he was under threat of death, was a lousy shot.

Still, a very cool dude under pressure. He can work on his aim because he's still alive. Well done.

I think he fell as he crashed through the door

Spiccoli had great nerve

Perp is lucky the guy hadn’t practiced a whole lot

That's a heavy, full-sized and somewhat specialized 9mm pistol, and not one I'd expect to find being used for self defense in a smoke shop. Then again, this is Austin we are talking about. Keeping it unusual, if not exactly weird.

Walk, chew gum

Pat head, rub belly

Type on laptop, talk on phone

Smoke, bust a cap in an @sshole

“Multitasking”

Justa guess but I think it wasn’t the clerk’s first rodeo.

The cigarette cigarette smoke in his eyes may have affected his aim.
