Gas station clerk suspended after shooting robber

I have long been in favor of the "Mandatory Armed Store Clerk act" for convenience stores, gas stations and liquor stores.

A requirement for employment in such businesses should be that you have a concealed carry license, and that you be armed if you are at work.

Make sure robbers understand they have a very good chance of getting shot to death, and they will stop thinking about robbing stores.

[refreshed]

You are going to start seeing this more frequently, as our court system has turned into a merry-go-round for violent criminals. Regular people are getting tired of playing the victim and getting shot or worse. To the clerk, good job. Get a job somewhere else if you can!

Police later said that the robber was carrying an Airsoft gun. Maybe clerk could have let him rifle the cash drawer with the Monopoly money or the stacks of Venezuelan bills whatever they’re called that have to worth less than their weight in Kleenex.

She needs to find another job someplace else. Being suspended is not being fired, but a bond of trust and an expectation of support has been broken. Such a manager is going to be looking for a next reason to get rid of her anyway.

Illegal I bet.

Good for her. Always protect yourself. F Circle K for not standing by their employee.

How many defenseless workers were herded into some part of the business and executed by robbers?

[E.Allen]

We call our local Circle K the Stop N’ Rob

[SkyDancer]

Should have a sign on the door that instead of “No Guns Allowed” should have a sign: “Employees may or may not have guns. You decide if you want to rob us”

[Gideon7]

Commercial liability insurance policies often prohibit the use of firearms by employees under any circumstances.

“I’m sick and tired of being a sitting duck,” Wertz said. “He pointed the gun at my face, I grabbed my gun from my pocket, I cocked it and I shot.”

...

I’m glad it worked out for her, but I think it’s best to have a gun that doesn’t need to be cocked in that situation.

Jennifer here are some ugly facts.

Your company couldn’t care less about your life or your safety. They’re only concerned with profits and don’t want these petty life threatening robberies to cause them unwanted liability issues.

I'm sure her employer felt that her death (covered by workers' compensation) would be far cheaper than if she accidentally shot a customer! In today's courts..., he is exactly right! I had a Niece who was robbed twice working at a convenience store and luckily decided upon a change of employment! It is a very dangerous line of work!

[Disambiguator]

I dug up the location of the store - Eubank and Candelaria.

“I’m sick and tired of being a sitting duck,”

Perfect response.
Democrats and Circle K execs cannot understand.
