Hmmm, since there are so many building codes anyway...how about an extra that requires a small fortified area where an armed guard could shoot at would be robbers? It should be constructed such that there should be no way for a thug to verify if a guard is there...except the hard way.
How about making it illegal for employers to deny a person’s constitutional rights?
There were a couple of good shoot-outs in convenience stores in one or two of Clint Eastwood’s ‘Dirty Harry’ movies ...
Like the Post Office with the extra door for the Postal Inspectors.
Never know if they are there or not.

****************************************
In Dallas in the ‘50s or ‘60s robberies of convenience stores became frequent. DPD established “shotgun” squads, wherein off duty cops would work for the stores as armed guards with shotguns.
The stores usually had a door that led into the back storage area and they replaced the clear glass window with two-way glass and fortified the door. The guard would sit in the storage area on a stool and watch the store.
After a half dozen well publicized deaths by shotgun of would-be robbers, the robberies became significantly less, as no one could know if the store had a guard or not.
