Exactly. I mean, what was the plan here, how did they see this turning out?
Of the two local firearms shops I tend to gravitate to I can't conceive of anyone stupid enough to try anything at them. In one, literally every employee is carrying. I haven't asked, but I think it may be a condition of employment. It is a big shop, probably 10 people working/armed in there any time I've been in there. The other place, well, the guy is a class 3 dealer. There are loaded machine guns on the premises (up to and including several M2s) and the owner loves to practice with them. Given his remote/rural location and clear fields of fire it is a sure bet that if you start something there, you'd never make it off his property in anything less than a Bradley.

Sure you can. You have a better imagination than that! Stupidity is only limited by mortality!
