"No better argument for CCW."
Maybe it's just my tagline talking but, I was thinking maybe a company-supplied sniper on top of the building. Is NC a CCW state?
It wouldn't surprise me to see folks start to have armed backups who watch from a distance prepared to pop any would be robbers.
Brilliant, and much safer for the security detail...
Yes. The victim was from South Carolina but there is also CCW reciprocity between the states.
The problem seems to be the victim was a true "victim", and not carrying. He was apparently depending on the "big sky theory"*. He lost.
*..."big sky theory" (Idiot Airplane Pilot Theorem #2) - It's a "big sky" out here, so there's no need to look out for other airplanes as they are so unlikely to hit you.
