no, true enough. There are a lot of people who believe in gun rights but don’t learn enough to be safe before they carry. The proof is in the pudding as they say. Are you satisfied with this result? Wouldn’t the innocent party be better off just robbed and not dead?

The robbers caused her death. Period. Doesn’t matter where the bullet came from. When they are caught, they will be charged with murder.

Exactly.And if I understand Texas law correctly the robbers could get the hot squat...murder while committing a robbery.

...that's an assumption, probably 20 years ago. Today's armed robbers, steal and then murder. The authors comment about crooks being "happy to just get the cash" is interesting....and if there wasn't enough cash, would they be "happy"?

yldstrk: CHL holder should have learned how to shoot before carrying. What a cretin....Wouldn’t the innocent party be better off just robbed and not dead?

Ok. Fair enough. Let's extend yldstrk's point to the extreme. To what extent, if any, does the clerk have a responsibility to learn how not to become a victim?

Surely she is more likely to find herself with a gun pointed at her than a CHL carrier is likely to have to point one.

What training does Dollar General give her? Did she follow it? Does it account for innocent bystanders? Does it account for CHLs?

Hard to say, but how much could the victim have done to save her own life, CHL or not?

Why hadn't the perps already left? Why did they lock the door if they were in/out without intent to kill?
