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?

don't know about dollar general, but having worked in restaurants for almost 20 years, i have been taught by several managers the same two things.
first, try to comply. give them the money, it's not worth your life.
second: if they try to move you to an office, storeroom, walk-in cooler, or any small, lockable room, go ape s*** on them, because they're about to kill you.

We really don't have a enough information on what the CCW holder did or did not do or what the bad guy did or did not do or what the clerk did or did not do.

The media only gave us so much info what are they holding back to make CCW holders look bad.

Did the bad guy push or grab her into the line of fire did she trip and fall did she jump.

So many unandswed questions.
