Ever wonder why you don’t hear about those flash mob thingies here in Texas? Here in Texas the store clerk can blow you into the hole if they feel threatened while your robbing them. You hear about it real regular where some perp trys to rob a place and winds up in the hole or right close to being in it.
There are other reasons for that, too - related, but not just that the clerk can blow them away. Much of it has to do with the fact that Texas juries are notoriously unsympathetic to criminals and Texas law bars people’s estates for suing for anything that happens in the course of their committal of a crime.

Actually, there were a couple of those incidents I am aware of in the past year - one in a convenience store in Oak Cliff, and one at a “stop-n-rob” in South Dallas.
