Authorities have not decided to press charges? And the suspect was armed trying to take cash from the register?

And if someone robbed a gun shop of dozens of arms, the leftist would attack them as well for lack of security.

I’ve been in that gun store a few times. The employees are really great people.

Good job, guys.

...Neither the suspect who was nor the employee who opened fire has been identified...

Well that certainly hearkens back to the King James Version of English.

Authorities have decided not to press charges against the gub shop employee. The robber is dead so pressing charges doesn’t apply because he can’t stand trial.

Btw, I was referring to the shooter/employee facing leftist lawyers and the whole liability thing for the business.

“..I’ve been in that gun store a few times....”

Yep. So have I, but it’s been awhile.
When I was in there, I believe every employee in the place was open carrying. It would be suicide by gun shop to go in there to some kind of RAT/communist dastardly deed.

For example, if the video depicted the suspect raise his hands upon seeing the employees gun, that wouldn’t look so good.

It’s interesting they decided not to press charges, but no word of video...Every gun shop I’ve ever seen has lots of cameras nowadays.

That’s why you don’t issue a warning or anything if this is necessary. Just open fire; no warning is required by Texas law.

Poor DeShawntay. He was just about to turn his life around, attending community college and working nights at Pizza Hut to help fund his aspiration of becoming a famous rapper.
