Note the CVS officials' logic here: the co-workers life was not in danger until the pharmacist (not the robber) had possession of the weapon.

Good post. This is a shocking story that has lots of people here (in Indiana) talking. It seems that CVS is very wrong.

Well this says alot about "big" chain stores. I used to get stuff/medicines at the CVS. But since this..To heck with'em I'll go somewhere else.

I will no longer do any business with CVS. They were wrong to fire the pharmacist for doing what anyone would do when their life was threatened.

Yup. If the pharmacist and his co-worker had been murdered, CVS' officials would have had no problem living with the outcome. Its just self-defense with a gun on the part of an employee they find intolerable. <sarcasm.

It's good he didn't do it in New York.
He'd have been arrested for the following charges:
Discharging a firearm within 500' of a building.
Possession of an illegal handgun.
Possession of an unregistered handgun.
Possession of stolen property.
Assault with a deadly weapon.
Intimidation.
Sure, he could us a gun in self-defense, just not *that* gun, and not after he'd disarmed the criminal/attempted murderer or rapist (or both).
