Note that the clerk shot the suspect as he was running away from the scene of the crime. If I were in the clerk’s position, and that same thing went down, I’d be in jail on charges of attempted murder or, most likely, murder.

I’ll give you 2 reasons why:

1) My son isn’t a cop.
2) I live in New Jersey, not Georgia.

I’m glad that this guy wasn’t in your situation. The guy needed shooting and the perp, not the victim, should be in jail on charges of attempted murder.

The only thing wrong with this story is that the perp was still breathing. Anyone who is willing to stab an old man in the heart doesn’t deserve any more chance to live than he was willing to deal out.

My son is a cop.

But I live in Illinois

How true. We "subjects" in the Garden State are not allowed to arm ourselves because the NJ Supreme Court thinks that the "proliferation of firearms" is dangerous to society. Hmmmm. Even if your son were a cop in NJ, you'd still get charged with discharging a firearm, and I hope you have a permit to keep it at your business, or they'd add that one on too. I'm not sure if the castle doctrine applies to liquor stores, so they'd probably find some bogus charge there as well. You'd probably also get charged with attempted murder, and you'd be sued by the scumbag's family for denying them a right to income. Great state we live in, yes?????

I’m not familiar with NJ laws— clerks are required by law to be unarmed?
