Two robbery suspects were shot by an employee at a cell phone store in the Jeffrey Manor neighborhood on Chicago's South Side.
The T-Mobile store in the 2000-block of East 95th St. was left riddled with bullet holes. If not for the employee carrying a weapon with a concealed carry license, the manager of the store says he might be telling a different story.
"I think concealed carry is a great opportunity for managers, workers, employees to protect themselves in these cases. And our employee did a great job to protect themselves and the other employee," said Neil Tadros, store manager.

Me too.
“ can you hear me now? â€
Nice!
“I love a happy ending.”
It’s not all that happy. Those sound like serious, long-recovery injuries. Do you think that they had insurance? Obamacare, maybe? Guess who will be paying the bill.
“When a shot to the groin leaves someone in serious condition, you know that was a nice hit.”
Hope that the bullet neutered the perp. We don’t need him procreating.
The lawsuit against the company, by the perps, will claim the sign was bait...
(We now live in bizarro world...you know it's going to happen)
(Oh...And the perps will win)
Let me guess — he got fired.
Chicago allows concealed carry? Wait till Bathhouse hears about this.

Reach out and drop a thug.

I wouldn’t be anywhere in south Chicago without a firearm!!!!

My guess is the sign was meant to apply to customers. I don't know what T-mobile company policy is on armed employees.
Hopefully that means he won’t be making any donations to the gene pool.
It might be a franchise store, or something like a franchise. Unless the franchise agreement calls out a gun policy, it might be up to the individual store owner.
Of course T-Mobile could always terminate the franchise agreement, but that might not be such a great idea. Especially in this instance where the store owner can point to the incident as a real need for weapons in the store.
“Witnesses said they don’t believe the suspects ever fired their weapons.”
I never really get this. It’s like some folks believe that you have to be shot/stabbed/beaten with bat first before you can defend yourself.
Bwaaahhh! There goes my morning coffee!! X-D
