>i>If you went in to rob a store and you noticed all the employees were armed...would you still attempt the robbery?

A different situation. If I wanted to kill the clerk from a hundred yards away, would I care if there were armed customers in side the store with their guns already drawn? They wouldn't see me shoot, know where I was shooting from, or pose any other threat to me. This is why the police and military have snipers; to use against obviously armed people. Remember the shooting with the policeman present?

For your information, the sound of the round being fire is good enough to pin-point the direction of where the shot was fired.

I live in northeast New Mexico. Not too many years ago we had a fella who ran a liquor store before he was elected sheriff and gave it up for political reasons.

We have a fairly strict law about guns in places where liquor is sold or served with the sole exception of LEAs.

So, what did the prospective sheriff do? He hired off duty cops to work the store. All the clerks carried open legally.

Was never held up.

Hummmmmmmm

What's your point? People have the right to protect themselves against any threat, real or percieved. It's not for the state to determine what a threat is.
