Police: Florida Convienience Store Clerk's Gun Beats Thief's Cattle Prod

He didn't even have to shoot, and it thwarted a robbery.

My step dad use to manage a gas station and often had to go out there to cover 3rd shift when someone called in sick or something. One night all alone a guy walked in holding a rolled up news paper, looked around a bit, walked up to the counter and said, "You know, somebody could just walk in here and rob you." To which my step-dad replied, "That's why I have this", as he brought his 1911 up from underneath the counter and set it down. The guy took off running and never came back.

My step-dad never even pointed it at the would be robber or threatened the man. Just revealing that he was armed was enough.

I believe it. The libs want us to think that every time a gun is pulled out, someone dies. It's a ridiculous argument. If I worked at a gas station, especially at night, I would certainly be armed. I'll bet that guy never thought about robbing another gas station.

i hold the world record , for the amount of times i shot myself in the foot ,acidently of course. i have had a few accidents over the years and walk kinda funny but i do support the 2nd amendment, doctors say that one more mishap and i will lose my foot. which is nothing more than a stub at this point in time with a little skin and bone left. i cant wear sandles any more and i am sort of a joke around the firing range , they call me barney fife but it,s all in fun. just be carefull out there folks accidents can and do happen. see ya latter iam hobbling down to the rifle range for some practice .
