I have a friend who is a Doctor of pharmacy and manages a Walgreens. She used to be borderline anti-gun, believing that while it shouldn’t be illegal to own guns, she would never want much less carry one herself.
After a string of drug seeking pharmacy robberies in the area, I took her out and taught her to shoot. She now has a CCW and carries her gun to work. She got a .380.
Back in the early-mid 80s my “specialty” was working convenience stores that had robbery/homicides. Of the 5 that I worked, in 4 of them the clerk(s) were taken to the back room and murdered. The 5th fought back and survived.
I love the comments attached to these stories. Overwhelmingly pro carry and 2A but always at least 1 d-bag. Check out the comments to the linked article for the one bald guy(he uses his pic) who says the employee should be fired permit or not. Unbelievable!

Is used as incident of workplace violence by Bradys. /sarc
But really, that’s what I’m betting they’ll file it as.
Hooray for him though!

Has he been fired yet?

“It’s unclear whether the robber was struck, he said. Police are asking hospitals across the area to report if someone comes in with gunshot wounds.”
I thought they were already required to do this.

What Ellen said… Wasn’t it Walgreens that had the corporate policy of no guns in store?!?!
