Watch the video but be prepared to be screaming at your screen ...

I could see it ending real bad for the robber if "the right person" had been behind the counter.

Damn we need the face palm emoji!

Grab gun, tap, rack, dead thug.

That thug was a pretty big dude, even with the gun not in battery, he could have probably beat the crap out of the employee and the one member here that may have been able to snatch the gun from the thug is no longer with us.

The robber was identified and later arrested. The clerk doesn't get paid enough to risk his life for what little money is in the register.

You now shot an unarmed man. I hope you like dancing for a large guy named bubba...

There is truth in that observation ... draw your own gun and while the idiot is wondering why his won't go bang ... fire and never say you knew his gun had a failure to feed properly.

Also grabbing and struggling for his gun might just actuate the slide enough to clear the jam (maybe???) and you'd could be looking at the wrong end. Again concealed means concealed until needed and then the idiot sees it 1.5 seconds before he goes "Oh crap!"

To avoid liability, corporations have a employee policy of not resisting.

A shorty 12 gauge under the counter would be the obvious answer- - - -let the scumbag keep his short range club while the counter guy backs up a couple of steps and gives him a new belly button!

I would have done exactly what the clerk did. Never draw against the drop unless you're certain the next step is getting killed. You're not that fast. However, to see if you ARE that fast, tonight stand at your bedroom doorway and turn out the lights. If you can be in bed before the room gets dark, you MAY be fast enough to beat someone who has the drop on you.

Even when the idiot's gun is out of battery with a stovepipe? I could probably beat him to the draw with a flintlock pistol in that situation. Maybe you need a glass belly button.

I'm not sure the clerk knows what out of battery means.

Well, yes, if you assassinated him, but I'm assuming there would be a struggle once you reached for the gun. If you took the gun away from him and he raised his hands and attempted to flee, sure, but in the heat of the moment, I don't see that happening.

We each have scenarios in our minds. My scenario is you snatch the gun and shoot the guy immediately. In the heat of the moment; one continuous action without time to question all those fine details that will get you killed by overthinking the situation.

I saw a thing on Facebook where some liberal website said killing someone in self-defense denied the attacker the right to a fair trial. I'm sure it wasn't serious, but it could be...Salon, Vox, or whatever.

The $200 in that cash register wasn't worth rasslin or getting punched in the nose by some dude with finger up his ass, let alone a moron with a gun out of battery. The victim is some kid working a crappy sub shop job. He did the right thing-- give him the damn money and get him the hell out!

coolgunguy

"Jimmy Johns... A cash drawer to the face so fast you'll freak! "

He did the right thing, which was to resist doing whatever it was he was obviously thinking, judging by the look on his face. The dirtbag picked up on it too, which is why he went from hiding the gun to putting it right in the dude's face and hollering. His actions may have been calm, but that dude was pissed enough to do something stupid. Good for him he was also smart enough to think twice.

Biggest problem is now days robbers shoot anyway. No witness or just violent thugs. You can't predict, I say the clerk was lucky to not be shot even for following directions. Somebody pulls a gun on me I may die but my right thump will be found in the gun mans' left eye socket. Later,

Gene L

In 30+ years of LE, I've never, ever seen a clerk who shot a would-be robber prosecuted. Unless the pumps a couple of rounds into the body and makes a statement about it, gloating. If anyone has, I'd like a reference.

The thing from Salon about denying one's right to a fair trial by killing in self defense is obviously a troll for the paranoid. My suggestion is to not let your paranoia be trolled like that. It makes one sound un-wise. It's not law, has never been law, and will never be law.

The kid behind the counter looks like he's in high school. And it looks like he's
done this before. Kind of sad to think not only of being robbed for chump change,
but repeatedly? The kid very possibly had no idea the gun was jammed, but the
robber appears to be some special kind of stupid. Why would he allow his gun to
jam at the worst time?

From a parents perspective, I'd rather hear from my son that he's been robbed
again, than hear from the police that he was killed in a struggle for a gun during
a holdup.

Maybe this wasn't his first rodeo, but if the hiring/training process for JJ's is like the rest, they will - in no uncertain terms - let you know that you are not to resist a robber. At all. Ever. Not even a little. The little bit of money the dirtbag gets or of the register is a miniscule fraction of what the company will be paying out after an innocent bystander is shot.

Without asking the dude behind the register, we'll never know the reason for the look on his face. It could be frustration at being hamstrung by policy, it could be anger at being threatened, it could even be fury at having someone 'dis' him that way.

Teach

Five students at the high school where I taught were killed in two different robberies, one at a McDonald's and another at a fish place, all by the same piece of human trash. He had served prison time for armed robbery previously and decided to leave no witnesses this time around. A couple of weeks later he did it a third time 40 miles away, kidnapping and killing two young girls at an ice cream store. I believe he's still on death row at Riverbend prison in Nashville.

I stopped doing business with McDonald's about a year after the killings when a janitor in Austin Texas broke up a robbery by shooting two guys and got fired for his heroism.

I stopped doing business with McDonalds when I found out how much
saturated fat is in their food. Folks who CC because they want to live
longer should also turn a weather eye to their dietary intake. Your gun
can't save you from your own eating habits.

Deep fried foods, and diet related cardio ailments kill many times more people than
bad guys do.

Don't eat saturated fat and live longer. Eat BBQ and ribs and die happy.

Yep, quality of years over quantity of years. Plus quite a few health nuts died early like Jim Fixx in his early 50s, Paavo Airola in his early 60s along with a few others. Just because you eat healthy don't mean you'll live longer so pass the bacon!
