I'll think about this story when I choose one of four auto parts stores to shop.

Hes a vet, we arent trained to kill our own citizen , even if dangerous.

We are trained to handle every situation with care. If isntead of running he pointed the gun at him , he wouldve gotten one in leg.

He stopped the rubbery , mission accomplished.

I wonder if he would have gotten fired if he then had the police report to show he saved a life. Lawsuit, extenuating circumstances?

I wonder if he would have gotten fired if he HAD shot the person. He could have shown that he saved a life. Possible lawsuit, extenuating circumstances?

He probably would have been arrested and charged with something ridiculous. His only mistakes were getting involved, and caring for a company that doesn't care for him.

Because when he came back in to the store and confonted the guy he ran away. You can not claim self defense, or defense of any kind, if the person runs away. Had he shot him as he ran away he would face murder charges. Now, had the robber advanced towards him in a threatening manner that is different.

AutoZone will never see a cent of my money ever again.
