Not a troll at all but why sit around and think of things that may happen? train and be prepared! But you dont have to sit and wait for the worst to happen. many of these are so far fetched i would worry more about being hurt by falling space garbage than the scenario happening.
Failure to be mentally prepared leads to indecisiveness and increases the chances of taking the wrong action or delayed action. Like I said earlier, I am prepared to shoot someone threatening me with deadly force and would not hesitate if I thought my life in danger.
Many members have made a highly valid point that you can never be sure of what the robber will do and that one should exploit any opportunity to "take control" of the situation. Again, claim that this scenario is far fetched. Which scenario are you talking about? Getting robbed? Over half a dozen restaurants of this particular franchise I own have been hit in the past 3 months? My restaurant is very busy and we are coming into the holiday season. What better time to hit a restaurant? If you are saying that the possibility of retaliation is low, I invite you to provide statistics. Retaliation may be physical or legal.
I don't believe that Florida prevents family members of dead scumbags from taking civil action against people who were not charged with a homocide. Furthermore, I don't plan on closing the business or changing my name or address so finding me won't be hard. Will I be 100% prepared against any attacks? Probably not. It is impossible to prevent an ambush since I do not know everymember of the scumbag's family. The same goes for my wife and parents, plus they are not as capable to defend themselves.
We do not live in a bubble and understand that there are risks involved with owning a business. Their stance is that we increase the risks or additional trouble (be it physincal or legal) by shooting and killing someone over money that is insured. I hope it never happens, but based on the responses so far, all resonses have been to take control of the situation, whether it be shooting or attempting to disarm him at gun point. Trust me... any agression will be met with equal or greater force.
