I had a friend who worked in a chicken takeout joint in the bad part of town some years back...he was engaged with a coworker and they usually worked the night shift so that they could spend more time together.
As luck would have it, they were closing up when someone forgot to lock the back door(to the food storage room)...two BG's came in that way, when one grabbed his fiancee. My friend was not packing then, so he followed their instructions, even laid down on the floor because he was worried they'd do her in right there.
Things changed, when the two BG's announced that "they would take this FINE woman with them to make robbing the place, WORTH THEIR WHILE!"
One of the BG's showed a smallish revolver and warned the other workers and my friend, not to follow them or someone would get hurt.
My friend did a slow burn and as soon as they backed out of the rear door, he brought out his .30-.30 Winchester, which he had kept hidden for just this occasion...he followed them out the door and eared the hammer back to point his rifle at the BG's...they screamed to no shoot...they let his fiancee loose and they took off running.
He told me that he was just ready to drop the hammer on the BG closest to his girlfriend (MY FRIEND IS A GOOD RIFLE SHOOTER), when he felt the trigger drag and lock..he couldn't get the trigger to move further back. He said he felt as if someone had touched him on the shoulder, then put a finger behind the trigger to prevent it from moving, no matter how much pressure he put on the trigger.
After everyone had calmed down and he had explained the situation to the responding LEO's, he showed the officers' the rifle, when the officer holding the rifle pulled the trigger. Imagine my friend's face when it made a loud "CLICK".
In the excitement, my friend forgot to rack a round into the chamber.
He said he came that close to killing a man, but for some fate, he didn't. He's become a stronger Christian, since that incident, he has moved back to Mississippi.
