I love how the customer standing next to the bad guy just looks at the gun but doesn't jump or visibly tense up. He keeps his hands in his pockets. Maybe he is pocket carrying and never had a good opportunity or good enough reason (e.g. the bad guy never fires his gun). Or he could just be an undercover back-up for the bad guy should someone try to stop the bad guy.

Two armed men, one with a rifle. Bad odds.

I thought about that. If you were that customer, and armed, and decided to act, you would not even know about the rifleman outside the door.
It would have been relatively easy to put a bullet in the back of the first bad guy's head and ended that threat very quickly, but after that... then what?

What do you think the 2nd gunman would have done? I know it's conjecture, but curious what others' opinions are.
I'm guessing he would just bolt, but I suppose there's a good chance he may have come charging in when he heard a gun shot inside. That would be VERY bad considering what he was carrying.

Maybe he is a recreational user of medical marijuana and was too far out of his mind to really know what was going on? :banghead:

Most folks will run once bullets started flying. It takes a determined individual to go into a gunfight that you can avoid.... So I'm thinking the guy at the door would have bolted.

:iagree:
Most of these bad guys are happy to stay around as long as they are dealing from a position of power. However, as soon as they figure out someone else is armed they are usually ready to vacate the scene.

It could have been a different story all together if Walgreen's hadn't fired their pharmacist in Oklahoma for carrying at work and opening fire on some robbers.
If Walgreen's would have realized the good that can come from someone being able to protect themselves and those in the store this pharmacist could have been legally carrying and could have ended it himself.

Even though this isn't a good example of self defense since he was found guilty....but still

So he made one of the customers kneel and put his head down? If that happened to me I would be thinking I was about to get a bullet to the back of the head. Hopefully they catch these guys.
