Maybe someone with more skill can embed the video.

Looks like the clerk needs to work on his weapon retention skills, but the outcome is good.

Thank you.

Having a .177 bore does not necessarily make it an airgun. There are .177 caliber cartridges available (i.e. 177 Mach II and 177 HMR). A .177 bore weapon pointed at me may result in a different outcome.

Though if it truly was an airgun, isn't that kind of like bringing a knife to a gunfight??

Interim Police Chief James Mann said Hayes "is one of the world's dumbest, and luckiest to be alive, criminals."

Guy is lucky the clerk didn't shoot him.

The clerk needs to work on trigger skills. Maybe the safety was on or something.

The guy resisting, not following commands, would have been dead, especially that close. There is no margin for error there. If the BG had been able to grab the gun away, that would have been a whole 'nuther outcome.

Apparently, the clerk has zero training in "retention shooting skills" - if he had, the criminal wouldn't have been able to touch the clerk's pistol.

I don't believe there are any 17 caliber semi-auto handguns. If you know of any, give me a lead because I want to buy one.

The clerk was quite confident almost to the point of being negligent.

Interesting. I'm surprised because when I was looking for a semi-auto rifle it was my understanding that the rather expensive Volquartsen is the only one currently in production. Other manufacturers, like Remington, withdrew their products because cycling problems were causing some guns to fire out of battery. So I got a lever action instead.

Volquartsen made a conversion kit for Ruger mkII and mkIII chambered in 17 mach 2.
