GG Citizen Killed Chasing Bank Robber in PA

Not a batman license, indeed.
Of course it's more than just money, I understand. But is a banks' insured cash worth dying for?

How sad. The bank money was insured. Just another story of someone who should have tried to be a good witness and nothing else as the robber was already out of the store and driving away...no one was in immediate danger. They could have gotten a good description of the car and let the police do their thing. Another thing I noticed was that he jumped into the car and tried to pull a knife to stop the robber. The robber shot him.....

The good samaritan brought a knife to a gunfight. Never ends well for the good guy in that scenario.

Might have turned out differently had he been a CHL but still this is not a fight that I would have tried to use my handgun to stop. Not all good guys win, especially when it turns out the BG was armed. If only they had background cheked him.
