What a bozo. If he hadn't fired his weapon, he might have actually gotten away. By drawing attention to himself, he didn't even make it out of the parking lot.

Rational decision making is probably not high on his list of personal strengths. :roll:

I suspect the knee jerk reaction will be to post 06/07 signs?
Chance favors the prepared. Making good people helpless doesn't make bad people harmless.
There is no safety in denial. When seconds count the Police are only minutes away.
Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?

Hmmm... Not unlike a robbery here in our small town Wal Mart. Gun displayed, got hinky when the cashier wasn't quick enough, fired a shot in the floor.

Interesting.

Probably. Perhaps they should be different and try "No Armed Robbery Allowed" signs....

I'm sure the criminal element will follow through with their request to not rob the store. :mad5

those signs could do a lot of good, maybe 30.08 no robbery allowed , that way robbers know which stores are safe zones

Exactly. If only there'd been a sign, this wouldn't have happened. :roll:

My guess would be Glock + Bad Finger Discipline.
Surely he was not that stupid to shoot into the floor. I am convinced that he had involuntary sympathetic reflex, and discharged his weapon.

Or, it could have been a finely crafted Jiminez pistol, and actually shot all by itself. (Guns do that you know)

Corporate policy for Sams and Walmart is to follow state law. They are not going to post signs.
