    Well here is my thoughts on this. Five years ago I worked for a
    chain of stores in a small town and one wonderful christmas evening a
    man came in put a gun to my head had me duct tape up 5 employees and
    take the money. Okay ... I am a huge pro gun type guy I love them,
    there my hobbie. At the time of the robbery the owners only would let
    me have a fake camera and no firearms. The man was going to kill me
    because he wanted the vidio tape, well a problem here..fake camera no
    tape! I did the best sales job in my history covincing him it was
    fake and no tape around. I now own my own store and my policy is
    this.... First nothing is worth my or employee's life, however there
    is a time when you could have to" fight" for your life. I do carry
    conceled if I am at the store late and to go to my car. I also carry
    a remote key pad, cell phone and I call my wife when I leave. If I
    dont call once I am in the car she calls the police. Am I over
    cautious? Nope just take a simple pound of prevention. Now carring a
    "gun" means Yes I will kill if my life or others is going to be taken
    and if you chose to carry this is a grave reasponsability. The last
    and I mean last resort to protect your life would be a weapon. In the
    robbery I could of easaily taken the gun from this man and hurt him
    badly but why? It's only money... Now if he wants my life than I will
    fight for it. If someone put there hand over the most controlled
    persons mouth and stopps there air what happens? The person will
    fight for life.... Another thought is panic buttons. It to is a big
    choice. If ya push it you could be a hostage now or a dead pearson
    trying to push it. I prefer to let a bad guy leave and then push it.
    Okay theres my thoughts..... There are great store security tapes out
    there also and if you carry a weapon read the book "In the gravest
    extreme" Then decide to carry or not. Sincerely, Chip Stone (Yes this
    is my name)
