Stick up at gas station scenario

[neviander]

As soon as he sees or notices me, I'd do a tactical rolling dive behind the Frito-Lay display. As the bullets fly around me, destroying innocent Hostess cakes and obliterating bags of Doritos,

Aw Man!
You are supposed to keep the Doritos, Bean Dip, Dr.Pepper and Honey Buns safe.

Use the bottled beer for cover and the beans/soup/ display for a backstop

*sniff*
not supposed to let Dr. Pepper, Doritos , Bean Dip, and Honey buns get hurt..

Well, to answer a question I received, I would certainly not want to shoot somebody that was trying to prevent a robbery in my store. If I let it get as far as one fellow directing another to drop his gun, I may just pull mine and take cover.

My point was that in all of the confusion I may be swept, or just perceive the would-be good guy as a threat. How many LEO's shoot the wrong person in those simulated drills? It is nice to plan things the way that you want them to go down, but reality may have a different plan.

Also, I wanted to throw The Armed Clerk into the mix, as you may encounter one. He may not be calm and poised like the old Dismantler. At the first sign of danger he may start to spray and pray.

I live in the inner city, and frequent a local Stop 'N Rob, usually at night (not by choice....I work odd hours.) I don't leave the house without a Bersa 45 behind my hip, and I almost got carjacked on the way home from there last fall. (That's when I upgraded to the 45! ) I've thought about this scenario, and decided that the only way my gun is coming out of concealment is if the BG is threatening to shoot someone, or already has. I'm not turning a simple robbery into a shootout unless it's already become one.

But as has been pointed out, these situations rarely happen the way we anticipate!

Is a gun in his hand? Is he pointing it at people? Is his finger on the trigger?

Then he's threatening to shoot.
