three employees pulled out handguns and opened fire
Taco Bell Employees Fatally Shoot Armed Robber
Police: Taco Bell Employees Fatally Shoot Armed Robber « CBS Pittsburgh CLEVELAND (AP) – Police say three employees of a Cleveland Taco Bell opened fire on two armed robbers, killing one. Police have said two masked robbers entered the restaurant early Wednesday and ordered three employees to lie on the floor. Police say three other employees pulled out handguns and opened fire, shooting one of the suspects six times. The other suspect ran off. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office on Thursday said the man killed was 24-year-old De’Carlo Jackson. Investigators say Jackson was found with a loaded gun in his hand. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead. No one has been arrested. The employees who opened fire are said to be two 19-year-old men and a 23-year-old man. A Taco Bell spokeswoman told Cleveland.com the company is “shocked” by the shooting and is offering counseling to employees. |

If they are in an area where concealed or open carry without a permit is legal, convenience marts, fast food joints, etc. should offer free firearms training and range time to all employees and advertise that they do so. Pay for their ammo at the range, too.

I agree that in the big picture, c-store robberies would plummet to near nothing if would-be robbers knew for a fact they faced an armed establishment. But the way the company is going to look at it is that a couple of lawsuits with good lawyers could break them. Those Taco-Bell employees will probably be let go quietly after the dust settles. |

I think a painted outline of the body on the floor sends a message to the next fool that tries to rob them. |

Holy crap....welcome to the wild wild west!
Hopefully these kind of news items will be a deterrent to wannabe criminals. ..... On second thought they would have to have a bit of intelligence for that to work....NOT! |

I once worked with a woman who had been fired from 7/11 for not cooperating during an armed robbery attempt. A young kid, a boy really, produced a knife and demanded money. She laughed at him and told him to GTFO of her store. Oops, that violates corporate policy. Her employment was promptly terminated. |

that was in Cleveland... Ohio, which is a conceal carry state. Almost all employers here do not allow workers to CCW when on the clock. My current employer does not.

As far as I am concerned those employees did the right thing. Criminals have no rights.

A mom-n-pop store can do that. They usually are the employees. I haven't seen a body line traced out, but I have seen the news article posted by the register of what happened to the last poor bastard that tried to rob them.
