#1 Used to trade with an upscale coin shoppe owner who was severely beaten and robbed. He reopened with dual locking doors and entry chamber. Then I noticed he was packing, at this point I must add that this guy was a frail and gentle soul, whose main passion in life was hunting odd varieties of early U.S. 1/2 cents. Then I noticed the dawg, then I noticed the other dawgs. Rottweilers and Dobies, they were watch me like a hawk. Still in business, never robbed again. Must go visit him sometime. Still need a 1908S in matching AU for my collection.

#2 At least three employees were said to have fired weapons at the robbery suspects.

A pack, not a herd.

#3 Used to work with an doc who had been robbed & shot during office hours when he worked in Detroit in the late 1970's. He then became an ER doc and packed a pistol in an ankle holster whenever he was on duty, this in rural Ohio.
Also met an EMT in Denver who did the same on his ambulance runs.

#5 Glad the bad guys were the only ones that failed the "Two way rifle range" challenge.
