The Chicago Tribune reports that three masked robbers attempted to rob a commercial bakery in Chicago early this (Sunday) morning. As they rounded up employees and forced some into a cooler, others escaped and called the Chicago Police.
Should employees be allowed to carry guns at work? Loaded, I mean. Like, under their aprons, if they are bakers. Should employees allow themselves to be herded into a cooler?
Luckily, some employees fled and the robbers realized it and ran without harming employees. It could have turned out otherwise.
Once robbers begin to realize that their potential victims might be armed, these types of crimes will drop precipitously.
Recently I came across a clip on YouTube or an ad for some gun store or gun training operation, and the "robber" in the ad was complaining about concealed-carry laws. He complained that guns (in the hands of citizens) increased the chance of his being harmed while conducting his occupation as a "professional" robber. He complained that his workers compensation rates for his crew might go up, if his associates got hurt while robbing people. He said they were entitled to a safe "working environment", meaning they shouldn't have to worry about a citizen shooting back.
It was a very clever ad.
You never know who is interested…
