no way would I work as a clerk without a gun ON me...I would lock the doors at night and if you didn't look like an innocent customer, you would not get in the store. Some of taliban ran store owners are greedy basstards who don't care about their employee's safety

I say bring back the Tommy method of crime fighting. I have a close life long friend that works in federal security. With his big gun and all. That's an expensive answer. We pay taxes for the police to protect and serve. Let the people getting paid to do this come up with a plan. Or replace them at elections. Why should a business owner have to pay two people to do one job. YES Put the two way mirrors back up and shuffle where you place people behind them. Make it state wide. Some will say that will cause taxes to go up. Wonder what will happen to pricing if business owners have to hire outside security. OH! By the way. We used to own our own small business. Health problems cost us that. Then I was a thug. As bad as they get. When I tell you things in the laws that are enforced in our justice system are flawed you know some thing is wrong. How? My crime partner is doing life. Some of the ones that we used are doing 20 and better in federal prisons. I'm walking the streets. Didn't do a day. Didn't testify on anyone. Smart lawyer said keep your mouth shut. Thank you for a thing called statue of limitations.

In the past few days, I have offered my local c-stores free security, atleast until this "trend" comes to a stop. I am licensed by the federal govt. to provide private security, have all of my permits/licenses, etc., as does every single employee of mine. Sad part is, none of them seemed interested. They pretty much told me "it wont happen to us, never has before." But on the other hand, we have picked up a few new clients lately. If youre not going to hire a security firm, atleast arm your stores. Never know when some shat for brains will come in and try to rob you.

Sounds like it could be to the point they need to hire armed security. Not cheep, but neither is a robbery or a death!
