Who are the two groups opposed to carrying guns in the workplace?
The Gun Control crowd and the Criminals! Not much of s surprise there.
Via Concealed Nation we find the case of 23-year-old Roosevelt Rappley who went into a Dollar Store, produced a gun to rob the place and ended up shot by an armed employee. Police investigated and so far it looks like a very legal shooting. That same store had been robbed four times prior which is probably why dear old Roosevelt though it would be easy pickings.
And now we have the family on TV and as we sadly are accustomed to see, they barely lay the blame for the consequences of his actions on the idiot kin who decided it would be a good idea to threaten people with a gun for cash, but come down on the employee who stopped Mr Rappley’s forcible felony:
Ain’t she ever so charming? She is explaining to us that them be some rules about armed robbery and one of them is that nobody is supposed to be armed but the robber. This is pretty much similar to the excuses we hear from Gun Control Zealots explaining the dangers of being armed in the workplace. She is the best example of this old bumper sticker:
Most stores’ rules are: “Just let them kill you, OK? We don’t need a lawsuit and BLM protesting in front of HQ.” but apparently Dollar Stores have a different take on store security than the rest of corporate America.
Dollar General did not confirm or deny if employees were allowed to carry firearms, but did say that they have “a number of safety and security procedures.”
“To protect the integrity of these measures, we do not comment on them specifically,” said a statement issued by the company. “We are continuing to review the circumstance surrounding this evening’s events in Dayton, Ohio, and are cooperating with local authorities in their investigation.”
Dollar General shooting: Man shot after attempted armed robbery identified
The best thing Dollar Stores could do is to get this publicized as much as it can. Maybe a violent robber or two will rethink about hitting a local and the workers can be safe.
