Ahhhh how we love it when criminals get killed.

More than one gun, death/injury. One gun = loose $220 dollars.
And this easily could have turned into a shoot out.

So criminals will just learn people have guns and get trigger fingers. So in the end more victims will be shot. and all the great guns all the good guys have will fall into the hands of the bad guys or their children or used during emotionally charged events.

So more guns=more deaths. BUT we got these bastards. Woo hoo.

isn't it better than the law abiding citizen getting killed? and it didn't turn into a shoot out. you can't play the what if game with every single story that shows law abiding citizens protecting themselves.

That's just it. Robbers want your stuff not to shoot you. Most robberies aren't violent but add a second gun and it's guaranteed shooting. This guy and all those around him were lucky. Rather person next to me getting robbed not have a gun. Also as pointed out in earlier post robbers will become more trigger happy thinking more have guns.
Add all those that will get killed by good guy guns being stolen or used by law abiding citizens since they aren't super humans. Just schmucks like the rest of us. Suicides, domestic issues.

Not celebrating this story. Too many downsides.

I've been to this place...pretty good stuff

That being said this is a bonehead idea. He talks about protecting his employees yet he seems to advocate customers opening fire at potential robbers at the cash register? Let's hope some innocent person doesn't get in the way of that gunfire.

"I just want the criminals to wonder whether customers have a gun," Bouvier said. "I don’t want a shootout but I also don't want people coming in here thinking I have a given them leverage over my employees and customers."

I think he was advocating a deterrent for criminals so that his customers and employees dont become victims

They'll still rob just have an itchy trigger finger. And to have some ignorant in experienced paranoid schmuck attempt to be Rambo?!?!?

More guns equals more deaths. Gun owners increase their chances of dying by gun due to having one.

That father should be charged with negligence at the very least, if not involuntary manslaughter. It may sound harsh and I'm sure he's distraught but we keep thinking people will learn from incidents like this and clearly they don't!

Having a gun increases the chances of having a death by a gun.

Leave a loaded handgun by your bed with toddlers in the house. Wow. Wonder how many times this guy argued against gun legislation? Wonder how many times this guy insisted that 'he shouldn't be punished for other bad gun owners' irresponsibility'?

Just brutal.

Three months ago one of my brothers friends received his green card. Works for Fortune 500 company. As soon as he got it he went to local gun store and purchased several guns. Was happy he now had the right.

Last Thursday he learned he was being laid off. Used one of the guns to shoot himself.

Accidental shootings, stolen guns, suicides.

God BlessAmerica and God Bless our rights to own guns. Yee haw.
