The only people that benefit from unarmed citizens are the criminals. As, this increases their chance for continued assaults on innocent citizens, unscathed. Even if the victims escape with no physical injury, the mental injuries will last some time. That feeling of being "safe" is taken away. Of course in this instance, the citizens were lucky that the UNPROVOKED gunshots were not fatal. Will you bet your life on "luck?" If you are unarmed, then you are at the mercy of the assailant. You can do nothing and still be killed. The criminals prey on the fact that not many people are armed and able to defend themselves. The criminals will be armed regardless of laws. So, imagine if most LAW-ABIDING citizens were armed. Sure, it would be messy for a while as the criminals were gunned down one after another. Once that gene pool gets narrowed down, those of us that work and know what sacrifice is, can be return to some semblance of being safe in our homes and out in public.

“Yeah, like that would have helped.......all that sort of nonsense does is encourage criminals to shoot first” - Grand Union

Perhaps you missed this line from the article:

“the robbers began shooting almost immediately upon entering the store” – article

all that sort of nonsense does is encourage criminals to shoot first or start a gun fight where its just as likely or even more so that the Clerks will be killed ...Grand Union

That is so funny, i'm not going to defend myself because crimminals might start shooting first, lol Just like I said before, Liberals want to put the blame on everyone but the individual. When will people take responsibility for their own actions. I guess this won't happen for another 4 years.

"Yeah, like that would have helped.......all that sort of nonsense does is encourage criminals to shoot first or start a gun fight where its just as likely or even more so that the Clerks will be killed as the criminals.....hard as you may find it to believe most robberies result in nobody being injured let alone killed."

They did shoot first or did you not read the article. They will do this again. These guys are no better than wild, rabid animals. Need to be put down and don't deserve to be walking the earth. Yes, it would have helped the next store clerks that these guys bust in on and shoot up.....wouldn't happen because they would be gone!

"Life in Prison/Death Penalty??? I would have preferred the employees or the customers had been armed, shot back and killed both of the pieces of trash and be done with it. No trial, no prison. Save the taxpayer a load of money."

"death penalty when convicted."

No one has died (yet).....so no death penalty case (yet).

"Sad thing is they will continue to do these robberies until they are caught and others could be killed. In their minds they are getting money for Christmas shopping...You know they never had a JOB and never Will have a JOB. We now live in a GIMME-DAT nation...foisted on us by GIMME-CRATS who get and keep their power by paying their Voters with Welfare, Food Stamps, Obama-fones, and every other FREEBIE they can think of."

since you seem to know so much about them perhaps you could tell the police who they are.....instead of whining because you lost. When will you grasp that you lost because of that sort of nonsense?

I was wondering if the comments were going to make it past page one before someone started blaming Obama for the criminal activity in Fayette-nam.

Obama phones....LOL. Maybe you should read up on "Obama phones" and find out that the Lifeline program has been around since 1984 and that just recently they have included cell phones due to the lower costs of wireless. Or just keep on spouting on about things you haven't bothered to look up, your choice. Truth or ignorance.

@Foghat001: Read the first line, it says "Two employees were shot" and it later says that there were customers who hid out of sight of the gunmen .... ergo victims=clerks.
