Silly huh?
Sheeple comments remind me of this commercial.
Politically correct Bravo Sierra.
Eventually the thief will shoot somebody, and if it were not for brave men like him, they would not hesitate to do so.
May I ask, what is your carbon foot print?

The "right" thing in this case had been decided long before the robber walked through the door.
Autozone had discussed the issue of armed robberies and decided that they never wanted a shootout in the store to occur, and that employees were to follow certain instructions to ensure maximum safety of people, even if that meant loss of Autozone property and/or revenue.
This gunslinger said "to hell with that"!

This "gunslinger" is not different than me here in NH, practicing my right to bear arms.

I can legally bring my gun to work and leave it in my vehicle.
But we arent talking "legally" here, we're talking about company rules.
In my opinion, getting fired from that "going nowhere fast" job with all this media attention will bring about 1000s of good job offers to this man.
really - would you hire a man whoes main " claim to fame " is :
i ignore company policy
well would you ?

I'll never understand the mentality behind risking your life for other people's money. Don't get me wrong - when confronted with that sort of situation, confronting and stopping an armed robber is admirable and some would say heroic, but I can safely say that I would -never- do it.
Putting ones arse on the line to protect your OWN property is an entirely other thing, or to protect anothers life. And I don't agree with this fella losing his job, if anything the corp should have gave his a plaque or something to hang on his wall, that or a raise.
