IS DIS LEGAL IN CALIPORNIA???????????

'Then shoot me,' the clerk boldly told the gun-toting crook in front of her, 'because you're not getting the money.'
Store workers typically don't intervene when crooks come calling.

The standard operating procedure is to just let the lawless do what the lawless do — i.e., whatever they want. Certainly, employees aren't going to go out of their way to stop crimes and theft where they work. In the vast majority of cases, it's not their money or merchandise taking flight from the businesses — and what, after all, will most prosecutors do to petty crooks caught in the act?

'I was thinking, "I'm here to serve the people, and I'm here to protect this store. And that's what I'm gonna do, and I would do it again."'

Well, the store employees you're about to get to know below aren't your garden-variety working stiffs. In many cases, they've had it up to here with crooks robbing them and their bosses blind. They know most criminals these days aren't expecting any resistance. Such a short-sighted stereotype very much works to the advantage of the good guys — and gals.

The forthcoming tidbits feature the likes of a mother and daughter encountering a crook right at closing time ... a hard-working dad on a conference call with his daughter's school as he's ready to wind things down for the evening when a thug puts a pistol in his face ... and a woman behind a counter who reads the riot act to a gun-toting goon who threatens to shoot her if she doesn't hand over all the register's cash. Oh, and she has a piping hot weapon at the ready for him too.
