I think you guys may be missing the point a bit. I am sure the employee was fired for breaking company policy, not the actual shooting. Any corporation even near as big as Walgreens has a policy in place about what to do in a situation such as this. I would bet dollars to donuts almost every single one of them states that you are to remain calm and collected and do whatever the nice man with the gun says you should. It is the safest option for everyone: employees, customers and bystanders. Whether what the clerk did was illegal, right, wrong, justiied or not he broke company policy (I am guessing 2 fold: once for being armed while on the floor and once for not complying with a robber) and was fired for it.
What you have to keep in mind in terms of corporate policies like this is that criminals have a fight or flight response just like you do. If you stick a gun in their face they are more likely to fire back just like you would.

The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
