Would be interesting to understand "There was a struggle"
DId he think he was goig to be shot? or He tried to be a hero?
I thought general policy - let them have it and do not be a hero
Maybe someone could clarify

But it obvious - sounds like the person understood the store and operations

Pretty vague on details. Hopefully the guy is okay.

I work retail and my bosses tell me if that ever happens, ask them "paper or plastic?"

Personally I wish my company would adopt a sensible weapons policy allowing employees to CC at work. My CCW instructor told us a story about a 19 year old kid who had spent some time inside, and when he got out, he robbed a gun store with a 22 and shot the clerk in the head before he left, killing him. When asked why he shot the clerk, the boy said the hardcore thugs he met when he was in jail told him to "leave no witnesses".

It could happen, and a CCW could save lives.
