Good job! What could've been a simple robbery was instead the death of a young man! Medals all 'round!

I am a very loyal Kroger shopper. I will not feel safe in their stores if I know that guns are banned for employees (especially managers).

If they announce a no-gun policy and fire that store manager, I will never shop at Kroger again, even though it is my favorite grocery store.

Guns in the hands of trained, licensed gun owners make me feel safe.

Establishments who are vocally anti-gun make me feel unsafe and I am not going to risk my life to shop at Kroger, no matter how much I love the store.

But V P would feel just fine if the robber had killed the female clerk, the manager, and robbed the store.
In a liberal's mind, that's OK. But to defend yourself or someone else is just terrible!
Why, it's so bad it made shoppers feel unsafe there!!!!! They weren't afraid of being robbed, raped, mugged, or killed by a robber. NO-O-O-O-O...they were afraid a legally licensed person would STOP A ROBBERY!
What a great world V P lives in!

It's great that this situation ended with the death of only the would-be-robber, but this guy violated his company policy and should pay the price by losing his job. He's damaged his company by dragging it into the gun-rights controversy and has made shoppers feel unsafe there.

Most companies have a "no-heroes" policy for a reason. This situation could have ended very badly for the random Kroger customer who caught a stray, but thankfully this time it didn't. Money is replaceable, lives aren't.

"some of those same people don't think guns should be allowed in the workplace."
Well...except for the criminal's guns.

I applaud the young man. Not only did he have a firearm (number one rule of a gun fight) but had enough control of his faculties to put it into effective use.

Most people I know who carry a firearm against company policy full expect to lose their jobs should they ever have to use the firearm. Should this young man lose his job I suspect a number of job offers will present from those less afraid of their insurance companies, corp lawyers and outsourced HR policy makers..

Now if I only knew what caliber I could swing by the store and drop off a box....

They should give him a metal.
