Anyone comes in my store with a weapon to rob me better be in a Kevlar suit because I'm unloading my 9 into him.

 

As soon as the fool picks up a weapon and makes the choice to use the weapon as a means to threaten the health of another for the purpose of taking their money he assumes the risk of the repurcussions. He assumes the risk of myself being overly aggressive with a weapon. He assumes the risk of any bystander being Bruce Willis yippy-eye-ky-O. He assumes the risk of any Johnny Do Gooder shooting him in the back as he's running down the street.

 

I don't believe property is ever worth a life. But nonetheless, a criminal assumes risks when acting in a criminal manner.
