This clerk practiced pretty good Active Self Protection, don’t you think? To fight an armed robber you need to seize the opportunity you’re presented, and I think he did a great job.

How do I protect myself from an armed robber?

1. Empty-handed skills are absolutely critical for self-defenders. First of all, more conflicts you will encounter as a self-defender will require empty-handed skills than will require firearms skills, simply because more self-defense encounters are physical than deadly. Second, since a firearm is a tool of last resort, self-defenders need to have non-lethal options that include empty-handed skills to protect themselves from likely incidents. Third, in the moment of the encounter you may not have the time to get to your gun before you can fight your way to it. All this clerk had was empty-handed skills to go on, so that alone shows you how important they are!
