Would you have fought this armed robber or just let him go when he tried to jump the counter? I don’t blame this clerk for fighting back once she was convinced that the pistol was fake, though I don’t think she HAD to. This is the beauty of Active Self Protection, in that you get to choose when and how to defend yourself.

Store Owner Foils Armed Robbery Attempt
How would you have responded to this armed robbery? I wish every attempted armed robbery went this well! I think the store owner practiced pretty good Active Self Protection and it looks like no innocents were hurt, either.
