Come and Take Them!

Academy Sports Store Manager Fired for Tackling, Stopping Gun Thief [More]
Academy Sports: Where "Come and take them" is an invitation, and their appeasement policy endangers patrons by encouraging criminals to do just that.

So why would any gun owner shop there?

Elise Hasbrook, you corporate cudchewer: It's not about protecting your damn merchandise or reducing your risk management liability. It's about a man having a right to defend against a self-established and active danger whose further intentions are unknowable.

And you've got a pretty warped definition of "hero."

UPDATE: Looks like the corporate herbivores have backed down and rehired the guy.

It's all "academic" for me because it's too little too late, and they've already shown the stuff they're made of. It took furious social media backlash to bring about the epiphany that corporate SJWs had talked them into screwing the pooch in front of everybody, so the hell with 'em.

Fire the spokesweaselette and I might reconsider.

And there would have been nothing stopping the perp from loading the pistol in the parking lot, walking back into the store and start shooting.

What astounds me is that a judge granted the perp bail, after declaring that he'll keep trying to get a gun and ammunition and killing people. From what I've heard, he knows some people he feels to be a threat to him and his family and wants to end them, and not just anyone he happens upon.

But that doesn't give me warm fuzzies.
