(184 posts)It's not a matter of 'faith' any more than your 'faith' that he painted targets on them. There are two plausible outcomes Crimiminals wanting an easy score will not go to the store that is defended with a firearm. Or Criminals wanting to score know that this store is protected by firearms and must blast their way in. If, as so many here have suggested criminals attempt to be pragmatic in their target selection to be as successful as possible they would probably go to the less armed place. Most Veterans think within the moment and react to the situation as it unfolds. They used to tell us not to identify ourselves as military on airplanes that have been attacked. Now they advise us that if the situation permits we should try and organize and then fight to retake the plane. The point really is that we have to decide what measures are for us passive or active and we have to make that decision based upon the tactical problem at hand. Situation dependent. Which is what this guy did.
