(1,076 posts)that one of the robbers has his gun pointing at the head of the clerk. Myself putting a Hollywood style head shot on the guy to stop him is unlikely, and careless. I am a very good shot and I practice head shots but the situation is different when it's real.They locked the doors for one of two reasons. They are going to take us in the back and kill us or they just don't want additional customers coming in so they control of the situation. If they are going to kill us when they move us that's when I open fire, hopefully I will have good aim and hopefully the one robber would have become distracted while they were moving us and lowered his weapon giving me an opportunity to draw my weapon and fire.
If the robbers intent is to snatch the money and run then let them have the money and let them go. No need to risk your life or someone else.
