Officers said the armed shoplifter ran out of Walmart on Carlisle Boulevard at about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday with a flat-screen TV in one hand and a gun in the other.
Authorities said loss prevention officers ran after the man, who immediately threatened them with his gun.

Well I suppose it's thanks to our strict gun laws but generally shoppies here are more likely to want to punch on with loss prevention staff than anything else, there is always the risk of sharp edged weapons OR blood filled syringes...
Doesn't seem to prudent pursuing an armed thief though, collateral damage and duty of care to bystanders/customers need to be factored into the store's loss prevention policy risk assessment."We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give" - Winston ChurchillComment

Gun Laws work towards simply limiting selection of/and access to firearms, people who live outside the confines of accepted community values would still be able to source black market weapons albeit less easily than in a country without similar legislation.Originally posted by HotelSecurity View Post

There are oroabably cases of people drowning in a desert. (Fell into a tank of water etc) But with less water around there is less a chance of it happening. Same as with guns. If there are less of them around there is less of a chance of someone having one.Originally posted by Maelstrom View PostI enforce rules and regulations, not laws.

The limitations of firearms do reduce the amount of acts of passion; that is to say, the commission of a crime because you just happen to have a firearm handy. As far as organized crime and serious firearm crime, though, a criminal will get his gun one way or another, whether it's legal or not.Comment

Exactly, Gun Laws will temper gun related crime by all but the most determined criminals..."We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give" - Winston ChurchillComment
