No, that's not my assumption.
If I'm guilty of assuming anything, it is that he was carrying a firearm to protect *himself*, not the store. And why would he feel that need? Just look at the rest of the available information. The better question for the dad to have asked would have been, "What was MY SON doing with a firearm?" bcnu, Mikem I think religion should be treated with ridicule, hatred and contempt. And I claim that right. Christopher Hitchens. |

Yeah, 'xackly.
The better question for the dad to have asked would have been, "What was MY SON doing with a firearm?"So now it's been asked of both parties. Kind of suggests the question "What is PRETTY MUCH ANYONE doing with a firearm?", doesn't it? -- Christian R.

What assumptions? The employee had a gun, the would-be robber had a gun.

No, that's not clear at all. That's your assumption.
