If you’re faced with an armed robber and decide to hit that ‘GO’ button, that means you’re ready to go all-in against this guy and win the fight. The clerk in the video below did just that, and was able to win the fight and actually get the gun away from this guy and send him running.
The robber is seen almost hiding the gun behind his back after displaying it, and the clerk may have taken this as a sign that the robber wasn’t likely to use the gun. That’s my opinion of course, and it could absolutely be wrong, but his gut may have been telling him that and in turn, gave him a little more confidence to engage.
Some armed robbers are killers and some aren’t. No one really wants to find out.
