#2 Texans don't just carry guns around everywhere
#3 Not every Texan has a gun
#4 Most Texans don't shoot guns often

me who is canadian

As a proud Texan I appreciate the acknowledgment of our similarities

yup

HOWA

f**king awful country, it should get nuked.

based

I am 100% Alabamian and confirm this statement and meme are accurate. Good job.

Me who lives in texas

DAMN!!!!!!

Fun fact: there are 30% more guns than people in America.

what

(Not including unregistered)

The fact that there are more REGISTERED guns in the country than there are people to legally use them... in my country there is 9 guns for every 100.

I've seen many videos of robbers going into stores and they end up wounded/killed by the bystanders or even by the clerk and it brings a smile to my face every time

im texan thats incorrect we do in fact shoot the threat

As a fellow Texan I concur.

bro hes was prob russian

Just shows its safer if you actually have guns to defend yourself.

the person was runnning out, he wasnt a threat any longer. im not a fan of the robber, but its the law.

They make it look as if they are taking away guns for others safety but its really just the ones running our world trying to make the people weak.

We also may do this in Florida

this isnt very funny, the customer is in prison due to the robber to no longer being a threat... he could have if he was aiming the gun at the cumstomer tho..

As a Tennessean, I can confirm we do this as well. It must just be a southern thing in general.

I think so

this is also true in maine

When you realise the robber was shot 9 times in the back by the customer without warning, the last being point blank stood over him when down and out on the floor, with the shooter fleeing the scene with other diners & only turning himself in when security footage shown.

The robbers gun was a toy. The robber was black, had a 4 month old son, had financial difficulties but got a job, a bad rap sheet though & served time.

and yes, i read that story a while ago.

I am now dead inside

If you don't want to get shot than maybe just don't rob people..?

Not all robbers or criminals are the super villain bad guys you see in the movies that want to be violent and threatening because it's who they are. Using a toy gun in this case might show he had no intention of harming, just threatening. Some feel they have genuine desperate reasons and no other way to solve them. Shooting them 9 times in the back in this case delivering your own justice on the spot rather than understanding and helping them or letting courts decide their fate might seem a little over reactive and disproportionate. Hindsight though and heat of the moment can cause us all to do irrational things. No winners.

he was no longer a threat.

he was never a threat to begin with.

he was in the beginning, he held up a gun to the register.

from davej1710's comment : "The robbers gun was a toy"

yes, they didnt know that? regardless, even if the gun was a toy, you dont know wether it would be or not. if it looks real enough you will still put the money in a bag.

I'm aware, they had no idea he wasn't a threat, just a desperate man that needed money for his family. The toy gun was convincing enough to make them think it was a real gun, therefore he was an immediate threat.

I'm just saying that he was never a threat to begin with. They just had no idea he wasn't a threat.
