a case for arms

How unfortunate that 17 year old girl in Montréal was slain just for showing up for
her shift. It’s unfortunate when anyone is slain just for earning legitimate
income, but I doubt she would still be alive if there was another employee on.
First of all, judging by the arrest warrants the Police seem to think there are 3 or
4 people involved in this horrific crime; if they are right there seems little a
co-worker could do, but perhaps just be a second dead person. Worse still, there
is no certainty a co-worker would be willing to help. What might save this teens
life is if stores in Canada were allowed to arm themselves like the stores in the
States can arm themselves if they choose.
If she had access to a handgun, and been willing to use it she might have saved
her life without fire a single; even held the criminals at gun point until the police
arrived. And if she had shot and killed all of her attackers oh well why should it
be her instead of them!
