[QUOTE="bubbaturbo, post: 3619095, member: 3194"] A long time ago in Memphis, my wife went into a "baby superstore" with my son in a stroller while I went into a computer store next door to get some floppy discs. A few minutes later, I followed them in and while looking for them, ended up at the back of the store where I saw something bizarre. A large man in jeans and a tee shirt was trying to take a woman's purse away from her. She would not let go of the strap and was being slung around on the floor, screaming, and she had wet her pants. About 8-10 people, including employees, were standing around watching but doing nothing. This was before CC licenses but at that time, you could sign up with the sheriff to be a "special deputy" and I was armed. Fortunately for me, I decided to find my wife and son and un-ass the place. On the way out, the same employee who had pulled the automatic doors open for me when I went in but said nothing to me, pulled them open for us on the way out (because they had been turned off to keep the woman from running out) and told us the guy was their store security and the woman was a suspected armed shoplifter. I don't know why anyone else was allowed in after this started, I'm really glad I didn't try to intervene, and even though this was a nicer part of town at the time, I wish I had been smart enough to stay with my wife and son, especially since I was concerned enough to go to the trouble of getting the sheriff's permission to be armed.
