Blaze News’ first installment of its two-part series on store workers who use their guts, fists, and wits to battle crooks tooth and nail features a mother and daughter encountering a crook right at closing time … a hard-working dad on a conference call with his daughter’s school as he’s ready to wind things down for the evening when a thug puts a pistol in his face … and a woman behind a counter who reads the riot act to a gun-toting goon who threatens to shoot her if she doesn’t hand over all the register’s cash. You no doubt recall that she has a piping hot weapon ready for him, too.
