I guess Mr. Thief didn&#8217;t know that concealed carry isn&#8217;t open carry;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dallas County Sheriff Harris Huffman Jr. says the gunman walked into the store waving a gun in the air and forced a cashier and customer at gunpoint towards a break room area. At that point, the customer pulled out a concealed weapon and shot the suspect in the chest once.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He escorted a customer and a cashier toward a break room. The cashier went in first and the customer went in behind her and the individual had the gun on the customer and the customer had a pistol concealed in a holster and when the customer got to the door, he turned around and shot the individual,&#8221; Huffman told WSFA. <\/p>\n<p>The gunman was pronounced dead at the scene. The entire incident played out in less than five minutes, police said. <\/p>\n<p>Other customers and delivery men were inside the store at the time of the incident. Several customers making their way into the store saw the man waving a gun and ran away.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>There was another sign on the doors of the business stating that open carry of a weapon was not allowed inside the store. According to the sheriff, the customer&#8217;s gun was concealed and inside a holster. His investigators are confirming whether or not the customer has a valid concealed carry permit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript' src='http:\/\/kltv.images.worldnow.com\/interface\/js\/WNVideo.js?rnd=669803;hostDomain=www.kltv.com;playerWidth=630;playerHeight=355;isShowIcon=true;clipId=9739633;flvUri=;partnerclipid=;adTag=News;advertisingZone=;enableAds=true;landingPage=;islandingPageoverride=false;playerType=STANDARD_EMBEDDEDscript;controlsType=overlay;galleryType=wnstory;galleryId=24474261'><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen sends us a link to our first feel good story this morning, this time from &hellip; <a title=\"Saturday Morning Feel Good Stories\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=39346\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Saturday Morning Feel Good Stories<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[218],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-feel-good-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39346"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39346\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
