In my search for articles to inform or amuse, I came across this. Not a true &#8220;Feel Good&#8221; story, but one worth telling. BLUF? Another case of poor victim selection skills.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A Washington mini-mart owner who has survived robberies in the past turned the tables on a would-be bandit last week.<\/p>\n<p>Tan Ho, the owner of Spokane\u2019s Hai\u2019s Mini Mart, told KXLY he stays ready to defend himself, keeping both a handgun and a machete at close reach under the counter.<\/p>\n<p>Ho, who told reporters he had previous experience scaring off an armed robber about a year ago, refused to be a victim when confronted last Tuesday at the shop when facing off with a man holding a knife and demanding money.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI pulled out my gun \u2014 like this \u2014 and I pointed it right at him, and he ran,\u201d said Ho. When prompted, he showed off his handgun, which looks to be an IWI Jericho 941 that he keeps in a leather thumb break holster attached to the counter.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/28VsmTYpam4\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Good trigger discipline and directional awareness.
