You Call That a Knife? THIS is a Knife!

From The Smoking Gun:

In a Crocodile Dundee-like moment, a Florida convenience store clerk repelled a machete-wielding robber by pulling out her own machete from behind the store’s counter, a faceoff captured by a store surveillance camera. On Tuesday, a man wearing a blue sweatshirt and baggy jeans approached the counter of the Lil’ Saints store in Stuart and pulled the weapon from his pants. After he moved away from the counter for a moment, clerk Guillermina Sanchez, 46, grabbed her machete from under the cash register. After a 20-second standoff (during which time the man frantically pressed keys on the register in a bid to open it), the robber left the business.

    Brave woman. But she should have chopped off his hand or at least his fingers when he was fiddling with the cash register.

    “What happens when he comes back with a gun?”

    In overly liberal California, he has the upper hand and successfully robs the store, getting away with it.

    In 45+ other states? She pulls her own gun and blows the criminal away.
