The proprietor of a convenience store in midtown Tulsa, Okla., was working the register when a man came into the business wearing all black clothing and black face paint. Not surprisingly, the man’s next point of order was to demand money.
The store owner drew a pistol and commanded the suspect to exit the premises, which he did. The armed citizen was happy that no one was hurt in the exchange: “I was just hoping I’m not going to kill him and he would be wise enough to just leave.”
