Shooting and not hitting your target is a sinful waste of both lead and powder. Range time. People have money for movies, cigarettes, liquor, and Starbuck’s, but not enough to go to the range? Or to build one at their home? Priorities?
Nothing for nothing but most perps holding up a store are there to take the money, get away,and not get into a shootout. For an employee to start shooting with customers in the store is not a good idea. Let them take the moola. Now if the perps start to endanger the customers with deadly physical force, then it’s a different ball game.
