OC related, even though the example I sight, I <strike>can't</strike> am not supposed to carry at work (but probably will when I have something suitable).
It's still a defense question, however....
For those places where retreat is impossible, due to buildings or geographic features, particularly if you live in a state that has a "Duty to Die" law, what do you do?
This came up when I saw a video on Youtube of a hotel worker shooting a robber (three hits, all in the side of the torso!).
This got me thinking.... If someone comes in, intent on robbing the place, I literally have nowhere to go.
I can hide behind a door with no lock.
I can TRY and kick the boss's office door in, while the door behind me remains open and otherwise unsecurable.
I can go into the lobby, RIGHT NEXT TO WHERE THE ROBBER WOULD BE STANDING (door 2).
Aaaaand... that's about it. I even worked up my elite MS Paint skills and made a little floorplan.
Legend
1> Automatic slide-openentrydoors
2> Cipher-Lock Door (black push-button combo lock) to private work property area
3> Door with non-functioning cipher lock, door is held open 24/7, and unable to be secured, without McGuyver's help.
4> Locked door to seperate office area, opens inward, would be time-consuming to kick through.
