Also known as the Tueller Drill, the 21-foot rule comes from an article from years ago. In it, a Salt Lake City police officer Dennis Tueller asked how close is too close when facing an attacker with a knife? He determined that most bad guys can cover 21 feet in 1.5 seconds. So, to defeat an attacker with a knife, blunt object or even sword, a shooter must draw and fire accurately in 1.5 seconds. There is a lot more to the rule and the drills than this, but that is the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thinking on this, the Family Dollar employee probably used the aisles and other concealment to eliminate the option of a charge. Also, if the gun in already out, firing time is sped up greatly. In any case, the employee used good judgement in carrying in a store many might consider dangerous. He also used levelheadedness to protect his store and send these guys packing without even firing a shot.<\/p>\n","post_title":"VIDEO: Family Dollar Employee Stops Sword-Wielding Robbers With Gun","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"family-dollar-employee-robbers-swords","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-18 12:35:16","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-18 16:35:16","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2019\/03\/26\/family-dollar-employee-robbers-swords\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":94396,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2019-03-18 08:00:31","post_date_gmt":"2019-03-18 12:00:31","post_content":"A masked man reportedly walked into a Little Caesars pizza store March 7 around 9 p.m., pulled a gun and demanded money from the register. Employees handed it over, and the man took off. However, he didn't make it far.\n\n[in_content post=\"114575\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\nAccording to the Albuquerque Journal, a Little Caesars employee still had on his apron when he pursued the suspect with a gun of his own. He fired several shots, hitting the suspect once. However, the suspect made it to a car driven by an unidentified man who drove it away. The driver dropped the suspect at an inexpensive motel chain near the interstate.\n\nPolice identified the suspect as 27-year-old\u00a0Justin Brewer.\u00a0They transported Brewer to the hospital for treatment before booking him into the\u00a0Metropolitan Detention Center. Brewer denies he is the robber, and claims someone shot him at a gas station near the motel.\n\nOfficers have not identified the employee, nor has the company issued a statement about the incident. No one has stated whether the employee will be charged. However, the Albuquerque Journal claims that one detective wrote,\u00a0\u201cHe was scared for his life and didn\u2019t want (Brewer) to try and hurt someone as he ran away,\u201d in the report.\n\nWhoever he was, the suspect ran out of the pizza store with $9, but ended up dropping the money in the parking lot during the getaway.\n
