Jon Lewis Alexander, Store Clerk And Veteran, Prevents Robbery
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by MerryBlooms (a host of the General Discussion forum).
MARIONVILLE, MO (SPRINGFIELD NEWS LEADER) -- The guy with a gun picked the wrong clerk.
How wrong?
A veteran of four tours in Iraq. A 30-year military man. A former prison guard, private investigator, professional extraditor of federal prisoners and - perhaps most important on this particular Sunday night - a proud owner of a Walther PPX 9 mm handgun.
Loaded, with one in the chamber, like he always carries it.

Crime stopped, no one hurt; sadly the criminal has not been apprehended.
