A jewelry shop owner in Garden Grove, CA, open fired on five masked men attempting to rob her; at least one of the five thieves was armed.
“Our official recommendation is that business owners should not take the law upon themselves,” said Garden Grove Police Lt. Jeff Nightengale. “It is difficult because when you start shooting guns those rounds can end up anywhere. We would rather have the crime happen and have good witnesses rather than putting someone’s safety in jeopardy.”

ABCNEWS.GO.COM reports:
On Wednesday, five masked men poured into a jewelry store in a strip mall in Garden Grove, Calif., expecting to carry out a simple smash and grab robbery. But within less than a minute, they discovered they were no match for the store’s owner, a gray-haired woman whose finger seems quite comfortable on the trigger.

+11I am a business owner and i would have no problem putting a hot piece of lead into someone who is trying to rob me my best friend
I don't mind being judged by anyone, so long as they aren't complete imbeciles.
Some people have a problem with logic and are averse to making people suffer the consequences of their actions. This is a direct result of morality's deconstruction.
its just the same .. shoot .. idiots dont need a gun to kill .
But all it takes is one little old lady to send them running like the chickens that they are.
The cop says to wait for the cops. Let the crime be committed so they have something to investigate.
Hey now. If a guy is shooting at me, I don't think the cops would get there fast enough. It wouldn't be over jewelery, and it wasn't over jewelry here.
The question had to do with responding to having the gun fired at you. You're not in your house, and the action isn't over jewelry.. IT'S OVER SOMEONE FIRING A GUN AT YOU THIS VERY MINUTE, Your life or life of the crook. Not conjecture. Actual occurrence.
In that case my answer changes radically. :-)
Furthermore, there is no substantive distinction between your home and the jewelry store.
There are people who can be harmed and items with capital value in both places.
