I like the way this Ohio prosecutor thinks.

".....As I have said before and I want to be very clear, if you take a gun into a store in order to rob it, you have forfeited your right not to be shot." Cicncinatti,Oh area Prosecutor Joe Deters.
BTW - Ohio has a tort law such that if a person is injured or killed during a felony or an act that would have resulted in a felony conviction if they had lived, NO ONE can sue the person or business that was responsible for the damage/death. That law was passed and signed without any pro-gun people even noticing it until after the fact.

Granted,it's not "Stand Your Ground" (Ohio gun owners are still trying to get that) but it sure takes the worry out of being sued into the poor house after a good shoot.
Yes, the reporter did print "revolver".Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announced Thursday afternoon that the July 29 shooting of Anton Kirby by a convenience store clerk was "justified."
Jeremy Donohue, who struck the 18-year-old with four shots from a .380 revolver, will not face charges, Deter said.
Kirby, 18, entered Harrison Food Mart just after 11 p.m. on July 29 wearing blue latex gloves and wielding a handgun, according to official documents. He demanded that Donohue empty the cash register and Donohue complied, according to the prosecutor's office.
Kirby then ordered Donohue to the manager's office to empty the safe, which Donohue was not able to do. After Kirby led Donohue back to the counter, the clerk retrieved his handgun from his waistband and fired, Deters said. Donohue is a concealed carry permit holder in Hamilton County.
Kirby later died as a result of the shooting on Aug. 1.
