Wow..lots of really really good points. First off i think that you should be aware of your surroundings (situational awareness...as Fredj338 said). Now if seeing them in parking lots moments from the door would have changed anything...i don't know. You see 3 of them..you see a mask...you think...:shock:"
Oh Crap"..then you see your family and strangers ((no tunnel vision)) you have
milliseconds to decide:
1.

Act..may take one or two of them quick..but fire fight and lots
of strays from them could hit anyone.
2. 
Don't act..just be compliant and pray they don't notice your
gun..because then you will be either disarmed or shot because
they think your a cop.
3. 
Freeze up..and contemplate if you have clean underwear on and
if you want regular or buttermilk waffles...i vote buttermilk

)
I think (considering
hindsight) i would recognize that there are too many variables, too many liabilities, and yell call the cops or begin calling myself (*only if you seen them before they entered- -granted i don't know if yelling anything would have helped or hurt..lol), be compliant and come off as scared and weak But watching them..taking mental notes, if they reached for my gun..or made ANY indication of seeing it..i have no choice but to Act(remember they may think ur a cop and kill you...if ur lucky they will only disarm you..but which is a higher probablilty??) Granted i am aware that this would suck sooooo bad! In my humble opinion..i would be complinate and hope and pray they dont notice my gun. Either way i don't think that starting a fire fight intially would be a great idea NOR when they are leaving..because after all its over..they are leaving there is no threat to life.
It is our duty to be vigilant and aware..to make ready for any situation, to train, to be mindful. What's the old saying..something like prepare for war but pray for peace.
I would love to hear any advice or counter arguments or suggestions...i think this is a wonderful discussion and this is the time and place to discuss such a traumatic event that develops in seconds...after all it is here that we have the luxury of time and no immediate threat.
side note: ((funny
to me))


1. The guy sitting at the bar trying to "squeeze" by one of the bad guys.
...saying "excuse me..gotta go"...lmao
2. The girl in the bathroom who had to take a dble take..then went back
in..nothing clears constipation like seeing a robbery first hand...lmao
3. In the second part of the footage from another camera angle, the guy in
red shirt on other side of door that ways sweeping or something..when
he notices a bad guy behind the counter, he takes a dble take..the
disappears...lmao
