This just happened in Reading Pa. A man entered a corner grocery store ( where a few years ago two would be armed robbers were shot dead by a concerned citizen neighbor who witnessed the robbery. He was not charged) and complained about being hungry. The clerks gave him some food in the hopes of getting rid of him since he was just hanging around. He left in a car with two other males but returned shortly armed with a loaded 9MM pistol and demanded money. One of the clerks wielded a pricing gun( that prints labels) and made pretend it was a handgun and the robber became frightened and backed towards the door. Someone then through a brick through the front window, further panicking the robber who put his handgun on a store shelf and ran towards the back of the store. Realizing the was now unarmed, the two clerks tackled the robber and held him until police arrived.
I have heard that the robber was not right in the head although using a loaded handgun in a crime makes it extremely hard to feel sorry for him.
As a result of this, legislation will be passed forcing redesign of the "pricing gun" so as not to alarm anyone seeing it, or so that police responding to a crime do not mistake it for a firearm. An over-ambitious clerk might still be doing mark-downs at the crime scene.

Have you ever seen a price gun!? The guy would have to have some sort of mental issue to mistake a price gun for a real one.
