“I didn’t know if they had guns,” she said. “I didn’t know if they were going to their vehicle to get another one and could come back and try to get to the safe, so my instinct was to go to my car and get the gun.” She retrieved her 9mm from her car.
The Waffle House waitress then fired a shot into the woods (over their heads) according to Channel 2 Action News. She told reporters she was only trying to protect the store and her co-workers. As of this report, the waitress has been fired.
A Waffle House spokesperson told Channel 2 they are aware of the situation but cannot comment on personnel matters. |

I forget, was her disabled husband inside the restaurant at the time?
If her husband wasn't there, and she got to her car, then all she had to do was drive away and wait for the flashing blue lights to arrive. Even if the robbers came back it would be a case of not her problem. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
