Jackson Store Clerk Shoots Man Attempting Robbery

A man attempting to rob a Jackson store clerk gets more than he bargained for when the would-be victim decides to fight back. 

James Nichols was closing up for the day when the incident happened at the All American Check Exchange on Suncrest Drive in south Jackson.

Nichols says an armed man wearing a hood confronted him as was about to get into his truck to head home around 6:30 Friday night.

But Nichols was prepared to protect himself.

I read this story just after I got home from the range today, and it makes me feel EVEN BETTER about the time I spent shooting.

I see no problem with what the clerk did. He has the right to protect himself.

Having been the victim of an armed robbery before I can honestly say that I understand.
