As others have said your op would be a really really bad idea. I carry two .40's and my gf carries a .380, I am not even happy with her carryig something as small as a .380.

You need to check you state laws on weapons before carrying a pellet pistol on you or in your vehicle, most state a pellet gun will be considered a weapon and could be illegal to carry.

You said there were three, and it was winter and they were all bundled up...I still wouldn't pull that stunt if it was only one and he was a nudist robbing a joint. It would be like trying to discourage a bull by shooting him with a marshmallow out of a slingshot. In a situation like that, IMO you would only escalate the situation and perhaps cause loss of life that might otherwise not have happened. If I were a customer in the store and someone did that I'd be upset with the ill-equipped "hero".

Even crazier things can happen when they're on angel dust.
Used to be an NYC shooting from the 60s used in training, a guy took 36 hits (yes 36) from the old lead round nose 38 special revolvers. He finally went down to a 12 ga slug in the neck. No drugs were found in his system.

American made westerns have pretty much always used real guns loaded w/a "universal" blank that fits several 44 & 45 calibers. Some have had filled barrels for safety but not all.

I was 5ft from a guy with a lock blade, and he pulled out a 22 and when I saw it, I had had enough. I likely could have closed with him before he shot me, But just seeing it was enough for me. I took off and got it in the cheeks on the tail bone.. It was a starter pistol drilled out and shooting 22 shorts.

If I put a pellet from a gas powered Crosman 9 shot revolver into somebodies head, Id think that would hurt his thinking. I rather get the idea that you have not been shot by the pistol im talking about. I havnt either. Like it sounds to me, you might know something of being shot with a pellet or BB outa hand cocked, no gas BB pistol. I have, As was said, It stings, AND if I had to face a doz or so of even those, you could have it. Id pass, no matter what kind of gun I held..

A BB pistol you have to manually cock for each shot.. A Gas operated pistol has alot more power, and goes as fast as you can pull the trigger. With 2 guns at 9 ea, IF it had power to hurt bad, I wouldnt worry about not killing or wounding them too much.

Heck, I wouldnt try to take on somebody with a paint ball gun, if he got the first shot in and it hit me in the chest at 20ft, Ive been hit at 50ft, and that was all I wanted, and I had a gun also. No protection. I got circled and got hit 3 times before the 3 realized another had got me. That was the first and last time I played paint ball. Still got the gun, but its too big to try to hide,
Interesting way of looking at things. I think we can anticipate your imminent removal from the gene pool.

IF you had a cell phone the best option without a real gun would be to not only call 911 but to give a description of every vehicle you see in the area while laying down in your seat and locking all your doors immediately..let the 911 know the description of you and your vehicle as well..

if you have a real gun then fine ..stand your ground but don't do something that could injure someone else, like the storekeeper..

I imagine you would just ---- him off and the robbers would wheel around and shoot you dead.

Magine thats why people who wore coats in the old days, wore long ones.

NAH, I stopped into a QT around 12 15, and got the thought last night after leaving lounge to go home.

I think id be less eager to get involved with them. Sometimes they dont fire. Sometimes they fire too much
Do you have Open Carry where you live? I use to carry a cut off 12Ga. all the time,just carried it where everyone knew I had it.Never had a problem and was Legal.

Same with Pistols.

Just a quick look at oklahoma carry laws looks like only air soft with the orange ends intact are exempt from the permit.

I rather wonder, IF, a few of you, by poking fun at me, for my posting this, somehow think that, By reading the ridicule im getting, You would never try anything speculative yourself in a like situation with WHATEVER type of gun you might have on/in hand.
AND, thats likely a smart move/

Me, Im proactive, and would hate to think a lifetime of preparing myself for the eventuality of this happening in my life, I would miss it by trying to hide behind the stool a guy was setting on in the bathroom while the robbery took place lol.

I think you'd have better luck if you tossed a box of twinkies past him. At least he would be looking at it for the monetary value for selling it on ebay and it might give you a moment to escape
