And what happens if you check the receipt on the body and find out that the item wasn't stolen? How many years do you face for murdering a customer?

I can point to where firearms have stopped shoplifting crimes.

Can you point to where your scenario has happened?

Because I’m all for hypotheticals, so long as we admit the rarity and precedent before saying there is a problem.

Difficulty: It would take maybe, shall we say, ten thousand of your "firearms stopping shoplifting" cases to offset even ONE "innocent person getting shot" case.

Yes. This is exactly what was talking about in my previous post asking for examples to determine how hyperbolic the response was.
