He probably thought they were all stoned. Man fatally shot while attempting to rob Covington cannabis store.

Ryan Evans, director of operations of the local chain Euphorium, said the would-be robber accosted an employee in the parking lot of the Covington store, put the employee in a chokehold and held a gun to his head.

“The perpetrator walked the employee up to the store, got in the door and told our ID and security people, ‘This is a robbery,'” Evans said. “My ID checker said, ‘Are you serious?’ and when he was, my ID checker drew his weapon and fired.”

Washington is apparently seeing a rash of robberies of Cannabis stores, but this is level of threat is worse than most.

Self-defense is a human-right, and Washington has a long history of supporting self-defense. (Hat tip to Keep and Bear Arms.)
