Pharmacist is a hero.

I agree.

on a bigger picture: this could have gone wrong in so many ways too...

Yet another advantage of working at an indy, he won't be terminated for it. Thankfully he stopped after the threat was neutralized (and didn't go back to grab a different gun afterward).

I thought Ersland shouldn't have gotten life in prison. Maybe a couple of years. He didn't ask to be put in that situation.

I agree. Ersland messed up in the heat of the moment, but I wouldn't call it premeditated. Real premeditated murderers have got less than life imprisonment, that seems like a very harsh penalty for someone who was just trying to protect human life.

This guy is a hero. It's too bad our healthcare and prison system have to pay to rehab this scumbag. Waste of money.

For those interested on the gun he used... the judge shoots either a 410 shotgun shell or .45 colt. So depending on what round he was using this guy is probably lucky to be alive, being shot in the chest.

Oh, and of course you don't rob an indy in WY, you know they are packing.
