Meh, guns aren't good or bad. They're inanimate objects. They're a lot like those mythical "Weapons of Mass Destruction" that way, except the guns have killed a whole lot more people in the hands of the wrong folks.

A gun, like a politician or a pen, can be used for good or evil. And as with those examples, it's often a matter of perspective as to what's good and what's evil.

Unless the gun came with a force-field, and some sort of auto-aiming... (if so, I would like to know where I can get one of those!)

The auto-aiming is notoriously unreliable. You're just as likely to blow yourself or your allies away as you are anyone who poses a threat to you.

Sometimes I think the AI is having a laugh at us. >_>

Yeah she's okay, she gave the guy the money and he took off, she not stupid enough to get shot, not when she has a lil'un to take take care off, and not when her fam was in the store as well. Apparently happened a few days ago, but they just released the tapes to public. They already have a lead, personally i hope they catch the bastard, then let her near him. Knowing her, she'd kick his ass, just how she can be, don't fuck with her ya know? Her philiosopy is, "Karama's a bitch ;)" like i said, i hope they get the guy, then let her dispense some justice on his ass.

Glad your friend is fine, glad she can help in getting the guy caught etc. Because if he doesn't get caught then he'll very likely do it to someone else, possibly with worse results. And nope, not making any excuses for him, sounds like a typical store robber to me, lookin for cash, nothing special or new there and he needs to be penalized for his poor behavior.
