Should Shop Owners Be Armed?

Shop Owners.
Ordinary people selling goods to people.
The basic foods of life for example, milk, bread.
Some consumers take them for granted.
Some even go further.
Shop Owners are fearing for their own live.
Some are even scared of coming to work because the might be murdered, raped etc...
The question is, "Should Shop Owners be armed with weapons to protect themselves?"
The death of a 30 year old man has mad me furious of hopeless, stupid people just coming into a shop the shop owner begging for his life giving them everything they wanted and just getting shot dead.
For god's sakes we have to live with these people. By the end of this crime people will move away out of their homes cause of this.
His children are asking. "Where's my dad? Where's my dad?"
They don't even know he's dead.
We live in a country.
Unfourtunatly it has to be recked by a handful of scumbags!!!
That man shouldn't of died.
It's not only his family but us.
We have to look after ourselves.
