Nearly $10,000 has been raised as of Tuesday night for a mother of three who lost her job at an Albuquerque, N.M., gas station after shooting an armed robbery suspect.
Jennifer Wertz said the suspect pointed a gun at her at a Circle K gas station last week, forcing her to defend herself.
“I grabbed my gun from my pocket, I cocked it, and I shot,” Wertz said, according to FOX6. "I'm sick and tired of being a sitting duck."
Wertz said she had the gun with her at work out of fear of being robbed while on duty. She said her employer hadn't been doing enough to ensure her safety.
"Robberies have been going on like this for the past few weeks. They have done nothing to protect me. And I felt the need to protect myself,” Wertz told the television station.

Absolutely not. We should not encourage employees to sue their employers. Poisoning that relationship benefits lawyers, nobody else. If an employee does not like the conditions of employment, find a different employer.
But the only reason employers are against employee self-defense is the fear of the lawyers.
