Always know the difference between cover and concealment.

A concrete planter is cover, a cardboard cutout of
Obama is concealment.

Parris Island taught me that.

This clerk could have shot the perp right through the
counter and vice versa.

Yep. I was a zoomie, and I was clear on the difference. Cover stops rockets from hitting my position. Concealment keeps the other pilot from seeing me.

You may be right. We do not know what the counter was made of, or what was behind it. Handgun cartridges penetrate considerable sheet rock, but many will be stopped by a couple of 2x4s.
