That being said, your business is considered your home, and Castle doctrine applies. Someone attempts to rob your place of business, you are in your right to shoot.
Someone walks into your restaurant. They walk to the counter, grab a fistfull of dollars out of the open cash register, and make a run for the door.
If you shoot and kill him, you will be found guilty of murder. Why? Because the robber wasn't posing a physical threat to you. You can only legally shoot someone if your life is threatened.
And yes, this does happen in our justice system.
over petty change, maybe. But if an armed intruder walks into your restaurant, you are in the clear to use lethal force.
The target has to be an active threat. If their intention is to hold the place up, then they are a threat. If they intend to forcefully steal from the register, then they are a threat.
It's up to the owner or the manager on duty to use discretion as to when to apply lethal force.
