Nothing seemed out of the ordinary inside a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant when a man approached the counter and placed an order. But then he demanded of the cashier, "Give me the money before I shoot you." Initially, Paul Sherlock joined the other customers as they bolted for the door. But then he stopped out of concern for the cashier. He recalled a June 2005 incident in which a carjacker shot at him. That was also the day he decided to buy a gun and apply for a carry permit. Police say Sherlock faced the suspect then pulled out his 9mm pistol. The suspect put his hands in the air and Sherlock ordered him to lean against a window. Police apprehended the man without incident. The accused's "gun" turned out to be a screwdriver.
