Since there's no report of gunfire or victim of violence, I'm pretty sure I can determine that if guns were present they offered no violence upon a victim.
Surely you can see that. Come on, John, we were starting to get along and then you do this foolishness?
I'm simply pointing out that a reasonable assumption would be that anyone committing such a burglary would very likely be armed and very likely prepared to use the weapon if confronted. Simply because there was no report of guns or violence doesn't mean it wasn't a distinct possibility. Had the business had night security, we might be talking about someone shot and possibly dead.
The foolishness, from my perspective, is the assumption that legalizing a drug will make those who try to access it illegally less violent or less prone to use guns or force. You just have to look back a couple of years ago with the number of drug store employees and pharmacists who were murdered by desperate people trying to get their hands on Oxycotin.
