Shocking Security Footage Reveals Brave Store Owner Talking Gunman Into Peacefully Leaving Premises
Oct. 6 2022, Published 2:43 p.m. ET
A security camera at a convenience store in Pensacola, Flor., caught a shocking moment on film after a man walked in carrying a Benelli shotgun.
In a recap obtained by OK! from the REELZ police ride-along series On Patrol: Live, the owner can be seen quickly disappearing into a back room just before the shotgun-wielding customer enters the shop.
The gunman, wearing a white t-shirt, black pants and a black knit cap, casually wanders into the store and looks around for a few moments before the store owner reappears offscreen with his own weapon in hand, seemingly pointed directly at the potential shopper.
The owner can be heard telling him several times to "put it back" referring to him having the shotgun in the store. The other man replies, "I see you, bro," before adding, "I don't mean no harm, I'm just not from around here."

"What you got in your hand, bro?" the owner asks him, to which the man replies, "I got a big a**, motherf***ing gun."
He reiterates that he is only carrying the weapon because he is not from the area. He claims to be from Chicago and states that he doesn't know what the Pensacola area is like.
The owner calmly says that the man did not have to bring the weapon inside the store and then asks him to leave.
Soon after, the gun-wielding patron exits the shop with no harm done by either party.
