In Marionville, Missouri, Jon Lewis Alexander, a 54-year-old military veteran, turned the tables on a would-be robber. When the man entered the liquor store where Alexander worked, puffing a cigarette, Alexander reminded him of the no-smoking rule. Unfazed, the thug demanded money, raising his pistol. Alexander’s military training kicked in; he swiftly covered the gun, drew his own pistol, and aimed it at the assailant. Threatening to shoot, Alexander compelled the robber to retreat. His extensive military background, including four tours in Iraq, contributed to his calm response. The store owner, Jeannine Dawson, expressed astonishment at Alexander’s quick and composed reaction, emphasizing how his past experiences saved lives in the tense situation.
