The waitress saved everyone by giving the crooks the $200. She never confronted them with her "personal protection device".
Sounds more like she was just letting off some tension wishing she had the guts to go over to the BP station and confront them.

Although are stories about occasions where an innocent with a weapon saves lives or property, this is not one of them. The newspaper should be faulted for headlining the article as if it were otherwise.
