Barista successfully defends herself with a concealed handgun:

A teen trying to rob an espresso stand in northern Idaho met his match in a gun toting barista.

Police say the 17-year-old confronted Sunshine Espresso owner Michelle Cornelson with a gun Wednesday morning, demanding all her money.

Cornelson has been hunting since she was a girl and says she remained calm as a customer pulled up to the other side of her kiosk in Coeur d’Alene, distracting the teen.

Cornelson quickly whipped out her 9 mm Kel-Tec pistol, which was a Christmas present from her husband. That scared off the teen so Cornelson could call police.

A sheriff’s deputy was nearby after picking up a beverage at the stand and caught the suspect. The teen was later taken to a juvenile detention center.

It is nice to see that having a concealed weapon on a person was a deterrant to becoming a victim. Things in this case turned out for the better, but if the kid had been any type of real punk it could have turned out different. It was nice to see that this young lady was able to keep her calm during the situation. I have found that some concealed weapons permit holder realing do not know how to handle themselved, let alone a gun.

Again glad things turned out well.
