Any attempt to stop an armed robbery in progress usually results in a shoot out. In this case, the robbers have the upper hand through the element of surprise. The cashier and "cowboy" are at an extreme disadvantage. The question is this, is the money in the cash register worth getting an innocent shot and possibly killed. My opinion is no.

Now, if one of the robbers started shooting first, then there is no question the "cowboy" should defend himself and drawn and shoot if he were armed.
