A Coeur d'Alene espresso stand owner who turned the tables on a would-be robber by drawing a pistol on him will receive a crime prevention award from the police department Wednesday evening. Sunshine Espresso owner Michelle Cornelsen will be receiving the Citizen's Crime Watch Prevention Award Wednesday evening at the Coeur d'Alene Police Department. Cornelsen is receiving the award for her efforts to thwart a teen who attempted to rob her espresso stand in late December. The teen showed her a gun but what the 17-year-old didn't know was that Michelle had a concealed carry permit and her husband had bought her a gun for Christmas/Rob Kauder, KXLY. More here.

Question: Did the Sunshine Espresso owner do the right thing by pulling a gun on the would-be robber? Or would it have been better if she simply had given him the money?
