Redrant: I grew up next door to Robert Reyer, the owner of Reyer Pharmacy in St. Paul, MN. He was a World War II fighter pilot who had to bail out at least twice over the English Channel.
The pharmacy was located in a relatively remote area of St. Paul, Selby at Fairview. Even in the mid 1960's Minnesota's high welfare benefits and lack of residency requirements made Minnesota a "welfare magnet". Starting in the mid 1960's his drug store was frequently robbed. Bob would pull his gun and detain or if they did not comply shoot back. As I recall he killed at least two and hit a few others.
He sent many a robber to prison and became a local "Dirty Harry" of sorts. He was never charged with any crime any never had a civil lawsuit against him. He finally closed the place and worked for a different pharmacy because of insurance costs. Greg Lang
