The idea comes after Jamil Bader Junior was killed during an attempted robbery at his family's store in /*Newark*/ on Thursday.
Bodega Association Spokesman Fernando Mateo met with Newark Mayor /*Cory Booker*/ Sunday about the proposal.
Mateo also said that bodega owners should be encouraged to own firearms.
Members of Bader's family joined Mateo at the meeting at Newark City Hall.
The mayor did not make any public comments.
