Funny little story that happened in my town that I have to share.

http://www.katu.com/news/local/Guy-brings-a-baseball-bat-to-rob-a-gun-store-fails-miserably-217054401.html

BEAVERTON, Ore. - You've heard the old saying 'don't bring a knife to a gun fight.'

Well how about a bat? Apparently, that doesn't work too well either - just ask 22-year-old Derrick Mosley.

Sheriff's deputies say Mosley walked into Discount Gun Sales on Southwest Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway around 4 p.m. Thursday with a bat in hand and smashed a display case.

But they say when Mosley tried to steal a gun, the store manager simply pulled out his own personal firearm and pointed it straight at the would-be-robber. The manager then yelled some orders at the guy and got him to drop the baseball bat, the gun he had tried to take and a nine-inch long knife he had on him.

When sheriff's deputies arrived, they found Mosley on the floor being held at gunpoint by the manager.  They handcuffed Mosley on the spot and took him into custody on charges of first-degree robbery, first-degree theft, unlawful possession of a firearm and second-degree criminal mischief. Bail was set at $250,000.

I don't think this guy had ever been into a gun store in his life!  Every gun store I've been the everyone that works there is openly carrying.  There's no question at all that the people who work there have firearms.

That reminds me of that priceless scene in Andrew Davis' Code Of Silence where these two mamparas (South African slang for idiot) try and rob a bar, only to find out that all the customers are cops.

If it was in New Jersey, the criminal would have gotten off on a free or reduced sentence, and the owner most likely would have web to jail for defending his store...politicians in New Jersey have a problem with people using firearms for self defense (unless it's them...)

New Jersey is getting rotted day by day.
I remember in the early 80's you could take a bus to downtown, shop and have lunch...

LOL yeah, that's history now. Downtown looks like a prison movie.

Well hell, Thats just damn silly of that kid.  I'm not really pro-gun (or anti-gun for that matter) but a gun store MIGHThave a few lying around for the owner to pick up.

If you're dumb enough that Barney Fife could get you then give up crime!
