On July 7 two men allegedly tried to break into a machine gun store and did not realize the owner was inside until it was too late.
According to ABC 13, the two suspects allegedly tried to rob Class 3 Weapons around 1:45 am. The Houston Police Department (HPD) said the owner opened fire on the men with a shotgun, killing one and sending the second suspect fleeing.
HPD said the suspects had no idea the store owner was present when they allegedly began trying to enter the store.

He used a shotgun. The “machine gun” in the headline was bait-and-switch.

Shame he didn’t have one of the “machine guns” loaded. He could’ve got both of ‘em.

But, the shop’s name is “Class 3.” Those were probably elsewhere overnight or locked up very securely.

I didn’t read the whole article. Was it really an automatic weapons store?
I figured it was the media showing their ignorance about weapons again.

Didn’t want to have the shop closed for rebuilding for a month or so.

“Class 3 Weapons sells guns covered by the National Firearms Act. These include fully automatic weapons (machine gun), short barreled rifles, shotguns, and silencers”

Class 3 means he absolutely did have full-auto weapons inside.
I think he chose the shotgun in order to limit liability from overpenetration, misses, etc.

“Shame he didnt have one of the machine guns loaded. He couldve got both of em.”
At close range a shotgun is probably as or more lethal than a machine gun and does less damage to things across the street. A 12 gauge blast to the abdomen at close range is probably not really a survivable wound

Not necessarily. Many class 3 FFLs only sell suppressors.

Could be their rap sheets implied that they were "good boys, aspiring rappers, turning their lives around" after just one more burglary, as opposed to armed robbery.
You know, like that kid in Ohio that tried to illegally score just one more pair of shoes off the legal, and legally armed, owner, before turning the corner on turning his life around.

could have been a class 3 shotgun. I've always been partial to the Atchenson (sp?) assult 12!
