We once again see what kind of idiotic morons are stupid enough to rob a gun store. I guess when they cased it out they didn’t notice there were armed people on the premises.
It looks to me like they “cased it” when they went in, then made their plan in the middle of the store as they whispered to each other.
Exactly. I mean, what was the plan here, how did they see this turning out?
Of the two local firearms shops I tend to gravitate to I can't conceive of anyone stupid enough to try anything at them. In one, literally every employee is carrying. I haven't asked, but I think it may be a condition of employment. It is a big shop, probably 10 people working/armed in there any time I've been in there. The other place, well, the guy is a class 3 dealer. There are loaded machine guns on the premises (up to and including several M2s) and the owner loves to practice with them. Given his remote/rural location and clear fields of fire it is a sure bet that if you start something there, you'd never make it off his property in anything less than a Bradley.
This duce of morons are now runners up for a Darwin Award.
There are some gun stores in the area that don't have armed employees or allow customers to carry - doesn't make a bit of sense to me. If one were to walk into a store and see weapons on the hips of most folks in it, they wouild not be so prone to attempt a robbery.
