A gun store. Sheesh. Find another line of work. You flunked burglary, bigly.
Have they decided to prosecute the store owner yet?
It was a toss up between robbing a gun store or a Hell’s Angel’s hideout
Biden will likely make a speech any moment now on the dangers of guns, informing us that the owner should have just retreated
Actually, it went exactly as I would hope.
There's a better chance they'll find your body if you rob a gun store.
Creating an attractive nuisance.
Yep. Two places you rarely hear about getting robbed, or attempted to be robbed anyway...gun stores and pawn shops.
Why? Because both are authorized to allow employees to open carry. In my state that’s true at least.
Open carry is a deterent?....WHO KNEW???
Once upon a time that would have gotten a huge chuckle by everyone. Sadly, now it is our new reality.

Another feel good story when we can use all we can get.
I'm wondering how the perp is charged with murder when the shopkeeper is the one who fired shots? No way am I defending him, but I guess I just don't understand...??
Teens.
It’s the felony murder rule:
When committing a felony, if someone dies-perps can be charged with murder-see one definition below:
Felony-Murder Rule legal definition of Felony-Murder Rule
Search domain legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Felony-Murder+Rulehttps://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Felony-Murder+Rule
Felony-Murder Rule A Rule of Law that holds that if a killing occurs during the commission or attempted commission of a felony (a major crime), the person or persons responsible for the felony can be charged with murder. Generally an intent to kill is not necessary for felony-murder.
Thank you. I did find this in the meantime, as well.

I would think that law is not routinely prosecuted, or it would be fairly common in the gang-related homicides.
So much to learn here at FR. Thanks again.
I think it’s discretionary and perhaps that the prosecutors like to do this in order to get an acceptance to plead at a lesser charge.
Of course I learned about it by watching Law & Order.🤣
I’ve been to that store a few times, but not since moving to TN four years ago. It is in the same building as Galesburg Electric supply. That is probably considered the tougher part of town, poorer residential to the north, industrial park to the south.
While trying to keep my farming career alive, post Jimmah Cawtuh, I wrenched on planes at their airport, and later was a steel fabricator at a food proccessing equipment manufacturer; both located just west of town.
