MIAMI, Fla. [WFLA] — A Florida man is behind bars after he tried to rob a Publix in Miami with a stapler.
Patrick Abbott, 31, entered the Publix on Biscayne Boulevard, gave an employee a note stating he had a gun, and told her to put money in a bag.
After the employee read the note, she pretended to help one of her co-workers and called for help, according to NBC affiliate WFLA.
Abbott left Publix empty-handed and was caught by Miami Police while throwing the note away.
The gun he claimed to have turned out to be a black stapler, according to police.
He’s facing charges of armed robbery.

I think that might be illegal in NY because it holds more than 10 staples.

The problem isn’t that he robbed a Publix.
The problem is he DIDN’T rob a Publix.

Nobody diss Publix, please. Their store brand milk chocolate almond ice cream is the greatest. Or at least it was when I lived in Florida in 1986/87.

Yes. For every military measure there is a countermeasure.

"And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire."

at least the president is now set. I will be taking a few staplers to the next gun buybacks.
I might even take a semi automatic 3 hole punch.

So....has Biden called for “magazine” limitations on staplers yet?
Has he demanded single shot office staplers?

Sounds about as effective as Ukraine’s offensives against Russia.
