I live right next door to Camden (c-wood, NJ). I'm gonna drive by there tomorrow and report (not today, sorry, there's still some champagne left).

I'll be interested to know! Maybe each of the owners runs a separate section. I remember a piano and knife store in a shopping center near my parents' house, years ago.

I remember a piano and knife store Yep. I can recall an auto parts store that had some extra space - the owner put in some clothing racks. Auto parts and clothing. Can't make this stuff up. Went under.

"When the robber refused, the owner fired one shot, striking the assailant in the head, authorities said." Frontier justice is so effecient.

So I drove into Camden ("The most dangerous city in America") and went past the store - yep, Wireless & Fishing Supplies it was. There were signs for phone companies like Nextel, and it said Fishing Supplies right on the sign. Kind of located on a main street near other stores, not a terribly run-down part of town (other areas much worse).
Might stop by some day to add a few minutes onto my verizon phone, and get some bait.

Thanks for the scouting mission ... My mind's at rest now :-).

Even if no charges are filed, the death is considered a homicide. Included in the 54 in 2004 were four people killed by police officers. I am not suprised at the inaccuracy of the headline, considering the source, since the Inquirer like all Philly papers, politicians, and conditioned groupthink is totally anti self defense. I happen to live just outside the darn city, and am waiting for Mayor Street (a part of the $95K unpaid gas bill fame from a failed diner deal, as well as part of the Uptown Theater debacle) to begin putting up the "Philadelphia Wall" complete with "Checkpoint Street" etc.
Actually, the correct term would be "Justifiable Homicide", or better yet " Self Defense". I do like the head shot, neat, clean, and final. No trial needed, and one less scumbag on the street. This is the way things should always work out! WELL DONE to the store owner...
