Even though it was only $28.00 worth of gas, I'll bet those guys now wish they had paid for it.

Bet Cooper wishes he'd stayed put.  Firing those bullets is going to be a most expensive expenditure.

What a dummy. Cooper, that is.

Stupid all around.

Every place around here is "Pay then Pump" or use a credit card.

Firing those bullets is going to be a most expensive expenditure.

Expensive? Won't that be the least of his worries? What is the typical jail time for assault and battery with intent to kill? Plus if convicted he will lose the right to own any firearm for a long time, will he not? And anyone who owns a .45 has got to be a real gun nut (in the good sense!).

Yep. While I am all for tarping over every prison in the country and throwing in a few canisters of gas at random intervals the law is going to come down on you HARD for firing a gun in a situation such as this.
Where the hell did he think any missed shots were going to go? If one of those shots went through MY house I wouldn't give a damn who or why he was firing but he would have worse problems than those thieves.
