Beretta FP1200, semiautomatic 10G 2-3/4” with 7 round mag and one in the pipe. Makes one a door in any wall short of a grouted cinderblock elevator shaft.

Loaded with 00, it is a suicide machine if you are on the wrong end. I have not even seen the pig for a year; locked up in a cellar with a hundred slugs and more 00’s.

Closest thing to a Binelli for under a grand.

Yes, unless you have the Specter Special Magic Bullet.

J/K, BTW.

Impressive use of available firepower. I’m quite impressed. I hope he makes a swift and complete recovery.

As heart-warming as a Dickens tale.

Maybe there was a securiy camera. That would be something to see.

Yep. It sure seemed appropriate, with those three empty hulls hanging in the air.

That firearm is at the top of my 2011 shopping list. I think it's an ideal choice to begin replacing all the stuff lost in the TBA (tragic boating accident).

Checked out google maps, how did they fit a shotgun in that store?

Police: Store owner kills three suspects

Wouldn't they be "former suspects," since they can no longer be tried for the crime?

Is that a .410 Saiga?

Judging from the flying empties, I think it’s a 12-gauge. The proportions of those hulls are all wrong for .410 bore.

An East End jewelry store owner shot and killed three robbers during a gunbattle Thursday afternoon after the robbers tried to hold up his shop and tie up the man and his wife, Houston police said.

Police are looking for a fourth person who may have been involved in the robbery at Castillo's Jewelry, at 4502 Canal near Eastwood.

The 52-year-old store owner, Ramon Castillo, was shot in the stomach and underwent surgery at Ben Taub General Hospital. He is in critical condition, but is expected to survive. His wife, Eva, 48, was unharmed. end snip
