Good shooting citizen! Civilization thanks you! Now get some more range time and buy a .45 ACP!

This story isn't nearly as a good ending as 2003 when a star-football player in Central Arkansas robbed "Bubba's bait, bullets, and beer".

Ole Bubba plugged the kid as he walked in to rob the place. DRT with a .45 ACP hole in his chest.

I concur on the “good shooting” but what is a .45 ACP?

Actually the .357 has a better 'one shot stop' rating than the venerable .45. I'll chalk this one up to shot placement.

And I'll not fault the store owner in the least. He did well under very stressful circumstances.

Make sure to use hydra-shock or corbon or some other hollow-point next time.

Please look carefully at picture above. Look at suspects feet. Notice his pants and underwear around his ankles. Note blood in underwear. Notice suspects face? Looks like cockshot to me... .Tough guys never think about their d!ck getting blown off by a 357 before they walk in. Oh well, took care of the pro creation problem.

Police were called to Joe's Grocery Store at 12223 Colonel Glenn Road just before 10 a.m.

Called a little too soon IMHO.

.357 beats a .45 any day for range.

I’ve owned several of both.

.357 6” barrel is good for a 50 yard shots all day long. You can’t say that with a .45. You’d have to aim a foot high.

As somebody who owns and shoots both a .357 Magnum and a .45 Semi-auto, I can tell you the .357 is plenty of gun. You will seriously notice being hit by a .357 round.

***Colonel Glenn Road ***

We used to go swimming at LAKE NIXON on CG Road! Anyone remember the radio advertisements...”ATTENTION, LAKE NIXON!”

It was not “segregated” but you did have to have a membership (50 cents). When people of color showed up they were suddenly out of memberships.

The store owner Yousef Alley, 59, was shaken up but uninjured. To his loyal customers he’s just “Joe”. Alley has been running his grocery store at that location for the last 35 years.

And don’t forget, if the robber with the bullet hole in his chest dies, the other one will be charged with homicide in the commission of a felony, and could get the death penalty.

Hell man....a .357 puts a pretty good hole.

If the shop owner had hit them in a better place...they would both be dead.

A pair of would-be robbers are in the hospital following an attempted armed robbery

That's terrible. Just terrible.

They should both be in the morgue.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
