“It is kind of like the whole redneck saying, ‘you just can’t fix stupid,’” David Pritchard said.

Pritchard says he saw stupid first hand early Sunday around 7 a.m. That’s when three men tried to break into his gun shop, Bull Shooter’s Supply on Bayside Road.Jason Marks reports on attempted robbery at EC gun shop2

“I have no idea how they intended to get inside,” Pritchard said.

A neighbor who lives just down the street from the gun shop noticed the suspect’s car. He then saw three men dressed in all black get out and head toward the shop. The neighbor made two calls. One to Pritchard and the other to 911.

The suspects crossed a cornfield before getting to Bull Shooter’s. What they didn’t know was the owner lived in the house right next door and he had a shotgun right next to his bed. Pritchard said when he went to confront the men, they started to run back towards the car. He hollered for them to stop. He told 10 On Your Side one of the men pulled out a gun and fired at him, so he fired back.

He fired a "warning shot". Not my choice, but it worked.

“One of the deputies had joked that maybe they didn’t set their clock ahead the night before and they thought it was still dark.”

Now that is VERY likely, given the criminal’s behavior/stupidity.

I saw another news story from the State of Kansas, looks like stripes are back in vogue for prisoners’ uniforms. I use to only see those in movies.

My local Obama Propaganda Orifice never publishes information like this, therefore it can’t have happened. I think one of the few times they reported a home shooting was when an old white man shot a young black woman whose car had broken down and she was looking for assistance. Fact is I don’t think they have ever published an article where any Whites or any Blacks had legitimately used a gun for self or family protection. Apparently the Hearst Organization knows guns are never used for self defense and therefore all such reports must be false and unreportable.
Andrew Cuomo, who the paper really likes, is under the impression that gun owners only use their guns for hunting and a hunter does not need anything larger than a “seven round magazine”...... I think he was talking about the Hearst magazines with pictures.
