Police say three employees of a Cleveland Taco Bell opened fire on two armed robbers, killing one.
Police have said two masked robbers entered the restaurant early Wednesday and ordered three employees to lie on the floor. Police say three other employees pulled out handguns and opened fire, shooting one of the suspects six times. The other suspect ran off.
The Cuyahoga (ky-uh-HOH-guh) County Medical Examiners Office on Thursday said the man killed was 24-year-old DeCarlo Jackson.
Investigators say Jackson was found with a loaded gun in his hand. He was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead.
No one has been arrested. The employees who opened fire are said to be two 19-year-old men and a 23-year-old man.
A Taco Bell spokeswoman told Cleveland.com the company is shocked by the shooting and is offering counseling to employees.

Perhaps you need to read his sign again. It seems you missed the point.
It's a bit early in the day to be drinking doncha think?

Who the hell robs a Taco Bell?
They sell a burrito for $1.12. Not much cash flow in that.

I'm not sure. Some swear it is real but certain others say it is photoshop.
Either way it gets the message across.

"...Taco Bell should offer more time at the range. " And perhaps a nice stipend for replacing spent ammo? LOL! Great story.

Perhaps you need to read his sign again. It seems you missed the point. I'm pretty sure I got it right. I said
Why should any mother fear for her sons life because he works in a store and is forced by the government to be unarmed?
Meaning: If I work in a state that forbids concealed carry, my mother would worry about me working in a liquor store because it is a magnet for armed robbery and I am defenseless.
The man in the picture is advocating for gun control so that the mothers of armed robbers dont have to worry for the lives of their no-good sons.
Seems pretty straight forward to me. Where is the confusion?
By the way; its 5 oclock somewhere ;)

" Doesnt sound like a part of Cleveland I want to cruise around in if the Taco Bell employees feel the need to CCW."
Actually, Edgewater is one of the nicer parts of Cleveland. Still, that being said, if you're not carrying in Cleveland where the heck are you carrying?

My son works at a Chick-fil-A in a nice safe part of town. We unfortunately live in Maryland where the 2nd Amendment is basically ignored thus most of us have no right to carry.
His boss carries CCW making the store safer all around.

"Something about this smells."I agree. Based on voting results, there are about 12 CCW Republicans residing in the city and surrounding county of Cleveland. 3 of them are working in a Taco Bell, with all the 16 year olds?? You don't suppose the shooters were ringers?
Smells like an ambush...
It is considerate that they gave the bad guy a trip to the ER by slow wagon, to let him bleed out, before they decided he was passed on.
