Hmm — maybe leave a dummy gun on the counter for just this scenario
If you are going to run a jewelry store in an urban area, you have to learn to shoot, not talk.
On the counter?
Despite what the liberal left believes, they won’t shoot themselves.
He’s not familiar with his gun I’ll bet
There are three types of carry. Concealed carry, open carry, and leaving your loaded gun on the countertop. Which one is right for you depends on the exact circumstances, but, the last of the three might not be optimal when your store becomes filled with criminals.
"Teen" or "Youth" involved in crime = Young Congoid
Yup. Don’t show it.. Shoot it.
As soon as they owner saw the vehicle coming to ram the store front, he should have extracted his Mossberg 500 from under the counter, racked in a shell and given them one warning. After that, the thieves were on their own.
“”leaving your loaded gun on the countertop.””
Not brilliant at all. He didn’t appear to have much ambition when he was talking to the cameras - pretty Ho Hum...
I suspect it was Mexicans as I don’t remember that part of OC having a large population of the “is it them?” types. Anaheim Hills is pretty uptown!!!
“Hmm — maybe leave a dummy gun on the counter for just this scenario”
I am thinking that anyone that would put a gun on the counter as a scare tactic probably would be too nervous around guns to have a loaded one.
That’s true.
“”Four suspects were arrested after trying to flee. SWAT later tracked down three of the suspects.””
Arrested four and later tracked down three????? Whatever!
It’s them again, Yogi.
Exactly.
That’s the sad truth.
Perfect!
First thing that came to mind.
Parents must be so proud.
Not urban. It’s suburban Orange County. The wannabe robbers are from urban L.A.
Oh those teen rascals. Another mystery that we can clearly see the age of these scalawags (teens) but not what they look like. It’s a case for Scooby Doo and the gang.
And WTF. Trying to scare off “teens” by leaving your gun on the counter? What an idiot. Then again. If he shot one of those “teens” in the face he would be the one in prison.
