Take away lesson: Don’t rob a man-centric location in a concealed carry state.

FWIW this area was heavily impacted during the October floods.

Sitting in a chair with a sheet over you and being asked for your wallet has to be a CCW’s dream scenario. Yeah, let me lean over and dig out my wallet under here. Oh, look what I found. bangbangbangbangbangbang

[dokmad]

2nd amendments intended purpose!

Not quite as stupid as the perps in the past that tried to rob a gun store. Close enough though.

I love it when crooks self-identify as Darwin candidates.

A gun used by one of the suspects was reported stolen from South Columbia home in 2012, Holbrook said.

What? The perp didn't buy the gun at a gun show? How can that be?

Reminds me of a scene from the Eastwood movie For A Few Dollars More, where Eastwood wears the poncho which covers the wood stove door.

Odds the criminals being Amish?

At least there was a happy ending. The thug that got away should have read up on the 2nd Amendment.

The area is a bit scruffy. I'd say there is a high chance they are Sons of Obama. Starting community college and trying to jump start their rap careers.

Nobody could do it like Eastwood...(High Plains Drifter)

He probably stole it from an Internet site that didnt do a background check.

— Unfortunately, the second robber got away with just a close shave.

— Did the barber give a lollipop to the dead robber for not fidgeting?

— Two or three years from now that barbershop will still have an issue of a gun magazine reporting this story.

— The barber should ask his barber supply rep if he can get him one of those attachments used by the CC holders. They come in several calibers.

Why did the patrons kill the criminal AFTER the robbery? Seems to me that offing him during the robbery would be better timing.

Yes, I know there are no editors anymore, and journalists are no longer literate.

[GOPJ]

I suspect he bought it on the black market from fellow criminals... Same way most criminals buy the guns they don’t steal...

[Izzy Dunne]

The perp didn't buy the gun at a gun show? How can that be?

Heck, it's even easier to buy them over the Internet; wonder why he didn't ?

Our Pastor calls it “Permanent Rehabilitation”.

Liberals and obama say this never happens.

Just saw a local news program and there were children present! <OhTheHorror!>
