TRENTON - The handgun is just a few weeks old, purchased by Praveen Malhotra because he had been robbed of cash by a gunman just two months after he took over ownership of the Sanhican Liquor Shoppe last October.

On Thursday at 9:15 p.m., Malhotra said, he needed the weapon when another gunman managed to sail through a small, square opening in the Plexiglas fortress in the Edgewood Avenue store designed to prevent such an invasion.

For the record, "Steven Gudger" must be an alias. How the hell does one get the last name "Gudger" and NOT change it? I know it doesn't hold a candle to Heidi Salami, but still . . .

LOL!

Since you're claiming him, give him some range time and training so that next time, the problem is solved more permanently.

We do still need to get many people over that stupid "warning shot in the leg" idea, don't we?

I had a gun with me at work one time and went to jail for it. And, I didn't even get the pleasure of blasting a bad guy.

Then he'd be singing "Om, Om, Om on the Range".

'Morning back! Just gotta love this guy...

He said he never took shooting instruction, but said: "I'm a fan of cowboy movies."

Something tells me the word is now out about Mr. Malhotra's weaponry. It'll probably be a while before somebody robs him again.

HOLY VISHNU !!

Now since this occurred in New Jersey, Mr. Gudger falls under the "Two Time Offender" rule:

He must now serve TWO days of house arrest, and receive TWO APOLOGIES from the judge.
