"Hmmmmmm.............ok ok ok............I've got a 6 inch blade. He's got an entire store filled with all manner of firearms, ranging from the mundane to the exotic."

"Yeah.....................I can take 'im."

Yeah, this genius may have cased the store and seen a sign saying that loaded guns weren't allowed in the store.......

Man shot during robbery attempt (tried to rob gun store with knife)

My brother married into a family mostly based in Milwaukee.
His father-in-law used to tell him about "the good old days" in Milwaukee when there was
nearly zero crime.
Apparently one thief didn't get the message and pulled a series of robberies in downtown;
the police put a huge advert in the newspaper that basically said "If you know what's
good for you, you'll stop and turn yourself in.".

The thug didn't get the message, pulled a robbery a few days later in which he jumped onto
a table; he was killed after being ventilated by a couple of .38 slugs from some officers.

Ah, those were the good old days...

YOU WIN!!! Funny how things we think are cool at the time can come back to bite us in the buttocks later, isn't it.

A friend of mine and I had my car SURROUNDED while sitting across the street from a local pool hall with the lights off and the engine running while watching for another friend's boyfriend to exit the establishment and head for home (it was his birthday and we were throwing him a REAL surprise party). Someone saw my car with the lights off and the engine running (hey, it was February!) and told the cops that someone was robbing the furniture store that we were parked beside of. I understand completely how a mouse feels right before it is pounced on by the cat!!! I hope to NEVER look down a gun from that particular angle again!! (to add insult to injury and already shaken nerves, my "friend" just couldn't resist telling me after the cops finally left that she sure was glad they didn't search her purse!!! -- you can guess why....).
