Never bring a knife to a gunfight...

Maybe mafree knows something about this. I think she's in Milwaukee isn't she?

I think it's called 'pulling youself up by your bootstraps'.

He didn't have a gun (which he need for his career of robber), so he used a knife, to get a gun, so that he could properly, and with pride, continue to build a resume.

Funniest one (looking back--it weren't so funny when it happened) was in an all-night coffee & donut shop. I was with some friends, driving back to Beaufort, South Carolina after a week's duty in Cherry Point. It was shift change for the police (or PO-leece, as they say in South Carolina), so there were about two dozen cops in the place.

The robber walked past a parking lot full of police cruisers, walks into the shop, pulls out a gun, fires a round into the ceiling, and shouts "THIS IS A--"

I remember hitting the floor and (a) losing control of my sphincters, (b) hoping that the cops had been to the pistol range recently, and (c) realizing that two dozen semi-autos going off at once is REALLY LOUD.

And to think, these types live, breed...and reproduce.

Sounds like "attempted suicide by gunstore" to me.

[TADSLOS]

I guess he couldn't deal with the mandatory waiting period for his first robbery gun.

[Feckless]

How do you survive 57 years and be that stupid? Next he'll be robbing the local PD.

[taxcontrol]

BWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Oh stop, your killing me!!

Thanks for the smile

I guess this clown wasn't the "sharpest knife in the drawer", was he?

Police have yet to interview the victim because the shooting left him unconscious, Detective Sgt. Paul Schlecht said.

Who is he calling the victim? I thought he was the suspect. Now he is a victim because the shop owner shot him? I hope he just mis-spoke..

Remember please, this is the same state that spawned Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Gein (I know Dahmer was born in Ohio, but he did his deeds here). We seem to have a propensity for losers and weirdos here . . . . . (sigh).

What a nice American name. Reporting on a gun store incident. Does he do stolen dynamite reports, also?

[Temple Owl]

He appears to be, and probably will be sometime in the near future, a candidate for a Darwin Award.

A man who tried to rob a Greenfield gun shop at knifepoint Thursday afternoon was shot in the chest by the shop owner, police said.

The victim, identified only as a 57-year-old Greenfield man, was taken to Froedtert Memorial Lutheran Hospital in Wauwatosa, according to police.

Police have yet to interview the victim because the shooting left him unconscious, Detective Sgt. Paul Schlecht said.

<SNIP>

He said the store owner, 44, shot the man once in the chest and that apparently no one else was inside the store when the shooting took place. The store owner was not injured.

How can the victim in this case be both 44 and 57? And how can he be both injured and taken to the hospital and at the same time not injured? This is some pretty poor writing. This "journalist" almost sounds like he's writing about two different people!

Note to gunstore owners: Upgrade to the next higher caliber.

"He is expected to make a full recovery and will return to his position of cheif of brain surgery at Johns Hopkins as soon as he is able to post bail"

ROTFLOL! This guy would likely bring a musket to a thermo-nuclear war.

[pointsal]

Look out... sub 70 IQ....could result in charges against the triggerman.
