At every gun store I've been to, every employee is open carrying. There's no confusion about who's armed, and no question that those guns are loaded. Only a pure idiot would attempt the robbery of a gun store while they're open. That said, there are some pure idiots out there, and you do occasionally hear about someone trying. It's exceptionally rare that they succeed. You found one such instance. Big deal. Try to find three more (good luck with that).

These links demonstrate what usually happens when one of these low-IQ types tries it...

awesome yet again "just look at you all fired up."
Yea,
Better if people didn't care and get mad right? Go along to get along!!!Are you part of "you people". The very same ones you, being Mr Helper, want to "teach a lesson too"? You still don't get it.

But it's good to see you admit your agenda was too troll and not have a discussion.People responded when you made a comment because you had an opinion. That's how it works on a discussion forum. Posters at c-d as well as the administration want to see this so you wont see much respect and may see a OP deleted when there is no comment, just a link. Especially when you admit you didn't care about your OP and just wanted to see a response. To me it's like trolling.

You would have to be an idiot, or come in guns blazing. That would probably be pretty effective as well.

Lewis Carroll couldn't come up with a more bizarre world than that where liberal gun grabbers live. Crime can happen anywhere, everyone but a loony liberal knows that, armed law abiding citizens reduce and often prevent crime which has been proven many times but never accepted by the loons. Only gun grabbers see guns as magic objects that kill people on their own and are somehow supposed to magically stop all crime at the same time.

It's not as if people go into gun shops to rob them every day, here's one other incident where the robber was killed by an armed employee (shocking and sad to liberals I'm sure) Business | Man Killed In Robbery Attempt | Seattle Times Newspaper it was only 23 years ago. How often do shootings happen in 'gun free zones' again?

Of all the places, I thought we were suppose to believe that gun owners protect themselves and those who aren't are victims waiting to get killed. According to the NRA, if criminals know guns are there, they will stay away. I thought the only solution was a food guy with a gun. Right.

from your statement, I would guess you are the type that thinks women should just call 911 when confronted by a rapist.

better to have a woman standing over the dead body of their attempted rapist, than to lay on the floor dead strangled by their own pantyhose.

Yeah. Because a woman that owns a gun will never be raped or killed. Yep.

Did we say that?

She might, but with a firearm she can generate maximum force to defend herself.

no, because a woman who has a firearm has a better chance at defending themselves than a woman who has nothing at all.

better to have a firearm and not need it, then to need a firearm and not have it.
