A group of thugs in a likely stolen vehicle backed into a convenience store's handicap parking spot with the obvious intention of scoring some quick money to waste on more drugs...They did not count on the store operator who didn't mind getting off the first shot...One of them would now qualify for the handicap spot......Ben

That brings to mind the "gang that couldn't shoot straight"----those boys should look for another line of work, they don't seem emotionally ready for this one
Just an observation overall----these guys that are running around shooting up neighborhoods and street corners apparently never learned to shoot straight. It seems that in many classes what they hit is "collateral damage".

A scattergun may not help the resale value of the remaining inventory, but that would be the least of my concerns...I recall a few stories from a now-deceased friend of mine who worked the shotgun squads in Houston liquor stores in the 70's...One in particular comes to mind in which he was reprimanded after killing an armed bandit on Halloween night...The last words the miscreant heard in this life were, "Trick or treat, mother****er!"...Unfortunately my friend had to answer for that since the store camera caught it all...Originally Posted by TriGuy

Back in the early 90's I was advised it was the best protection in an RV, short barrel and pistol grip, point and shoot. The author made the statement that there's no one that doesn't know the sound of a shotgun action. My mom was with me on a trip and was worried about someone breaking in, I told her I would hate to have to buy a new door for the trailer.

And now---for the rest of the story
The store owner, who is 80, had a heart attack over this but is recovering just fine
The punk with the rifle isn't doing as well
I could not understand what he was screaming as he ran---apparently he was whining loudly, "he shot my arm off" ----damn shame about that pal
He is now in the hospital in critical condition-----all the worst to you punk

It gets better.
All four of the punks went to a hospital----where three of them were immediately arrested and the fourth was admitted. If it were up to me, I'd cut the damn thing off and beat him over the head with it

We'll put this one in the "Please don't shoot at me, I'm stupid" file.
