Competent clerk thwarts incompetent thieves

[Ban Hammer 14,174]

Two men tried to rob a clerk at a Northland gun store Thursday, despite the fact that the clerk was wearing a shoulder holster with a semi-automatic handgun in plain view.

Not surprisingly, the holdup failed miserably. In fact, the robbers lost $40.

It all started about 2 p.m. when one of the robbers came into Guns Unlimited, 8113 N. Oak Trafficway, and asked for a box of .357 Magnum ammunition. The clerk told him it would cost about $50. The man said he needed to get more money and left.

Just before 5 p.m., he returned with a partner and said he wanted to buy the ammunition. The clerk looked at the man’s identification to check his age, rang up the sale and told the man he owed $50. The man slid two $20 bills on the counter, then pulled a blue .357 revolver from his waistband and said, “Give me your money!”

Unfazed, the clerk pulled his own handgun, pointed it at the gunman and said, “No!”

The suspects ran out of the store, leaving behind the two $20 bills. They were last seen running south down the sidewalk

Police were investigating.

I sometimes want to see a pic of their parents. Just see who bred them.

Don't see a political or a religious link to the story (at least yet!) so moving to Off Topic

So a couple of Obama the Socialist lovers walk in and try to rob a clerk who is a true American that observes his constitutional rights. The two downtrodden Socialist are such morons that they try to rob this great patriot and get the drop on them by the clerk and run away like any true Socialist would from their problems.

Bravo to the clerk for saying NO.

Hopefully he remembered the name on the ID.

Hope he kept the 40 bucks but sure the law enforcement confiscated it.

Great Americans. +1

Socialist scum. -1

it's a shame the clerk did not provide the police with a red trail to follow

Like most moronic Socialists they probably thought you had to rob a gun store if you had a gun. A knife store if all you had was a knife and so on.

This has to be political because it was a Mexican standoff.
