The incident started Sunday night sometime after 10 p.m. when Black Dog Armory owner Chuck Cunningham and his father headed to the store on 40655 Grimmer Blvd. after getting an alarm notification. Cunningham’s father, who did not want to give his name, said they didn’t find anyone there.

Police were also called; according to a summary of the incident, officers found no sign of forced entry.

The Philly story bears repeating, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. 1 v 4(?) with one dropped and one winged is pretty fine shooting. Doubtless the DA will convince the wounded one to give up his fellow thug(s) currently in the wind, for some consideration come sentencing time.

“There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have been saved if the people had not been “brainwashed” about gun ownership and they had been well armed. Hitler’s thugs and goons were not very brave when confronted by a gun. Gun haters always want to forget the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect example of how a ragtag, half starved group of Jews took up 10 handguns and made asses out of the Nazi’s.” — Theodore Haas, former prisoner of the infamous Dachau prisoner concentration camp
