Richardson gun store owner fakes heart attack, grabs gun to shoot armed robber
By David Sentendrey
RICHARDSON, Texas – A group of armed men robbed a Richardson gun store Thursday, but one of them didn’t get away from the scene.Mike Brown runs Mike’s Gun Room by himself. The 77-year-old says the group of masked men first acted like shoppers and then made it clear they came to rob the place.
Brown pretended he was having heart trouble. It bought him enough time to grab a gun and shoot one of the suspects.
It’s a scenario Brown has played out inside his mind for the 26 years he’s owned a gun store, but Wednesday was the first time he says it happened.
Brown says three men came into his store at first seemed like they were shopping. Then, their actions changed.

Man shot in Skyway accused of brandishing hammer; detectives say shooter fired in self-defense
By Sara Jean Green
A 49-year-old man is under guard at Seattle’s Harborview Medical Center, where he is being treated for a gunshot wound to the abdomen after a dispute with his neighbor Tuesday in Skyway, according to the King County Sheriff’s Office.A woman returned home to her apartment complex in the 6900 block of South 123rd Street and found the door to her ground-floor unit kicked in, sheriff’s spokesman Sgt. Ryan Abbott said. She called her 34-year-old husband, who was at work nearby, he said.
When the husband arrived home, he briefly went inside his apartment. When he came back out, the man’s 49-year-old next-door neighbor — who the couple have had problems with in the past — was coming toward him with a hammer, Abbott said. The husband told the man to drop the hammer, but the neighbor continued to advance, and the husband shot him once in the abdomen, Abbott said.
The husband then secured his gun until deputies arrived, Abbott said.

Quick thinking and a bit of street theater, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. Doubt those thugs will be back.

IF that cow girl were to point a weapon at me, threaten to shoot me, and follow up by raping me; I swear I’d never turn her in to the po po. Matter of fact, I’d tell her I’m always here on late Tuesday night and keep my weapons locked up that night. These days it’s the safest way to avoid getting shot.
Who’s gonna claim, “Fox robbed me, attacked me, made me take part in carnal activities?” In case she ever returns, I’ll be ready for her next time. Bought a case of condoms today!”
Yes that is a gun in her pants and YES she is glad to see me! She has a come hither look. That Cowgirl can ride this stallion ANY time. Think that vine might need a little “trim” or “root” work? She’d make me have a heart and a hard attack.
Archived dumbass is the one that got hammered.
That thar M1917 is an all time favorite wheeled hand cannon of mine too. Covet, covet, covet! Those of us that are fans of W.E.B. Griffins’ “The Brotherhood of War Series” may recall that the Philip Sheridan Parker Characters had carried the same one from WWI thru Viet of the Nam.
The first story for me carries a lot of ironies.
I live on LI, NY about 40 miles East of that rat hole, NYC.
I also have pre-planned for the possibility of feigning a heart attack hoping that I could pull my ALWAYS present .380 with 90 gr. Hyra-Shoks on any perps. It makes sense!
With all the white hair I have on my head that bad guy would very likely buy the heart attack act…and if I have time I’ll get my .40 S&W Glock with 180’s loaded.
[…] This ain’t Hell… has your feel good stories, and more during the week. […]
The article on the M1917 doesn’t mention that Colt was also pressed into supplying a .45ACP revolver. In their case, they supplied a rechambered M1909 New Service chambered in .45ACP versus the original .45 Colt chambering. Other than the recently released M1911 series, that may be the only time when Smith and Colt both produced models with the same model number. (You also run across New Services chambered for the Brits in .455.)
Right you are, David.
M1917 History
The link was labeled “S&W M1917” until I discovered that fact, and more. Thanks.
Oh – and the picture they show IS the 1917 Colt, not the S&W. Definitely a Colt cylinder latch.
It also has “Colt D.A.45” stamped on the barrel.
*grin*
My first handgun was a M1909… the pic looked more than a tad familiar. Learning to shoot a handgun with a lousy trigger pull, crappy sights, and chambered in .45 Colt is not the way to go.
Not a feel good story – to LA county Sheriff’s Deputies “fighting for their lives” after being ambushed yesterday:

My friends dad worked for the Post Office picking up the mail in the mail boxes. The ones that did that job all carried the colt .45 with the half moon clips, and yes they were called clips. This was back in the 1950’s and earlier I believe. Whats with the holes in the chicks dungarees. A needle and thread could fix that as I am mentioning it on this thread.
Very early 1911 drawings call the magazine a clip. Current usage calls a box magazine a magazine and a stripper clip/half- or full-moon clip as ‘clips’ … and then there are the M1 en-bloc clips. I look at those who get really hung up on the clip vs. magazine as equivalent to those who debated how many angels could fit on the head of a pin.
I forgot to mention the 40 MM AA Bofors on the WW2 Navy ships used stripper clips to hold the 40 MM rounds. Just the big daddy of stripper clips. The 3 in 50 rapid fire guns on board the LPH 3 were loaded by hand into a large wheel gun type cylinder cradle I believe.
If that holes-in-the-britches FOX ever needs her tattoo removed, I’ll do it for free with my sandpaper tongue.
Sorry Bruh, I done voluntold you Imma getting to “root” out that problem. Stay dry, Sally heading yo way.
