‘Would-be robber’ left baffled when store clerk pulls his own gun, Florida cops say
Mark Price
An attempted store robbery turned awkward when the “would-be robber” discovered his intended victim also had a gun, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office in Florida.It happened Sept. 9 at a store on North Pace Boulevard in Pensacola, and surveillance video shows the suspect was thwarted at every turn, starting when he couldn’t find anyone behind the counter.
“Unbeknownst to the ‘would-be’ robber, a store employee had watched him arm himself before entering the store. This employee headed to the backroom to arm himself (with his own personal gun),” the sheriff’s office said.
“Seconds later, when he sees the employee return, he freezes. … The employee returned to the counter holding his own gun toward the befuddled attempted robber.”
At that point, the suspect is heard trying to come up with a non-threatening reason he brought a shotgun into a convenience store.

A call about a suspicious person in a Palm Beach County Publix parking lot ended with a shot 21-year-old in critical condition, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said.PBSO said this happened Monday around 6:05 p.m. at a Publix in Greenacres, 4840 S. Military Tr. Before deputies got to the store, PBSO said, the man had fired a pistol into the air several times.
After 20 minutes of trying to talk the weapon out of the man’s hand, PBSO said, he waved the gun “in a threatening manner at deputies.” One of the deputies shot him.

After the 13th time they take him to a mental institution, they call it a Baker’s Dozen.
BZ Hack,,, Ya got me on that rim shot.
If I’d been that store clerk, the conversation might have gone something like this, “You can leave without any additional holes in you, if you give me that shotgun. Carefully.” (shotgun changes hands) “Good. Another one to add to my collection. Thanks. You may leave now. Oh, and you can come back any time, if you have cash in your hands instead of a gun. Bye.”

Clerk: …. “Wrong.” BANG!
I like the photo up top. I have one of these in stainless, and I think they do a far better job than Colt on them now. Particularly in stainless.
Those Croatian built Springfields are nice. I have an XD .40, 3 in. barrel and the XDe .9MM 3 in Barrel. looking to buy a couple of their CO 2 BB/Pellet guns.

Couple of baby green ones and a few old brownies. Condo neighbors would have a shit fit seeing me capping one. They love my sisters garden. I’d plink inside my place.

We are in a protracted war with despotic domestic enemies. Our continued freedom will be left up to us to defend.
Just had to dangle that delectable Springfield Linky in front of me, knowing I’d take the bait. Well played, Big Dog, it worked! I Thank ye.
He found out that Florida isn’t Chicago, and in Florida you stand a good chance of your “victim” being armed.
Maybe he should try Texas next.
