HILLSBORO, Ore. (AP) — The Washington County sheriff’s office says a man who attempted to rob a Beaverton gun store with a baseball bat and a knife was thwarted when the manager drew his own gun.
Sorry, I can’t deal with this level of stupid this early, not even with coffee.
The sign in the store window said “Obama Free Zone”…………. 🙂
Miguel, you missed the best (or worst) part, the part that makes Babe Ruth there seem really, really stupid. He was trying to rob “Discount Gun Sales”.
Rob a gun store with a baseball bat? Maybe it’s not the case in Seattle, but around here, every clerk in every gun store is open carrying.
Few years back I was told of a incident in which a ex-husband-to-be who decided he wanted to deal with his ex-to-be showed up at her place of work(in Texas) and pulled a knife on her.
She was the secretary/cashier at a gun shop. Where ALL the employees carried.
I was informed that he suffered Wet Pants Syndrome, and had no problem waiting for the cops to arrive.
@SiGrayBeard: It’s not Seattle, it’s Beaverton, OR. Open carry isn’t legal across-the-board in OR like it is in WA.
That said, I believe Beaverton allows OC, which may or may not matter at all; being a freakin’ GUN STORE, it’s likely they had “a little something” under the counter – accessible to all employees – just in case of this scenario.
Either way, teh Stoopid is strong with this one. 🙂
