Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Lucky they weren't shot. I don't think I would have said anything to the thugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantankerous Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Basically a happy ending for all involved. Our good guy did not get robbed and the bad guys did not get shot in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I seem to recollect a movie in which James Earl Jones was a cop in a big city. He was off-duty or something, when these would be thugs come up to his car, demanding money. I forget what their threat was, but first he takes off his watch and says, "You want this?" Before they can answer, he pulls out his wallet and says, "You want this?" Finally, he pulls out a revolver and says, "How about this?!" The punks take off running!

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Careful, now... some would be critical of "profiling".... Reminds me of the time back in the 60's when Uncle Ralph had three "thugs" come up to his car and demand his wallet. In those days he worked in sales for Olin; he reached under nis coat on the passenger seat and came out with a most impressIve Ramset gun. He described the scene as instantly transformed from tense to "funny as hell" as the miscreants literally scrambled over each other to escape the Buck Rogers-ish weapon... "So Uncle Ralph... wha'd these guys look like?" "Well... they had brown eyes. BIG brown eyes!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 This happened in the LA area. I'm surprised the ex-Leo isn't in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustin Checotah Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 There was a gun store in the Norfolk, VA area that had the guys behind the counter on a raised platform. Just a bit so they would have a better view. The place was in a strip mall and some guy just pops in and pulls out a knife and announced a robbery. They were armed and told him he should look around. I guess he decided it wasn't the right place to rob. This is something that I had heard a long time ago but it was told to me and I had been in the store mentioned.
