Re: How *NOT* to rob a store
On a serious note...that's a good reminder to practice your drawstroke regularly. If you need your firearm to defend your life, tossing it at your assailant is probably not your best first move.
The guy in the clip needs drawing practice and fleeing practice. He was fairly inept at both!

That depends, some handguns are only useful as throwing weapons.Ropin wrote:If you need your firearm to defend your life, tossing it at your assailant is probably not your best first move.

Re: How *NOT* to rob a store
He drew his gun upside down!
So, lets do a quick recap.
Illegal handgun bought on the black market... $75
Hoody and hat to conceal identity... $25
Drawing weapon upside down and tossing it to the clerk at the store you're robbing... -$75
Karma turning things around on you while you soil your pants and flee... PRICELESS

Re: How *NOT* to rob a store
Kudos to the clerk for great awareness. How many people could have recognized a gun being thrown at them and picked it up, pointing it that quickly?
There are apparently a number of BGs out there who need to be in another line of business.

The smart crooks are in banking and government, not this stuff... although this seems to be the penultimate example of "bottom of the barrel."

Reminds me......time to practice my drawing technique again..........
It's funny when he raises his hands as the gun flies away, scared that it will go off when it hits the counter......

Re: How *NOT* to rob a store
Thanks for posting this, pb! I really needed a good laugh today.
Is it just me or does the clerk appear to start laughing when he picks up the gun?

Re: How *NOT* to rob a store
I don't know if it was a smile or shock......either way, its a free gun. Probably would have been more productive to just hand the clerk a note.......if he could write......
Maybe there was a gun buster sign in the window and he wanted to be legal........NOT! "Excuse me, Mr. Clerk, I see there are no firearms allowed in here, so would you mind holding this while I look around?"
