Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to
take an butt whoopin’.
I don’t carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful
to me.
I know thats right. :0)
Hey Im not raceist….Billybob and Jethro are Bubbas brothers. Im just saying…...grani needs a gun too.
Dang…..Bubba and Jaquan…..what about Billybob and Jethro? Grani and Aunt Ruth better get guns to protect them from their family now and days. I will never give up my guns….only one is registered just in case.
If every registered voter with no criminal record were required to carry a gun, crime would drop dramatically. Instead of bubba and jaquan having all the guns, grani and aunt ruth could feel safe too. To you the public, I say hide your guns from any government who would deny you the right to bare arms.Criminals will always have guns.
The clerk should be given a medal and the low life got exactly what he deserves! Might sound bad but I agree that it’s too bad he didn’t die - we’re already paying for way too many low lifes who expect the government and the people to pay their way in life. Guess this scum-bag won’t be doing any more robberies in the near future. Yeah!
Wow ctb055….he shoul’ve just let the man take what his stuff? Get real. And anon43215, Do you really think that guns wouldn’t be around if they were illegal, drugs are illegal, oh and so are assualt weapons like A-K’s and they still float the streets.
The clerk should be charged with something for not emptying his weapon and killing the robber! Now us taxpayers will have to pick up the tab for his hospital costs that he won’t pay. Is it any wonder that health care costs so much?
Ravtrav, I think you missed the sarcasm in the earlier posts.
According to 10tv.com, the robber was armed. This sounds like a good shooting for the good guys.
