Attempted Barber Shop Robbery Turns Deadly

[virginia mountainman]

Two guys walked in to a very busy Gents Barbershop at about 5:30 p.m. Friday on Whittier at Stratman on Detroit's east side. One with a gun said, "You know what time it is."

What the two bad guys didn't know was two customers were legally carrying handguns.

A man in a chair getting a cut took advantage of pulling his gun under the cover of the smock.......

Outcome, and video at link...

1. "emptied his automatic clip containing multiple rounds".... arrrrrgh.

Will someone please, please pistol-whip the reporter.... (Joke, really, but come on, WTF?)

4. Whats the problem?

The gun used was never mentioned. Maybe he somehow magically pulled out an M1 Garand, so the statement 'emptied the clip' would be accurate. (poor attempt at humor, and I realize that most reported need to learn that its called a 'magazine'

5. An SBR'd M1....how sweet would that be. Open Carry of course.

7. One of these...

...for open carry, please.

8. Carbine or Garand? A 30-06 out of a 14" barrel would get attention! n/t

9. Actually, I was more focused on the "automatic clip" phrase (WTH is an "automatic clip"?)....

and the "multiple rounds" (well, duh, Mr. Reporter Man).

Essentially, the entire report had to have been written by an utter ignoramous.

11. No one knows...it's just a phrase to get grabber support.

2. It's a shame he wasn't able to kill the other thug too.

...

[spin]

3. That will probably cause the bad guys to reconsider barbershop robberies ...

in Detroit.

6. But I'm sure that there will be an outcry...

...to legislate making barbershops into gun-free zones because little boys go there often. :sarcasm:
