File under "What did you expect?"
Bad guy walks into convenience store. Bad guy brandishes a handgun. Bad guy pistol whips clerk and makes off with an undisclosed amount of cash. Bad guy is later arrested and charged with aggravated robbery. And this happened in Ohio, a state that recently passed legislation allowing its citizens to carry concealed firearms for their personal protection. Surely this must be an example of the "wild wild west bloodbaths in the streets" scenario the gun control crowd predicted, right?
Think again. Compare this story from the Akron Beacon Journal with the version from the Ohioans for Concealed Carry website (with pictures).
It's shocking I tell you...just shocking! What's this world coming to when an individual out to commit armed robbery in the middle of the day doesn't even have the decency to leave his gun in the car...just like the nice sign said.
Hey, why don't banks just post a $5 sign on the door that says "No Bank Robbing Allowed Here"? Think of all the money they'd save in security costs. It's brilliant! Why haven't they thought of this sooner? And why don't women, if they have to go out alone at night, just wear a button that says "No Raping Allowed". Think of all the violent crime we can prevent!
Morons.
