Re: Friend died in a robbery
I'll restate the same sentiments as those on here already. I'm sorry your friend was murdered. I can't begin to think about the grief his family and friends, like you, are going through. I hope they put a needle in the puke's arm.

Re: Friend died in a robbery
Reminds me of my ex wife's friends. Decided to build a big house in a barrio of Houston. Said they liked the community ,wanted to build bridges, refused advice to not do it. They were white. Built it moved in, got robbed several times, kids beat up on way to school. After a year sold the house for a loss and moved into a gated community. Some people just can't accept reality. My condolences on your friend...

Re: Friend died in a robbery
Yes, that's him. I say to you and all law abiding gun owners, keep your gun ON YOU, round in the chamber, if you can. Although they caught his murderer, there are MANY more murderers/wolves out on the streets, literally stalking the streets looking for prey. It's a blessing just to make it home everyday. It's a cruel world man .BB62 wrote:That's a damn shame. You have my heartfelt sympathy.

Re: Friend died in a robbery
Joe, did you ever read the story of Lance Thomas, a jeweler in L.A. that got robbed a bunch of times, and how he had to defend his life with gunfire on several occasions? Sorry I don't have a quick link, but it's easy enough to hunt up. Mr. Thomas didn't always have a gun on his person, but wherever he was in the shop, there was one hidden within arm's length.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Re: Friend died in a robbery
I wish he would've done what that guy did, guns stashed all over the store It's a BAD neighborhood to work in, and he was working the store by himself. Occasionally his father in law would come in and help, but he was usually by himself. I would've at minimum carried a full size handgun in a OC holster, retention strap off, just for the super fast draw if need be. I know other store owners in the general area, foreigners, who do exactly what I said I'd do, all of them OC carry in the store, 40S&W or 45ACP full sized something, 2-4 people in store working, everyone of them packing something big bore on the hip. Crazy thing about it, these guys have NEVER get robbed bc thugs don't want the trouble. Last person that tried to rob one of their stores at gunpoint on Hamilton Ave (store they own on the other side of town, another bad neighborhood), store owner shot the thug with his 12 gauge shotgun, while the store owner's brother shot the thug multiple times with his 45ACP. That thug died before he hit the ground. That was the LAST time they had an incident .

Re: Friend died in a robbery
Same deal with the Shop Right store in Roselawn. Those dudes don't mess around. Like to grab coffee there and chat them up from time to time...only a complete newbie to that part of town would choose that place for a holdup.Glock513 wrote:I wish he would've done what that guy did, guns stashed all over the store It's a BAD neighborhood to work in, and he was working the store by himself.
