Paying attention to detail (or not...)

C&P from Farnam again- too good not to share.

It pays to pay attention...

Finally, a happy trigger lock story:

A bar owner in Indiana and three of his customers beat a would-be robber so badly last Wednesday that the shotgun-wielding suspect required nineteen staples to close the wounds to his head.

Donald Willis, 46, entered the bar holding a shotgun. He ordered the owner and three customers to get on the floor. Not impressed, the bar's owners charged Willis, knocking him to the floor. A customer grabbed the shotgun. Another struck Willis on the head with a bottle.

Such bravery may have been encouraged by the fact that the shotgun in question had a trigger lock installed that was plainly visible! When police examined that shotgun, they found it to be unloaded.

The suspect was arrested. No one else was injured.

Comment: This is the first and only "good" outcome involving a trigger lock I've seen. Hopefully, it will become a trend among armed robbers!

Natural selection is a slow and imperfect process, but it does work.

TOOOOOO Funny ! ! ! !

Hey, Moron, here's a clue for ya.....

When you're gonna rob a joint, remove trigger lock(s) & drop some ammo into said weapon.

If nothing else, some of the really massive trigger locks can be used as throwing weapons.

That is great.
I love stories like this, they make me feel smarter.
