How many other endings to this real story can you imagine, with the addition of one legally armed CCW holder?

Three robbers tie up employees at market

Employees at a Menlo Park market were tied up and held at gunpoint during an armed robbery, police said yesterday.

Three men entered the La Michoacana Market at 1305 Willow Road just before 11 p.m. Saturday and threatened two employees with a semi-automatic hangun one man was carrying.

The men tied up one employee in the back of the store, while the other two suspects forced the cashier to open the register. They tied up the cashier as well after emptying the cash register.

The suspects then fled the scene, and have not been located.

Police described the men as all being Hispanic males between 20 and 30 years of age, all wearing dark clothing.

One Dead, One Wounded, and One at large

as they try to rob a Menlo Park market.

When three male hispanics, 20-30 yrs old, one armed with a semi automatic handgun, tried to hold up La Michoacana Market at 1305 Willow Road just before 11 p.m. Saturday, they had no idea what was waiting for them.

One employee, leagally armed with his own concealed firearm, fatally shot the suspect who was holding the gun. When one of his cohorts attempted to pick up the gun his buddy had dropped, the employee shot and wounded him as well.

The third suspect was at large when police arrived at the scene. A spokesperson for the Menlo Park Police said, "He wont be hard to find. He left a trail of yellow DNA on the floor as he ran screaming from the store."


In a perfect world...

(CA) Trigger lock prevents robbery

Witnesses described an incredible scene early this morning as CA's recent trigger lock law prevented an armed robbery.

Three dark-skinned males were attempting to hold up a market when hordes of angry trigger locks from recent firearm purchasers swarmed around the robbers, and in a scene reminiscent of The Birds, beat them unconscious.

The store clerks were shaken but unharmed. The CA Attorney general held an unscheduled press conference, stating that with these new gun laws on the books, the days of violent crime in California are finally coming to an end.

"Three armed robbers captured by citizens"

They were taken to the local "Town Meeting" and have not been seen since.

(OK -- vigilanti justice is ugly, but it does satisfy a basic need in us for closure....)

You guys are all too optimistic ...

"Two Employees Found Murdered in Menlo Park Market"

"Two store clerks were apparently tied up and then murdered by single shots to the head .... no suspects at this time ... etc"



THAT is the reason for CCW and defending yourself.

THR Member

The employee that was placed in the back frees herself out of her restraints with an Emerson Commander folder and grabs her 1911 handgun.

She makes a run for the cash register to see her friend being tied up as the 3 men are packing away money in a back pack.

The 3 robbers looked in awe as they realize that the woman aiming the gun at them goes by the name "Tamara" on THR. Each one of them apologize for the crime they have just committed and turn themselves in to the police.



Beat that guys

Gun enthusiast and THR member stopped by the Quickie Mart for Beef Jerky and noticed three soon to be dead gang members robbing his favorite Korean cutie. Upon pulling his Mossburg Mod. 500 Riot Master, he proceeded to shatter store glass, soda pop bottles and flesh and bone from some poor misunderstood members of society.
After removing his trophies (Ears) with his new Benchmade, he paid for his Beef Jerky and a Grape Soda and told the cutie behind the counter that he will pick her up when she gets off work later and left the scene stepping over the spreading blood puddle and driving off into the Sun set.
But before he could reach his used Highway Patrol car he noticed a low riding vehicle coming his way at high speed. Dropping is Mod. 500, he reached under his coat and pulled his two .45 Mac 10’a he call the Twins and sprayed the vehicle with lead. The Low rider crashed into a light pole and burst into flames.
Approaching the burning hulk with caution, he switched weapons ounce more to his trusty 1911. Like kicking up quail, BG’s burst from the far side of the car running for their unworthy lives and were dually dispatched with a single 230 gr. .45 Hard Ball between the shoulder blades for their troubles.

3 Hispanic males get removed from the gene pool.

3 Hispanic males tried to rob a small grocery store yesterday afternoon. The men entered the store armed and demanded that the employees open the register and then go into the back of the store. The employees, all three small women comply with the request. Upon reaching the back room followed by one of the men, the women quickly split up and draw and ignite their lightsabers. Stunned, the guard has his gun arm and head removed in a flash of green light. The other two are dispatched within seconds as well without a shot being fired by any of them.

The coroner said "I love these situations. Lightsabers cauterize when they cut so there's very little mess to clean up. Just a few big chunks to stuff into garbage bags. Good work ladies!"
