    careful in the shop

    True story:

    Three guys (customers) walk into a gunshop. The three guys take each (3) employee's attention and spread themselves wide into two corners and the middle of the shop. Employees immediately sense something may be up. All employees are armed with handguns in holsters. Guns located at 4:30 - 5:00 o'clock position so not easily seen from the front.

    Middle customer engages one employee in conversation while other two customers are just hanging around the corner of the shop next to display case and faking interest by looking at guns in display case.

    Fourth employee happens to be in backroom unbeknownst to customers. Middle customer (older of the three) squats to look at a gun in display case. The act of squating prints a rather large handgun in his back. Corner employee notices and makes eye contact with the two other employees. Hands get lowered in ready position but not on guns.

    Fourth employee emerges from back not knowing what is going on but notices all three employees in ready position. Fourth employee stops and moves over to the cash register and puts his hand on a snubby .357 laying next to cash register.

    Middle customer realises that there are now 4 employees and that they are in ready position. Middle customer looks at the other two customers and they proceed to leave without a word.

    No guns were drawn and things ended peacefully.

    Stay alert folks.

        Good thing it went down like that. I remember watching a surveillance video of a bunch of thugs rushing a Turners, no one had a chance to think.

                No time to call. It went down pretty quick. 3 on 3 and every one kept an eye on a customer. When the 4th employee came out, he just reached and put his hand on the .357. Just happened that the middle customer noticed that there was a fourth employee and they left.


                In and out of shop less than 2 minutes.

                      The shop is no longer around. Just remembered it and thought I'd post as a reminder to stay alert.

                        So how long ago? When I started to read this,I was getting ready to go to my local GS's to warn them to be prepared. If this is something that happened months or years ago,it should have been stated as such.

                            After the fact, the police still should have been called.

                              I would have been on the phone immediately afterwards and described the three guys and their vehicle. My small town police would have been all over them and if they were felons with guns, it would have worked out.
