This is why I keep telling myself that I should apply for a CCW and get a handgun.

MINNEAPOLIS - A pharmacist in south Minneapolis single-handedly fought off an armed robber.

“It was scary, you don't know what he is going to do he was panicked and he was swinging that knife around,” said Cyrus Elliot. Elliot, a pharmacist at Snyder Pharmacy at 4600 Nicollet Ave. S. in south Minneapolis.

Wednesday morning, shortly after the store opened, a man walked in wearing a white hooded sweatshirt and carrying a duffle bag. Surveillance video shows the man ducking into one of the store’s aisles and slipping on a clear plastic hallowed mask.

The robber went behind the counter and demanded Elliot fill his bag with narcotics.

Surveillance video shows the robber armed himself with a kitchen style knife. Elliot waited for the just the right moment and grabbed a chair to fight off the robber. The two men fought for several minutes. Elliot dislocated his thumb during the scuffle and cut his hand when he grabbed at the knife.

Police are looking for a white man approximately 5’10”-6” tall, 230 lbs wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, translucent Halloween mask blue jeans and armed with a large kitchen type knife. Anyone with information should call the Minneapolis Police Tip Line at 612-692-8477

See... if it were me... I'dve hit the silent alarm and taken my time getting the narcotics.
but if I had a CCW with a licensed handgun... all I'd have would be a mess to mop up off the floor after they carried the robber's body out.

I love how they mention shit like this, as if the guy would be still walking around in all this gear for days.

Shit, I'd fuck him up with a chair better then that. Maybe add a flying tackle mixed in with some kicks to the nuts...

Hell.. at first I couldn't figure out what the perp was.. because he's got moobs... but he's skinny.
Must be stealing the wrong types of meds.

and if we just legalized drugs, he could come in and BYE something from you.

but yeah, i agree with you. you might want to check into getting one. with the economy in the shitter and not expected to get any better till 2011, drug use will go up and you could be a target.

sometimes just letting a tweaker know you are packin will stop the crime before happening. i think it would suck to to have to kill someone for just needing a fix but, thats the world we live in.

Hell.. I know some guys who'd gladly sell him the stuff if he was paying cash and had a mildly questionable script.

I don't play those games.

What are the laws around you concerning the use of long-arms for defense in a store you own mack?

Fuck the law. Keep a shotgun underneath the counter and if any motherfucker comes in with a gun or knife, grab that thing and blow their head off.

As cliche as it sounds, it really is better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.

And this is why there are no bad-ass pharmacists.

Speaking of which... Why the hell do all the "old timer" pharmacists suffer from Male Pattern Baldness?!?

I mean.. lookit the guy!


Swear to God... every time I got to some CE credit or convention or pharmacy meeting... All the "old timers" look like this.

What's up with that?

You're going to be carried out by six soon if you don't hit 80!

LOL! I know, I know!

The Halloweenie event kept me busy for a couple days on my rogue. I'm trying to get the world meta achievement (but I got screwed over by Brewfest cause I started too late to get enough tokens to complete it).

Anyway, all I have left to get is the Headless Horseman's helm, then I'm done. Back to my druid. Who, BTW, just dinged 71 the other night!

My roommate knew a guy from high school that went to a pharmacy in Denver with a katana and stole some oxycodone.

The kicker to the story is that after he got the meds he took a rather substantial number of them about 300 feet from the entrance to the store, then fell over and just sat there until police arrived and arrested him.

To own a gun and have the nerve to use it can be 2 diffrent things, a carry permit don't give you the right be just go out and start blasting fool's. There are rules that go along with the permit so memorize this to say to the police when you cap a crackhead trying to jack your Ipod......

I may legally use deadly force only when there is an immediate and otherwise unavoidable danger of death or grave bodily harm to the innocent.

Then you have to prove these three things were present..

Ability~~~~ that the other person has the power to kill or to cripple you.

Opportunity~~~~ that the circumstances are such that the other person would be able to use his ability against you.

Jeopardy~~~~ that the other person's actions or words provide you with a reasonably-perceived belief that he intends to kill you or cripple you.

Those are the high Points, meet those standards and you should be in the clear.... FROM WHAT I HAVE READ and from the class I took when I got my permit, So don't quote me, get a laywer. lol

Or, if you're in Colorado and in your own home, just cap their motherfucking ass.

EDIT: Oh, and a quick poll...

Who here thinks Mack should keep a gun...at work? Raise your hand.

























Anybody?

That's exactly how you shouldn't defend yourself. If the robber wanted to use that knife the old guy would have been seriously fucked up.

The guys got balls though.

CCW in NJ????

Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure. Right after they tear down the toll booths on the turnpike cause they finally paid off the bonds.

Asians and guns don't mix!!!!!

Asian uses of gunpowder: Fireworks and sparklers.

European uses of gunpowder: muskets and cannons.

You've got to love Europeans; we'll turn anything into a weapon

Y'know... a couple of months ago I went into some asian grocery store and I saw that they sold bags of potassium nitrate salt (for cooking or some shit)...

FIRST thing that came to my mind was:
Oh COOL! I can make gunpowder!


didn't buy it, though... but I probably could've taken the stuff, mortar and pestle, sulfur + charcoal... and made my own black powder!
