Just heard on the news that there was a customer in the checkout line who had his legal concealed carry weapon on him when an armed robber came in to the Homeland grocery store. The customer drew and shot the robber, but he made it back outside to the get away car and was driven away by the getaway driver. They say the robber was hit seriously because there is A LOT of blood at the scene, so much that they say if the robber doesn't get to a hospital soon he will more than likely die.

The standard lib response will be that the CCW holder escalated a simple robbery into a violent act. The poor (alleged) robber would have gladly taken some money and left without harming anyone. Instead the evil gun nut wounded the defenseless (alleged) robber and placed all the other customers and employees in jeopardy. |

The full news story should be on www.kotv.com or www.ktul.com or www.fox23.com shortly.
I will check them in the morning and post any update if the night crew doesn't do so. |

If the shooter doesn't get AT LEAST a $1000.00 gift card from Homeland we should boycott.

Sorry. I thought you were referring to run-of-the-mill libs. I didn't know you were talking to one of the more level-headed of the bunch. |

Wow...I used to shop at that Homeland at 89th & Memorial...
$20 says the robbers live over in Sun Chase Apartments @ 93rd & Memorial...A friend who's a Deputy says there's lots of criminal activity at that complex...they're always finding stolen cars over there. |
|
One incident like this is worth 100 police on the street in my book.
Too bad some lawyer is going to file a civil suit against the CCW holder. |
|
You heartless bastard! He was just trying to get money to feed his |
|
|
It's obvious that you don't know much about Oklahoma... No criminal charges will be filed. Period. In the EXTREMELY UNLIKELY event that a civil case is filed, the plantiff won't get jack-shit...no jury in Oklahoma will have any sympathy for the shit-stain who caught a round robbing a grocery store... |

Can someone say DNA? Hopefully this guy has a sample on file so they can ID him real quick, even if they don't find him at the hospital in emergency surgery getting sewn up. Sometimes it seems like bad guys have a tendency to get shot, stabbed, dipped in battery acid, run over by a bus load of escaping prisoners from the state pen, etc etc and not die ,where in a similar situation a grade A good guy gets what might be a grazing shot to any bad guy and winds up DRT. Sometimes its just hard to figure out why it happens that way. |

I hope you are right. Civil suits happen every time up here. |

Musta been a 9mm.. |

It's a shame this didn't get posted in the Hometown Oklahoma forum.

Better outcome than the N.H. grocery robbery. One report said he had to crawl to the getaway car so maybe he's DOA. Keep in mind too that roughly %80 of all gunshots (handgun) are surived.

Breaking News: Armed Robbery Gone Wrong Posted: 3/18/2006 10:25:05 PM Two men walked into the Homeland at 89th and Memorial. They walked up to the cashier, and one of them pulled out a gun, demanding money. That's when a customer pulled out a gun and shot one of the robbers. The robber then began to crawl towards the door. Both men were able to get away in a white four-door Oldsmobile. No word yet how badly the suspect was hurt. The customer who shot the suspect did have a concealed weapons permit. If you have any information about this case, call Crimestoppers. The number is 596-COPS. ------------------------------------ ha-ha! |

Tulsa is currently in the middle of mayoral elections and incumbent Bill LaFortune is already being marked as soft on crime. Hopefully, this will be a factor and the CCW holder won't be prosecuted.
Tulsa Daily World, Sunday March 19th 2006 www.tulsaworld.com/NewsStory.asp?ID=060319_Ne_a19_mansh Man shot during store robbery By SHAUN EPPERSON World Staff Writer 3/19/2006 View in Print (PDF) Format Police say a customer with a concealed-pistol permit shot one of two armed men holding up a Tulsa grocery. A man was shot Saturday evening as he and another man attempted to rob a Homeland store near 91st Street and Memorial Drive, police reported. Two men in dark clothing approached a register around 7:15 p.m and demanded money from employees as one of the men brandished a semi-automatic pistol, Capt. Brett Bai ley said. Shortly afterward, a customer in line nearby pulled out a revolver and shot the man holding the pistol, Bailey said. Police think the customer fired one shot at the robber, he said. Although police don't know where the gunman was wounded, they know that he was hit, Bailey said. "There was blood on the floor," he said. "He definitely was hit." The two bandits then ran into the parking lot and fled in a white four-door sedan, Bailey said. The vehicle possibly was an older model Oldsmobile, police said. Police do not know whether the men got any money from the store, they said. Officers locked down the store and asked everyone inside to give a statement about what they saw, Bailey said. Police said the customer who shot the robber had a license to carry a concealed pistol. Several bystanders were in the store, but no one else was injured, police said. A Homeland employee, Linda Lewis, said she was sacking groceries when she saw two men wearing hoods trying to push their way into a gated area of the store to an office where a safe was located. "I turned around and saw these guys come in with hoods over their faces," she said. She lay down on the floor, she said, because she "knew something was going to happen." Next, she said, she heard gunfire and feared that an employee had been shot. "I heard two shots, and I didn't know if a customer or a robber was shot," she said. "I thought we'd be next." Lewis said she was "scared half to death," adding that she was thankful that no cus tomers or employees had been shot. "If it hadn't been for him (the armed customer), there's no telling what would have happened," she said. Police were searching for two men in connection with the robbery Saturday. Anyone with information about this crime is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 596-COPS. Callers can remain anonymous, and the Crime Commission pays cash rewards for tips leading to the arrest of anyone who commits a felony crime. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shaun Epperson 581-8369 [email protected] |

That needs to go up on billboards. |

Wish I could but I am still in the sandbox til this fall. I am definitely in the mood for a Gun Show though. Got money to burn and nowhere to burn it. CS |
|
|
so, tomorrows headlines will read: "Vigilante fights back as blood floods the streets"
|
|
does OK have a similar law that FL does where if the shoot is deemed to be good, the shooter is immune from all civil penalties?
|

The dude is in bad trouble. He had a revolver rj |
|
|
Nah, if it had been a 45, there would have been chunks of the robber all over the store! Clean up on isle 4, 5, 6, and, 7! |
|||
|
That would only happen if it was a 10mm! |

|
Oklahoma just passed a bill through the Senate that will not allow legally owned weapons to be confiscated during a natural disaster/emergency as did in NO after the hurricane.
Now with this happening and making the news makes me start hummin'...... I'm Proud to be an Okie from Muskogee. literally I'm an NDN too haha |
|
Actually, in OK if you qualify with a semi-automatic pistol, you're allowed to carry a semi-automatic pistol (duh), a derringer, or a revolver. |

Life is good, but it was better then. |
