Guns > Darwin Award Winner: Guy Who Tried to Rob Gunstore

Snopes has the skinny on the Darwin Award winner who robbed a gun store. The version that's floating around is somewhat exaggerated, but how stupid do you have to be to commit armed robbery in a gunstore? Where I shoot, all of the employees open carry guns on their belts, and you can bet a lot of the customers are strapped. And if the customers in the retail area aren't packing, the customers on the indoor firing range sure are.

Yep. At our local gunstore/range, the employees are armed. However, customers' firearms are supposed to be unloaded until the get onto the range; this includes any concealed handguns.

same rule here where i shoot, though i am not sure how many follow that rule.

If i was ever in a gun shop and it got robbed, i would immedeatly hit the floor and cover my head. I would not even be a good witness.
