Too Many Guns a crime spree in February in Washington state was not thought through, as the would-be robber chose H&J Leather & Firearms as his target for money. Beyond choosing a gun shop as his target, he chose to strike during opening hours, when the shop was full of firearms customers and owners. Lastly, the robber had to step past a marked police car parked at the front door. Once the robber saw the officer, the announced the hold-up and fired a few shots. Let us remind you again that this hold-up was taking place in a gun shop, where he walked in and fired shots. So after the would-be robber fired his shots, the officer and a clerk fired back, as did several customers with guns. The robber was killed, but no one else was hurt. Copyright Janet Kuypers.
