Seems some idiot tried robbing a convenience store in ruralish Georgia. It didn’t go well for him.
Georgia robbery suspect wearing panties on his face subdued by trio of armed customers: reports
Georgia police arrested a woman and a man wearing panties on his face on Monday after an attempted robbery at a gas station store was brought to a screeching halt by three armed customers, according to reports.
Customer sees what’s happening, and draws his gun. Another customer notices the action and goes to his vehicle to get his own. A third customer, pumping gas, sees it and grabs his gun to join the fun.
Robbery comes to screechin’ halt.
Last time I checked, something like 1 in 10 Georgians has a concealed carry license. Not 1 in 10 adults; 1 in 10 of every man, woman, and child. Now consider that Georgia is a constitutional carry state — not just “open carry” as that article says — and that licenses aren’t even required. (Back when I first moved to Georgia some thirty-odd years ago, maybe one-fourth to one-third of those I knew carried bothered with a license; imagine what the ratio must be like now that licenses are optional.)
And Elijay is a rural-to-small-town area. I’d expect that the percentage of people carrying is a little higher than the statewide average.
At some point, the smarter criminals are finally going to notice that their would-be targets tend to be well armed. Maybe they’ll learn to restrict their fun and games to the urban blights like Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah.
The others, less bright, will go extinct.
