[quote:Resister:MV8yMTA3MjkxXzM1NTIwNDMyX0I1NTQ3RkNG] My step dad use to manage a gas station and often had to go out there to cover 3rd shift when someone called in sick or something. One night all alone a guy walked in holding a rolled up news paper, looked around a bit, walked up to the counter and said, "You know, somebody could just walk in here and rob you." To which my step-dad replied, "That's why I have this", as he brought his 1911 up from underneath the counter and set it down. The guy took off running and never came back. My step-dad never even pointed it at the would be robber or threatened the man. Just revealing that he was armed was enough. [/quote]

Authorities say a Florida Panhandle man has been arrested after he tried to rob a convenience store with a cattle prod but was thwarted by a clerk with a gun.
The Leon County Sheriff's Office says 26-year-old Lance Tomberlin went into a store just outside Tallahassee on January 2, produced the cattle prod and demanded money from the clerk. Officials say he shocked the clerk several times before the clerk pulled a handgun.
