Men take Toys ‘R’ Us dispute outside to settle with guns: ‘They’re shooting — lock the store down’

Men take Toys ‘R’ Us dispute outside to settle with guns: ‘They’re shooting — lock the store down’

Two men took their dispute outside a Michigan toy store to settle the argument with firearms.

An employee at Toys ‘R’ Us in Flint Township said she heard multiple gunshots about 5 p.m. Monday while working the cash register, reported MLive.

“I heard the gunshots. It was about three or four of them. One of the managers came to the door and was, like, ‘They’re shooting. Lock the store down,'” said cashier Tequila Roberson. “It basically happened in front of my register from the outside.”

Thank God the "good guys with guns" didn't kill any innocent bystanders in the parking lot with a stray bullet...this time.

Stand your Ground with Open Carry

There was also the case a couple of months ago where a woman with a concealed carry permit saw some suspected shoplifters running in a crowded parking lot and opened fire! This is what the gun humpers pray for - a chance to be judge, jury and most especially executioner. Shoplifting, a crime against property, certainly calls for deadly force!

They have more angst to get out of their systems, before they go back to doing nothing about gun control for months on end.

After all, an underage criminal felon with an illegal gun is a "law abiding gun owner" according to their posts.

This way they can all feel morally superior since now they've "done something" about gun control.

Not as much fun with "facts in evidence" I guess?

But typical of the perseverance level of the gun control crowd.
