I thought any sane human being would conclude that it is a really bad idea to let four year olds have access to firearms.

Apparently, it is a more or less self-correcting problem.  :hmm:

It's amazing it was required with a .45.

And another example why I don't have a gun :P

Far more likely to get shot myself than I would ever use it against a bad guy.

QuoteA customer shot and killed a hatchet-wielding man attacking a clerk at a convenience store in Burien Sunday morning.

By Rachel Lerman
Seattle Times staff reporter
A customer shot and killed a hatchet-wielding man attacking a clerk at a convenience store in Burien on Sunday morning.

About 5:45 a.m., a masked man about 40 years old walked into a 7-Eleven store near South 110th Street and Eighth Avenue South and swung a hatchet at a customer, said King County Sheriff's Sgt. Cindi West. The man then went behind the counter and attacked the 58-year-old clerk, never saying anything.


Within seconds, a customer pulled out a handgun and shot and killed the attacker, likely saving the clerk's life, West said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The 60-year-old customer buys coffee from the store almost every morning, West said, and he sits and chats with the clerks. He has a permit to carry a concealed handgun, West said.

The clerk who was attacked told a KIRO 7 reporter that he would have been killed had it not been for the customer. The regular customer is a "very nice" guy, the clerk said.

The clerk has a minor injury on his stomach, West said.

The identities of the three people involved were not released.

An investigation is continuing.
