I stopped in to take a look at some empty shelves today at one of my local toy shops and got to talking to the owner. He was telling me that he had had a regular customer in the store Monday looking at a new $1,200 1911 and was shooting the bull with him. He said he turned around to take care of something and when he turned back around the customer and the 1911 were out the door.
The other guy that works at the shop (very small shop) ran after the guy immediately. Normally this guy (the one with the 1911) moves rather slow but this time he was motivated and was in his car backing away when the guy from the shop tried to stop him. He slowed momentarily, got a real distressed look on his face, then drove off.
The police still haven't been to the guys house as of this afternoon. Maybe they know it's a federal matter and haven't really followed up on it.
I still can't wrap my head around why someone would toss their life in the toilet over a $1,200 gun. I think he said that prison time for this was something like ten years.
The times, they are a changin'.
