Oh Shoot

Thursday, July 5th, 2007 • Filed under Other

Remember that scene from “The Untouchables” with Sean Connery? I’ll never forget when he said, “Never bring a knife to a gun store fight.” It’s funny because it’s true.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (TVNZ.CO.NZ) — A knife-wielding intruder has been arrested after storming the same Auckland gun shop where a man was shot almost a year ago.

Witnesses say the man was suicidal and wanted to be shot, but instead police pepper sprayed the intruder, and when that did not work, used a taser gun.

How does that Rolling Stone song go? “You can’t always get what you want. You can’t always get what you need. But if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.”

Apparently, the man went up to the desk and showed the man the knife saying that he wanted to be shot. The store worker said that wasn’t that kind of gun shot. I’m sure if he were in the states, our gun store owners would have been more than accomodating. Hell, he probably wouldn’t even have to ask.

Instead, he got pepper sprayed and then tazered because the pepper spray didn’t work. They then charged him for the pepper spray.

Just one comment...
why don't you add your own?

    He wanted to be shot, soooo…. he asked for it? Seriously dude, just threated the f***er’s life, evade the pepper spray and taser, and try to make your head/chest easily aimable. Geez.
