Teens in Muslim burkas try to rob Delco gun shop (Delaware County, PA)
Philadelphia Daily News ^ | 01/02/2014 | William Bender

Most teenagers do dumb things. But not trying-to-rob-Joe-Galiano dumb.

Who is Joe Galiano? He's the owner of Suburban Armory, the gun shop on MacDade Boulevard in Collingdale Borough, Delaware County. He is surrounded by guns, including the one on his hip. Like his .45-caliber pistol. Can't miss it.

Despite this fact, police say two teenagers dressed in burkas walked into his store this afternoon, pulled a gun on Galiano and tried to stick him up. Galiano, less than thrilled about having a man in female Muslim garb pointing a silver handgun at him inside his own store, decided not to comply, but instead to make use of his own gun.

You just can’t fix stupid. Even if they live to be 100, these two morons will die fools.

The robbers identities being protected due to juvenile status, I’m willing they could have been 0dung0 thirty years ago.

I’m betting they got the burkas from their mothers or sisters.

I think the Shop Owner knew what he was dealing with and purposely missed to scare the Yoots.

If he felt like he was defending his Life, the Magazine of his Pistol would have been emptied.

He saved lives. Hopefully the owners of the lives he saved will realize how close they were to Death and will change their ways, after Prison of course.

I’m not the only one around here that foresaw criminals using these things to hide their identities, once we started accepting them as acceptable dress in our society.

Is he sure they were Burkas or just normal urban ethnic minority street Hoodies?

“Too bad they didn’t die on the spot.”

I wonder if they’ve already spawned and infected the gene pool.

Range time and adrenalin time are two different things.

Was friends with the owner of Abington Gun Store in Montgo. county Pa.

He could knock the sox off a flea at 100 yards. Good shot, very proficient.

He was NO wuzz. He was opening the store at 9:30 AM and got jumped by three street monkeys with hand cannons blasting in all directions.

After it was all said and done, he did manage to get off a few shots, but he was so rattled by adrenaline that it was really just shots in the wild.

Fortunately, he was not injured because the street monkeys were high as kites.

One monkey jumped over the neighbor's fence, (bar owner) [72 years old] who took a shot and hit him. He layed down and cried for "help." (bullet scraped his leg)

A wild day in Abington, Pa. All three were rounded up. Store owner, (a REALLY GOOD SHOT) sold the store to a friend two months later. The whole ordeal changed his mission in life.

Bottom line, you NEVER know what will happen. You train, train, train. The UNEXPECTED happens, and it changes your whole outlook.

Well, sometimes you just can’t fix STUPID. Remember, these were Delaware kids.

What kind of kids, besides very stupid and very lucky, we don’t know now, but drug users comes to mind.

Wonder if Boy Biden will have them prosecuted properly?
