Restaurant Robbery Foiled By Gun-Packing Customer
August 18, 2006
INDIANAPOLIS -- An armed customer foiled a robbery at a fast-food restaurant on Indianapolis west side on Thursday afternoon, according to Indianapolis police.
Police said William McMiller Jr., 40, ordered a bucket of chicken before demanding money from a cashier and threatening to shoot at the KFC in the 2800 block of West 16th Street.
Police said the clerk didn't understand what McMiller wanted and thought he was asking for a refund.
Investigators said McMiller repeated his demand two more times before the clerk reached for money.
Investigators said that when McMiller began to climb over the counter, Paul Sherlock, a customer in the restaurant at the time, approached from behind and pulled out a Taurus 9mm handgun.
Sherlock held McMiller until police arrived. McMiller was held in the Marion County Jail on Friday. He faces a robbery charge.
Police later determined that McMiller did not have a gun, but did have a long screwdriver. Investigators said Sherlock has a valid gun permit.
I love it when this happens.
And this is important...why?
Journalist: "Hey, Chief! Can I call this an assault rifle??"
I just love these stories!
Because most people are too ignorant to realize that it is LEGAL for people to carry.
Duplicate Post??? I think so.
:) Me 2.
I searched by all kinds of words and didn't see it...where's the link?

Never bring a screw driver to a gun fight.....That's the Chicago way...
bttt
This is no big deal in Indiana. Much like the right to vote, the right to carry is guaranteed and just about as easy to register for.
"...Sherlock has a valid gun permit."
It's rather quite elementary.
Sorry. Seriously could NOT find it before. Maybe when I started it wasn't there yet since I took awhile to post (11 minute diff between that post and mine).
Oh I just hate it when fast food clerks can't undestand what you're saying. They can't even get a robbery right!
Just kidding. Score one for the armed citizenry!
