Re: East County gas station robbed at gunpoint
Another reason to NOT be afraid of guns, but instead, GET AN EDUCATION!
Anybody with average eyesight, 1/2 a brain & a little gun knowledge could easily see from the tiny diameter of the barrel bore that it was a toy.
First rule of a gun fight? Have a gun, not a toy.
"Jokes on you!"
