Guy tries to rob a gun store with a baseball bat, fails miserably

BEAVERTON, Ore. - You've heard the old saying 'don't bring a knife to a gun fight.'

Well how about a bat? Apparently, that doesn't work too well either - just ask 22-year-old Derrick Mosley.

Sheriff's deputies say Mosley walked into Discount Gun Sales on Southwest Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway around 4 p.m. Thursday with a bat in hand and smashed a display case.

But they say when Mosley tried to steal a gun, the store manager simply pulled out his own personal firearm and pointed it straight at the would-be-robber. The manager then yelled some orders at the guy and got him to drop the baseball bat, the gun he had tried to take and a nine-inch long knife he had on him.

When sheriff's deputies arrived, they found Mosley on the floor being held at gunpoint by the manager. They handcuffed Mosley on the spot and took him into custody on charges of first-degree robbery, first-degree theft, unlawful possession of a firearm and second-degree criminal mischief. Bail was set at $250,000.

If this guy would have died in the incident, I think he would be a candidate for the Darwin Award. I guess there is still a chance for him to make it.

This came to mind after I stopped laughing at the added charge of "unlawful possession of a firearm" -- the one he was trying to steal. That is funny.

I'm betting Al Sharpton would have made a martyr out of him and OB would have bemoaned him as the other son he would have had.......

Is there any way to take guys like this and have them draw out the logic-chart that concluded this was a good idea?

I just want to know how that happens in their brain...

What factors were taken into account?
What bit of information provided the conclusion that a smash-and-grab at a gun shop was "viable"?

Just give him a crayon and a butcher-block pad.

Please

It would probably look like a GOP Campaign Strategy...
