Man kills self at Dicks Sporting Goods

[FrugalFannie]

News from The Associated Press

Police say the man entered Dick's Sporting Goods in Fairless Hills on Saturday night and asked to see a shotgun and ammunition. Once the clerk handed those over, the man pulled out a handgun and ordered the worker to undo the shotgun's gun lock.

WTF?!!!

 

[BIG1PUN]

Damn

 

[radioman]

Could have done that at home with the pistol??? Maybe a manifesto will surface with his reasoning?

Probably couldn't find ammo for it.

 

[edhead35]

at least he killed himself and not anyone else

 

[In God We Trust]

Obligatory "this makes us all look bad." gayness.

 

[saltydude]

I swear these people are being brain washed by the anti's.

Lt. Henry Ward says the man had been involved in a standoff with Middletown officers in 2002.

So he was probably carrying illegally. Is this action covered by 2a? This is why crazy people shouldn't be allowed guns. When you become crazy you lose that right. You forfeit the right when you become a nut, or mentally ill. You can't drive blind, so you shouldn't carry crazy.

Ans definitely makes us all look bad, not what we needed.

Story doesn't day whether he used the pistol or the shotgun to off himself.

You're right.

A law definitely would have prevented this from happening.

Let's just make a law right now saying you can't hold up a store or kill yourself.

That'll fix it.

 

[Trouble]

Ammo price sticker shock.

The Dick died at Dick's. This story does not make any sense to me at all.
I guess I should be grateful for that.
Best regards.

Get yourself some shotgun shells!
He was just trying to follow Biden's advice...he just didn't wanna pay. Mentally unstable at it's finest here, very unfortunate. If anything it puts a check in the mental illness column and not the gun problem column though, but that's only because of how it ended.

I'll show me!!!!!!

And life goes on.

Wow. You really need to go back to the nuthouse that you escaped from and stop pretending you support the 2A.

 

[hminsky]

Just to be 'fair and balanced'. it would be nice if the media ran four million stories about people walking into sporting goods shops and buying shotgun shells and walking out.

 

[Trouble]

He got the terminator 1 scene reenactment all wrong. Thrown off by their lack of uzi 9mms clearly.

 

[06LemansC6]

The pistol was probably a fake or pellet gun.

you're under the assumption that A, the gun was loaded, or B it was a real gun, could have grabbed a bb guns from wallmart and used it to get the real deal

makes more sense of the story.

lol Damn it... thought they let me out of the nut house because I was cured... is it ok if I still carry though?

 

[joncaparso]

Great that no one else was hurt.

Thankfully he didn't ask for the AR or a glock. Maybe Biden influenced himself to use the shotgun.

I'm surprised it wasn't edited to:

Authorities say he entered Dick's Sporting Goods in Fairless Hills after 7 p.m. Saturday and asked to see a military style fully auto assault rifle and imploding upon impact ammunition. McCarpy pulled out another military style fully auto assault rifle - later found to be loaded with ultra killy exploding bullets - and ordered the worker to undo the military style fully auto assault rifles gun lock. He then barricaded himself inside a bathroom.

Why would someone want to commit suicide at Dick's of all places? If I decided to blow my brains out, I'd go somewhere nice, like a good restaurant and wait until after dessert.

Unpossible. We all know Dick's doesn't sell those anymore.

 

[Fixxah]

Can't wait to hear the family lawyer talking suit. For the children.

 

[Finalygotabeltfed]

And, they'll probably close this Dick's Sporting Goods. No loss as we're all boycotting them for being dicks anyway right?

Yep. I'd want to kill myself too if I was in a DSG.

 

[ToddDubya]

Sounds like he did the whole murder/suicide thing correctly. He did the suicide part first, so his family was spared. He wanted notoriety so he did it publicly.

It sucks for the poor folks at Dick's who A. had to be part of it and B. have to deal with the aftermath.

 

[seth72]

is it ok if I still carry though?

I feel that you have the right to carry so long as you are not imprisoned. Too bad you don't feel the same way about your fellow Americans.

Yeah. I wouldn't want to have to clean that bathroom.
