A guard shot one of three suspects who tried to hold up an armored car outside a bank in southeast Houston.

It happened at the Bank of America on the Gulf Freeway near Almeda Genoa. Police were called there around 11:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Bank employees said three men tried to rob the armored car.....

Every time I see an armored car doing a pick or drop, I speed up a little bit more as I walk past.

They are trouble magnets.

Yup, me too. My situational awareness is in high gear when I`m around them doing a pickup.

It seems most of the time robbers get shot they never die. I think people need to start carrying 10mm at a minimum. We cant have all these robbers getting away.

Putting bullets in the center of mass helps a lot more than another .05" of diameter and 200 fps more.

Exactly, that is why they should have been using those heat seeking bullets.

Hmmm… Heat seeking incendiary bullets? We should FULLY support this wackjob and her bill. Personally, I have NO problem with banning a bullet that would seek itself out and then destroy itself… I'd spend my money on bullets that actually EXIST...

Only if they're fired from an assault weapon with a barrel shroud - y'know, the shoulder thing that goes up?
