http://armedselfdefense.blogspot.com/2012/01/victims-fight-back-victims-24-armed.htmlHSBC BANKS have posted "No Guns" signs on the front doors of all their branches. But, they might just have well have posted this sign.
This armed robber ignored the "No Guns" sign and policy at the HSBC Bank located at 2215 43rd in New York. However, he accidentally fired his gun and and everyone hit the floor. That was enough to scare him and he fled the bank.
HE IS STILL ON THE RUN FROM THE LAW
However, other armed robbers, burglars, and other criminals carrying guns were not lucky enough to get away.
A Broward County, Florida man should have gone for a day at Hollywood Beach instead of trying to break into a car. Instead of getting stolen property, alleged burglar, 21 year old Antonio Santana (pictured below), got the attention of its owner. Santana was rifling through the car when the owner, armed with a handgun went outside of the house to where the car was parked to see what was happening. The owner told police that he feared for his life because it appeared to him that Santana was going for a weapon. He then shot Santana twice in the leg. Santana had an open arrest warrant for him for theft. He was in a wheelchair when he made his first court appearance.
The arraigning Judge told him that since he got himself shot, it was just the cost of doing business for committing a crime.

A Belle Glade, Florida jewelry store clerk at Osvilda jewelers got lucky when an armed robber trio entered his store. One of the criminals drew a gun, and pulled the trigger.

The three men ran out of the store into the back of a waiting getaway van.
And, another robber’s gun misfired last month at a Kangaroo store in Orange County, Florida. Two black men went into the store wearing masks and carrying guns.
