Police: Craigslist robbery goes awry as buyer, seller come armed..

[Squaredout]

B.S.

Arrested the victim?

Easy to suggest being a good victim when the gun isn't pointed at YOU.

True words have never been spoken.

G&S Reason #1,345,567A: I frequently purchase items off of Craigslist.

The robber should be real easy to find. He dropped his gun. They just need to check the serial number to get his name. If the serial number was damaged when he dropped his gun, they could go to the shell casings that they have collected to get this robbers information.

Unless the gun was stolen...

Well, it seems that the trouble began when she called the MD police? I may be very wrong on this, but logically, it seems like her calling the police is actually when this became a problem...

And if a gun has to come out, then it should not be fired for anything other than its intended purpose.

No, check with the MD democratic party. Those things never really happen. The thugs didn't let you go because they thought you might be armed, they let you go because they remembered their Head Start Program anger-management and problem-solving exercises.

Dont forget they were possibly getting close to a "gun Free" zone so they had to back off

Unless a new school was built since I was there, these folks were not in a GFSZ. Thank goodness the school did not have a DFSZ ( dog free). BTW anyone notice how low Mosher st is- there's a creek under there.

When I roll up on a craigslist deal, I make sure I'm packing some heat, son.

Actually, her trouble began with doing a Craigslist transaction involving a large sum of cash in an unsecure location (Brainless act #1); then having a concealed weapon illegally (#2), then calling police (even though being a victim) while having an illegal weapon and illegally and foolishly discharging it into the air multiple times(#3). Sometimes it's impossible to fix stupid, that's what Baltimore's all about

You must not endanger criminals in this state. Remember, about half of your legislators depend upon them for a living!

And the other half ARE the criminals!

+1 !!!

As crappy as it is that we cannot legally carry, I view this particular incident as being very detrimental to law abiding citizens like us waiting patiently to try and get the laws corrected.

This woman was illegally carrying, and then proceeded to fire into the air in a major city. She is an absolute idiot, and sadly public stories like this make a very bad impression on people. I am sure gun control nuts are thinking "wow if the woollard temp stay is lifted, we'll have these crazy people firing into the air everywhere!"

I feel the exact same way every time an jerk on a sport bike flies around traffic and drives way too fast and aggressively on the highway. It makes a very bad impression of sport bike riders everywhere. I ride my my Ducati's safely, responsibly, and legally, and it's offensive to be associated with people like that. Same way one stupid woman simply add fuel to the gun control nuts fire.

I would hope MSI helps this women out.

And Lloyd, I am sorry but I entirely disagree. I don't think MSI should even consider tarnishing it's name by making a statement in that womans defense. She was illegally carrying! And she is VERY lucky that she didn't hurt any innocent people by firing into the air!

Can you imagine what kind of gun control propaganda would be overflowing on every single news outlet if she had accidentally shot someone while firing into the air??!!

My personal opinion would be that no MSI statement on the matter is necessary or prudent. If one were to be considered, I would only support it if it condemned her for seriously endangering the public by not controlling her illegally carried firearm!

This woman is the personification of the problem. All she is doing is making a bad impression and adding fuel to the gun control fire!

This type of thing happens all over the place. The advice given to meet in a highly populated area is just as bad as meeting in a dark alley. I agree with a previous post, this looks like thug-on-thug crime. I wonder if she intended to steal the car without paying? I wonder if the police checked her to see if she had the cash available? If not, then she was up to no good also.

You're sarcasm-impaired, aren't you.
