Okay, here is a question I have.

Armed robber with a customized Glock. Definitely not a cheap pistol.
Armed robber has the proficiency to keep his finger off the trigger the whole time. No matter what is happening, his finger rests where it should be.

I wonder if he has had any sort of training?

If he had, he might have had a round in the chamber.

A custom pistol isn’t evidence of training, particularly when it’s stolen.

While shooting him would warm our hearts she would likely have faced charges- SHE has the gun....HE is no longer armed.

Hopefully not the case in Kentucky but one never knows.

If he is coming to take the gun from her, he gets shot in the chest. Anyone who keeps coming after you point the gun at them with your finger on the trigger has made their intent abundantly clear.
Send it.

If you want to learn about $3000 Glocks just list a nice pistol or rifle for sale on Armslist. You'll have 4-5 of $3000 Glock owners dying to trade their custom pistols the first hour.

That he didn't might have been intentional. He probably wasn't looking to get into a shoot out, just intimidate his victims into handing over the money. Accidentally killing someone during a robbery is a stupid way to end up with life in prison. Then again armed robbery isn't so bright either.

So what evidence do you have that she would face charges?

I hear this repeated often as a FACT but I’m curious to what you know about the KRS/court system/LE in Paducah that I do not?

Which KRS would she have violated? Please, be specific. What agency would have charged her? Who would prosecute it?

I ll save you the effort. This is rumor and urban legend that passes as FACT that many of the concealed carry insurance (that’s not actually insurance) feed on fears and make a shit load of money off of. Yeah, if you live in CA, you MIGHT catch a charge. But even there, it’s highly unlikely. But, people are conditioned by the “i was just minding my own business....(ominous music)” gunfighter insurance ads on YouTube.

I work in this area and can tell you for a fact that there is NO WAY she would have caught a charge.

Dudes in custody. I’ll post more later

Wow....i had not planned to be cross-examined on a supposition. Though I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express this week, I am not a lawyer nor do I have any knowledge of case law.

I did note "hopefully not in Kentucky".....a search of the Web will result in many such happenings in luvly liberal bastions.....both domestically and overseas.

Welp, I'm trying to gather some more information, but it appears that the clerk was fired for refusing to be a victim.

And the bad guy is in custody.

PADUCAH - A Paducah man has been arrested in connection to Monday night's hotel robbery.

The Paducah Police Department followed up on a Tuesday arrest by the McCracken County Sheriff's Department after a traffic stop. Deputies said 26-year-old Cory Phillips had committed several traffic violations and was reportedly nervous. Deputies say they found a laptop that had been previously reported stolen, as well as a shirt similar to one police officers had recovered at the scene of the attempted robbery of Country Inn and Suites on McBride Lane.

That robbery attempt was thwarted by a hotel clerk who grabbed the suspect's pistol when he put it on the counter so he could place cash in a bag. The man fled the scene in a dark-colored car.

Along with the shirt, police say they found a University of Alabama sock hat, similar to one worn by the robbery suspect. Police also say the gun had been reported stolen by the same person who reported the stolen laptop.

After hearing about these similarities, a Paducah Police detective interviewed Phillips and charged him with 1st-degree robbery and receiving a stolen firearm.

Phillips was taken to McCracken County Regional Jail.

From the traffic stop, he faces charges of possession of a controlled substance, driving on a suspended license, receiving stolen property valued under $10,000, possession of drug paraphernalia and failure to wear a seat belt.

Three grand worth of Glock and not three cents worth of brains.

"Paducah" is a comedy word. Paducah. Keokuk. Spatula. Spatula's a comedy word. Sorry, never mind.

I am so glad they decided to charge him with failing to wear a seatbelt. That's the cherry on top.

I bet you know someone in the community that would be willing to hire her. Those corporate cowards should be ashamed. I don't think we should do a GoFundMe but getting her a better job would feel pretty good.

Now that I think about it, I would be more than happy to throw some cash in the hat if OpSpec wanted to offer her a Practical Fundamentals class. She has plenty of guts. Her technique could use some polishing.

I mean, it kinda says it all right there, doesn't it? All that under his belt and he's rolling around without a seatbelt on lol.

Not a bad plan. I think I'd be in favor of a few letters to her former employer as well.

What could possibly add up to 3 grand on a Glock?

Glock on the street = $300. K-Y Jelly = $12. Eventual Bond = $2,688.
