An armed robber tries to hold up a gun store and runs into the unexpected. If more store owners took measures like this, there would be far fewer robberies.
Did you notice that robber looked directly into the camera before he pulled his gun? While don't you smile for the camera, putz?

Emergency officials warned everyone to find shelter during Tropical Storm Fay, but perhaps a Fort Lauderdale man decided that the warning did not apply to him.
26-year-old Kevin Kearney was thrill seeking while kite surfing in the rough surf off Fort Lauderdale beach Monday when Tropical Storm Fay decided to take Kearney for a ride.
A strong gust of wind from Fay hurtled down the beach and caught Kearney and his kite by surprise.
The wind slammed Kearney into the sandy beach, and then just as quickly picked him up again dragging him across the beach, across the street and then smashed him into the side of a nearby building.
It was almost as if the storm had a mind of its own and decided to punish the kite surfer for daring to surf while Fay was in town.
Said WFOR Engineer Anthony Romano who was nearby filming the wrath of the storm, "I'm surprised he didn't get hit by a car because we have (highway) A1A right here. I think it was a miracle that he just flew over the street and into the thing."
WFOR photographer Yuseith Osorio thought that Kearney was carried away by a forming waterspout. "Basically, we were getting ready to go live and I saw something forming up in the sky. I told Pete, 'Hey, careful, something's forming.'"
Witnesses to the event quickly ran to aid the injured Kearney, who lay on the ground crumpled up and in pain. Paramedics soon arrived at the scene and transported Kevin to Broward General Medical Center where he is listed in critical condition. Kevin’s friends insist he will make a full recovery.
Kearney's family released a statement saying, "Kevin is an experienced kite-boarder and an all around great guy. We ask that you keep Kevin in your prayers and respect our privacy."
Kearney was harnessed into his sail but the harness does have emergency releases. But it is possible that everything happened so fast that he had no time to think about releasing the harness.

Maggie Gyllenhaal plays Rachel Dawes in the latest Batman flick, The Dark Knight, a film that is transforming the film industry's concept of the term blockbuster hit.
The movie has already generated over $455 million in ticket sales since it was released on July 18, 2008.
That pushed it to third on the US all time money making list for blockbuster films.
Gyllenhaal's character, Rachel Dawes, grew up with Bruce Wayne, Batman's alter ego, and in this film we find her in the district attorney's office as a lawyer fighting crime .
The film's plot pits super hero and crime fighter, Batman, played by Christian Bale, against the Joker, a super criminal played by the recently deceased Heath Ledger.
Because much of the film manifests the adversarial relationship between Batman and the Joker along with displaying all of their remarkable "gadgets," the equally remarkable Gyllenhaal receives much less screen time than she deserves.
Maggie has said, "I want roles that challenge people to question where they are in life," which certainly explains why she jumped at the opportunity to play Sherry Swanson in SherryBaby.
In what promises to be at best a most bizarre story, Ozark, Missouri, police tased 16-year-old Mace Hutchinson 19 times while he lay on the pavement with a broken back and a broken heel in his foot.
Ozark police defended their actions because the officers felt that the injured boy was a threat to the officers.
"There's no way that they had to tase me that many times," said Mace Hutchinson.
Capt. Thomas Rousset said, "He refused to comply with the officers and so the officers had to deploy their tasers in order to subdue him. He is making incoherent statements; he's also making statements such as, 'Shoot cops, kill cops,' things like that. So there was cause for concern to the officers."
Because they were attempting to rescue the 16-year-old Hutchinson and secure his safety, police said that their use of a taser should not be questioned. "It's a big concern for the officers to keep this guy out of traffic, to keep him from getting hurt," said Rousset.
The Hutchinson boy had been walking along a freeway overpass above US Highway 65, when a concerned citizen called 9-1-1 because he feared for the boy's safety.
When police arrived they found Hutchinson incoherent and lying on the pavement of Highway 65. It appears that Hutchinson had fallen from the overpass onto the shoulder of Highway 65 below and had suffered severe injuries in the fall--injuries that included a broken back.
When Hutchinson would not make a coherent response to police questions other than "shoot cops, kill cops," they tased him repeatedly. They tased him again, and again, and again, and again. They tased him a total of 19 times.
Police did not explain how repeated tasing of an incoherent subject would make the subject coherent. Nor did police explain how someone with a broken back lying on the highway is a threat to police officers. And police did not explain how tasing someone 19 times will prevent him from sustaining further injury.
Police did say that their use of a taser 19 times should not be questioned.
Mace Hutchinson's family does not understand how the police can justify tasing Mace once, let alone 19 times. His aunt Samantha said, "I'm not an officer, but I don't see the reason for tasing somebody lying there with a broken back. I don't consider that a threat."
Samantha also said that doctors felt that "all injuries are consistent with a fall."
Mace's father, Don, insists that Mace fell onto the pavement and did not jump; however, no one knows why he fell.
Said Don Hutchinson, "They tested his system. He was clean of drugs and alcohol. We don't know why unless just being in shock and the whole thing in itself caused him to forget everything."
The family is still questioning police actions. Don Hutchinson claims that surgery, which Mace critically needed, had to be delayed for two days because of the tasing.
"The Tasing increased his white blood cell count and caused him to have a temperature so they could not go into the operation," Mr. Hutchinson said.
After surgery Mace was eventually released and is now at home still lying in bed and barely able to move. "It should be a couple months before I'm able to walk on my own," said Mace.
Mace cannot remember how he ended up on the pavement under the bridge. He knows he didn't willingly jump.
"I know I'm lucky to survive that far of a fall."
Police say Hutchinson was aggressive with them and tried to get up and get into traffic. However, Mace counters that he weighs little and wonders why police simply did not restrain him.
Police also claim Mace made threatening remarks about harming officers. The combination of Mace’s aggression and remarks were why they used the stun gun.
Mace does not remember trying to get up and doesn't know how it would have been possible considering his injuries.
"There's no way I could stand up. I had a broken back and a broken foot," Mace said.
The Ozark police have begun an internal probe of the incident.
"I definitely want them to get punished, I don't want them to get away with it," Mace said.
A completely naked Eva Mendes is featured in a Calvin Klein commercial that was planned to be shown on US TV. The ad shows the 34-year-old Eva sprawled on a bed with rumpled sheets strategically covering her crotch and breasts except for a short little snippet where one nipple can be seen for a brief second.
Naturally, the major US networks have declined to show the ad to the US viewers and have banned it from being aired altogether.
Fabien Baron, who is the creative director for the ad campaign, has feigned outrage and claims to be flabbergasted that the commercial has been banned.
Said Baron, “You must be kidding me. This country really needs a new president — this country is so messed up. It’s such a joke and it’s quite upsetting, frankly, how hypocritical this country has become. It’s OK for children to see people killed by guns? Spreading a little love right now would be a good idea.
“She is being a little sexy, but they (the commercial spots) are not provocative. They are really well done. The spot is really beautiful — I really can’t believe this is happening.…I don’t know what else to say.”
If you are familiar with Eva Mendes, a shot of the actress completely covered in a snowmobile suit would be provocative because the woman has a hot, sultry quality about her that just brings out the “T” in testosterone in men.
Of course, the decision makers at Calvin Klein knew the ad would be banned and planned their complete ad campaign with that in mind. Calvin Klein will run an abbreviated version without the “outrageous” nipple exposure, and it will receive more publicity from the banning of the commercial spot than it could ever have purchased.
After all, we are talking about the same USA that was outraged when Janet Jackson briefly flashed her breast at half time during the Super Bowl. The folks at Calvin Klein will be flabbergasted about this banning all the way to the bank.
