Indiana store owner stops armed robbery with his own gun

[Button Pusher]

Stinson said he could tell the gun aimed at his back wasn't loaded, so he reached for his own weapon in the back room.
“I knew when he pulled the hammer back on the automatic weapon there wasn’t a bullet in the chamber," Stinson said, "I know the sound.”

Say what?

 

[georgel]

Yeah, what? The only thing I can think of is the sound of the slide racking a round. You can kinda tell the difference.

Unfortunately, the USMC neglected to teach that difference to me and neither did the agencies I worked for. Upon reflection, I think that store owner is as full of shit as a Christmas turkey and pretty stooopid too.

Hmmmm ... coulda been another “empty” gun killing someone ... I see all firearms as loaded period. I don’t care if it’s a revolver and I see empty chambers ... the one cycled in could be. I don’t care if there’s no mag in the firearm ... there could be one in the chamber. I D I O T !!!

And this idiot knew the sound of the hammer on an automatic weapon on an empty gun? He had his “forty” and chased after him in a vehicle? This yahoo is cruising for a bad ending someway or other.

 

[Button Pusher]

Got to give him a +1 extra credit for not shooting because his rounds would have exited the store.

Heck of gamble to take with your life based on a sound.

"Stinson said he plans to put a bullet stopper in front of his window in case an incident happens again."

Wth?

 

[georgel]

Obviously, he's delusional. Back away slowly.

 

[fishgutzy]

My FNX45 sounds the same cocking the hammer chambered or not chambered.
Very lucky guy. Probably wasn't chambered. Or maybe a bb gun.

 

[Schattenreiter]

The only sound I am sure of that indicates a loaded weapon is BANG

I could have killed him over $10....
The amount of cash the thief could have taken is IRRELEVANT.
The thief made a conscious effort commit a violent felony.
That retard, who has seen one too many Eastwood movies, still should have shot the thief.
Unless the thief racked the slide, and then racked it again, there is no way to “hear” a chamber isn’t loaded.

 

[Button Pusher]

Perhaps he did not want his store burned to the ground?

This here is why I carry a fotay. It's damn near unstoppable.
