A gunman shot a convenience store owner in the abdomen during an apparent robbery this afternoon in Kansas City.

The victim was shot while trying to intervene in the robbery of a couple in the parking lot about 3:15 p.m. at the Food Shop at Gregory Boulevard and Cleveland Avenue, police said.

Well, it would appear that an Australian jewelry designer is more bad-ass than a convenience store owner from Kansas. The differences are obvious! Of course, you know how those Auzzies are!

So a fist beat a loaded weapon ? although I am happy for this guy this ( if true ) isn't the norm , if a criminal pulls a gun he usually isn't going to lode to a unaremed man thats just fact

jafar must think being down under is a license for people who think they can catch .44 magnum bullets in their teeth like....

Crocodile Dundee...the OZ Superman character. And even he could never make his knife win against bullets.

Handguns are forbidden in Australia.

works so well that the store owner only had his fist left to defend himself with.

but shouldn't cops get him to turn them in as assault weapons as well?
Jafar do you know how many people die each year from fist fights?!!

Even a single punch can be as lethal as a bullet.

“I’m not certain if 20-something kids realize how much damage they can cause,” said Chris Cross, who does happen to know.
Cross teaches defense tactics for the San Diego Regional Public Safety Training Institute. Delivered with enough force, blows to the head, neck, spine, kidney and groin can cause serious damage, even death, he said.

Brian Walsh, a former Navy pilot, has two permanent metal plates in the left side of his face. Walsh can’t chew food on that side. He suffers headaches.
All from a punch to the face.....Fists can kill and do, but there has been no increase in the number of people dying from weapon-less fights. In 2005, 892 such deaths were tallied nationally, compared with 927 in 2000.

how can you read this info and not agree that banning fist is the right thing to do?
how many people REALLY can defend themselves with there fist.
very few.
it takes training. and strengh.
was that store owner trained??,
he looks out of shape at least.
only police and military should be in good physical shape. It's to dangerous for men to be in shape.
The Aussies are crazy, with your fist culture.
Fist are assault weapons. only the gov't should have them.

Let's ask jafar. After all. He's the one who has been scolding all of us Americans about gun control.

What do you think jafar? What about all of your claims concerning how wonderful OZ is...with gun control?

If your statements, and declarations are SO TRUE. Why did that fella show up with a PISTOL?????

Of course the gun control laws in OZ work. After all, the only way that criminal could have gotten a gun in OZ is illegally, and we know the gun control laws in OZ prevent that.

So, I guess the story is a fake, and Jahil is a liar.

Unless of course he'd care to admit that gun control laws do not stop criminals from getting guns.

Did you read the part where the gun he had was a replica, and not a real one?

If we had the same dumb ass gun laws as the US, it might have been a real one because it would have been easy to get one.
