As a registered gun owner, I have to dis-agree that a baseball bat, pepper spray, or *plastic* bullets would be just as effective. Do people seriously believe this? What about the woman this past week who was hiding, as I recall, in an attic crawlspace in an upstairs bathroom. She unloaded her gun on the intruder, killing him. If she had used any of the afore mentioned items, I'm afraid the … more ›

Afternoon hold-up foiled as the man runs away.
A man attempted to rob the Piccadilly Restaurant in Tucker on Wednesday afternoon by pointing a gun at staff and demanding money. But then he lost his nerve and ran away.
