Man Tries to Rob Gun Shop with Toy Pistol

I sure miss the Great Depression.

PARIS (Reuters) – Armed with a toy pistol, a would-be robber picked himself an unlikely target in central Paris — a gun shop.



Staff at the Armurerie Gare de l’Est in the French capital immediately identified the weapon as harmless. The 26-year-old Mauritanian was subsequently arrested, Le Parisien newspaper reported on Friday.







He was unlucky — earlier this year a fake rocket launcher was successfully used in a break-out from a prison on the unruly Mediterranean island of Corsica.







A member of staff at the gun shop confirmed there had been a robbery attempt, but declined to give further details.

Idiot! HAhaha!


What kind of Gun Shop would actually be in downtown Paris? They knew it was a toy guy so quickly because they probably SOLD toy guys.



See folks, we have it all wrong. They french aren’t cowards, they are just disarming themselves down the foodchain.
