Gun Owner Shames Knife-Wielding Robber: ‘Just Leave Your Knife Here and Leave’

Feb. 7, 2013 7:28pm Jason Howerton

A knife-wielding criminal attempted to hold up a convenience store in Millcreek, Utah on Monday, but left with no money and no dignity. After the robber pulled out his knife and demanded the contents in the register, the store owner said “no,” drew his handgun and generously offered the crook the chance to run.

The robbery suspect, identified as 28-year-old Mexican national Luis Guiterrez Gonzales entered the Tesoro convenience store at around 11:47 a.m. Monday.

Gun Owner Shames Knife Wielding Robber: Just Leave Your Knife Here and Leave

“He just walked all the way over here, pulled out his knife and said, ‘Hey, open the register and give me your money.’ I thought, ‘Wow,’ ” the store owner and clerk, Ahmed Nazir, said.

He then told the crook bluntly, “no… I’m not going to do that.” The next thing the criminal saw was the barrel of a .45 cal handgun.

“I pulled out my gun and I said, ‘Just leave your knife here and leave the store.’ And he left,” Nazir added.

Gonzales gladly fled the scene of the crime. He even left his knife with Nazir as he requested.

“Nazir called police, who found Gonzales moments later at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant,” KSL-TV reports. He was arrested on investigation for one count of aggravated robbery, a felony.

Is this shop keeper a criminal in the mind of Obama since he had a concealed firearm? Isn’t he supposed to get assaulted first and then call the police and wait 10 minutes for them to arrive? Isn’t that the liberal play book? Gun control is for sheep http://www.youargue.com/index.php/34blz1328

When this goes to court the defense lawyer will claim that his client was robbed at gun point. He will claim that the knife was handed down to him by his grandfather and that he was showing it to the store owner while appling for a job. He will claim the mans poor english caused him to not understand that he was being robbed so he fled when he saw the gun. The court will find reasonable doubt in this case and the perp. walks away. The store owner will spend 25 thousand in legal fees clearing his name and surrender his 45 cal. after about 5 years of court time.
You don’t want the bad Karma for killing the stupid but a dead bad guy with a knife in his hand cost 1 hollow point + 1 mop.

I will kill no man unless he is a DIRECT threat to me, or another human being. If we start to act like animals, we become animals. I realize when this life is through, I have to answer to a higher authority, God.

Conservative cousins. I have a message from the independents. Get it together. Get of online. Reach out to the liberals who aren’t begging for slavery. Reach out to the Conservatives who aren’t begging for fascism. I’m posting this at HuffPost, DailyKos, here, and Reddit last. Stop being idiot Republicans and start being Americans.
Here it is. The most important thing your eyes will ever see. It’s a Christian conservative site. http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/52923
Remember, your religion doesn’t make you great or an American. What you do to help and care for your brother does. Doing what’s right when no one is looking does. Believing in the constitution does. Making sure that the minorities have the same rights as the majority does. Good luck to you all.

  That is how I live my life. And to your comment,come live on my street and hear how the south is mexico, that we stole it. they say their taking over not just in numbers but economical and local politics.If your not mexican and go to work somewhere they do all they can to make you look bad. They say all kinds of bad things about us. This is my country and your country buddy not theirs. I think if you really knew the ground zero aspect of my area, your opinion would be different. I dont hate mexicans or anybody, my mexican neighbor power was shut off and I knew he had a baby so I linked our meters together so he could draw power from my house. Mexicans are people too but that does not mean they have a right to all the jobs it steals expierence away from real american youth. Almost 100% of 24 and under kids dont have the skills to get alot of the jobs or speak spanish so they wont get the job and if they do,they get mocked off the job site. But the illegal mexican that speaks no english has no trouble. I have seen this many times and it saddens me to see MY, MY countryman with family’s pretty much flip burgers their whole lives because they cant compete with the mexican. This is some of what’s going on in your country. And I also have studied the bible it says take care your house first or your worse than a nonbeliever. it does not say take care of your brother while your house falls down. If you knew the story behind peoples comment, they dont hate they want their house bac

Don’t you know you have to learn out to be a successful criminal before you can get a green card or become a citizen?

in short, an illegal mexican tried to rob a store with a knife, nd the clerk pulled out a gun and did not shoot the illegal.

we sure would have.

wonder if that clerk was ever an intelligent winner on More-OnTrivia.

Seriously what is your point I couldn’t grasp it. Your putting words in my mouth and that is just a losers way of exiting. Was there a reason Hitler pointed to the Jews and called them out for no damn reason? White washed the Jewish people into a bucket and threw them to dogs. No I’m upset because it would put little seeds of hate in the minds of simple minded idiots who can’t comprehend reality. “You just don’t want people to think Mexican Nationals would come across the border illegally.” Really… do I need to tear this apart too or should I just let the stupidity stand as a reflection to your low IQ.
