Clumsy robber drops gun in lap of victim, who turns it on him, police say
A robbery victim had a force on her side other than police: The force of gravity.He gave her his gun and the means with which to identify him. Sumdood is slipping in his old age, I guess... Although you could make the case that Sumdood, crafty devil that he is, has perfected the art of planting evidence... There may have been something else at work here, though:
One of two people trying to rob a 69-year-old woman in her car Friday night accidentally dropped his handgun into her lap. She grabbed the gun and turned it on the man, chasing him off, South Daytona police said.
The suspect also dropped a cell phone, which held pictures that helped the woman identify her robber to police, they said.
The recovered handgun, a .380-caliber Cobra, had been reported stolen, police said.Ah ha! It was a Cobra. He didn't drop it - he just wanted to get the hell rid of it before it bit his finger...
That is all.
Story sent to me by reader John, who lamented that it didn't add to the DGC. It did, however, add to the "make Jay laugh like a tickled hermit" count...

And this is why EVERYONE should know how to safely handle a firearm. Wouldn't it suck if a robber dropped a gun into your lap and you didn't know how to make it go bang?
It's a Cobra, Lissa. You're probably better off not making it go bang... ;)
Cobra? ..... like a minor caliber Hi-Point, only shiny, and not quite as butt ugly, right?
wv- "horsesse" I thought the name for a female horse was "horse" (as opposed to "stallion/colt/filly")...
THE COBRA BITES AGAIN!!!!
Jimbob, Cobra is more like a tarted-up Raven Arms with a trigger that teaches you NEVER to pull it in a Pavlovian fashion!
You mess with snakes you're gonna get BIT!
Good thing this happened in Fla. If it occurred in Chicago, Granny would be in jail for illegal gun transfers, possession of an illegal firearm, failure to distribute the wealth, etc..
The rules are different in Florida. Thank God.
See Ya.
