Wrong Time, Wrong Place    February 3^rd, 1990 Washington
A man tried to commit a robbery in Renton, Washington. It was probably his first attempt at armed robbery, as suggested by the fact that he had no previous record of violent crime, and by his terminally stupid choices.
1.     The target was H & J Leather and Firearms. A gun shop.
2.    The shop was full of customers----firearms customers----in a U. S. state where a substantial portion of the adult population is licensed to carry concealed handguns in public places.
3.    To enter the shop, he had to step around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door.
4.    An officer in uniform was standing next to the counter, having coffee before reporting to duty.
Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a holdup and fired a few wild shots. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, covered by several customers who also drew their guns, thereby removing the confused criminal from the gene pool. No one else was hurt.
