Pizza joint robbery foiled

by Jonn Lilyea••53

Chooee sends us a link to a weird article about a pizza joint stick up in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where the thief pulled a weapon magazine (sans weapon) on an employee and demanded all of the money.

The victim then slapped the magazine out of the suspect’s hands.

The suspect grabbed two rounds that fell out of the magazine, turned around, and walked out the door, the report states.

The article doesn’t say what type of magazine was used in the robbery, but they have a picture of an AR magazine – the most dangerous of all “high capacity” magazines, I hear from the gun-grabbers. The employee was lucky that the magazine didn’t jump up off the floor and injure or kill him.

    1. A clip?

      Ahh, you are bait trolling.
      You know that a clip is not a magazine but wanted someone to bite your bait.
      Got it.
      I almost took a bite.

      1. Get over it, Yef… you might be interested to know that even the US Army referred to the magazine of a M1911 as a ‘magazine’ or ‘clip’ interchangeably. Technically, yes, it is a box magazine…now give me a technical definition of which the M1 uses.

        1. M1 uses an 8 round en-bloc clip.
          And I have never ever evah heard anyone in the Army using clip and magazine interchangeably. Clips feed magazines. They are the stripper clips with 10 rounds each that come in the bandoleers inside the ammo cans of A059 5.56×45 for the M4s.

          2. In the Army Nurse Corps, I heard it referred to as “bullet-holder-thingee” more than once.

              1. I was prior-enlisted, so fairly proficient. The nurses at OBC, aka “Barbie goes to camp”, not so much. Good nurses though.

          3. Glad you had that little factoid handy. (And stripper clips predate M4s by like a hundred years; take a look at the receivers on 1890s Mausers.)

            From an American Rifleman article March ’14 “Before purists chime in, let me add that back in 1909 and 1910–as the United States was looking at adopting its first self-loading pistol for widespread issue–in U.S. Army Ordnance Dept. documents it referred to the detachable box magazine for what would become the U.S. M1911 pistol as, well, a clip.”

  3. The employee did a fine job. Personally, I’d have asked him if he wanted the free drink, and then thrown it in his face, then stomped on him, but that’s just me. Fine job of reacting properly.

  5. Perhaps this guy believed the hype that these “high capacity magazines” were super-duper deadly.

    “ASSAULT CLIPS”
    A new lefty classification of magazines, maybe?

  6. Any relationship to the Iraqi woman who held up a couple of rounds (casings and all) that she claimed US troops shot through her house?

        1. I work on the premise that someone was satirizing those who know little about guns with this post.

          But then, there was the school that suspended a 5-year-old for having a “shotgun bullet” (an expended .22 LR casing). It is hard to satirize that level of idiocy.

          1. Sadly, I found the rest of the (now-deleted) exchange (someone screen-shot it when it happened in October 2015). She really was that dumb, and was elated that her post got shared, thinking she was doing her part to stop gun violence. Then she finally listened to those who were laughing at her and tried to pretend it was a joke. She was really torqued.

            2. oh, my

              If, Heaven forbid, this country ever does have a circumstance where people have to take care of themselves, there will be a lot of folks dying from ignorance.
              NOLS sent me something the other day where they claimed 3/4 of the Millennials in their case study could not start a fire.
              Someone who cannot distinguish drill bits from bullets will die, and never know why.

              2. Could not start a fire? Not even with matches? Or one of those long-barrel candle lighters?

                Seriously?

                1. Seriously.

                  I’ve seen folks “camping” in state parks who bring in some unsplit wood, and try to start a fire with a 5-gallon can of gasoline.

                  With enough gasoline, it works – if the idiots don’t end up immolating themselves or their children.

              3. Let’s not forget the news bit about some snowflake mistaking foam ear plugs for rubber bullets!

        2. Too bad the clerk didn’t pull out a 1911 and say “thats not a gun, THIS IS A GUN”! shades of “Crocodile Dundee” lol

      3. That just bits the big one.

        Itty bitty brain syndrone.

        Bits of dementia.

        A bit of insanity there.

      4. WTF… if that’s “for real” we’ve have some real dipsh*ts out there…

        Good thing she didn’t find a cordless impact driver aka screw gun…

        “They called it a gun it must be dangerous!”

        1. Saw a meme the other day on FB, Old 1SG, with a ratchet on the left, and a air-powered ratchet gun on the right.

          They called the one on the right a “scary assault ratchet gun” – poking fun at the ignorant amongst us.

  8. There are some dangerous people walking around. The two-bullet bandit should be locked up; he’s obviously the kind of guy who would put pineapple and anchovies on a calzone…

      1. If it were truly an abomination in the eyes of the Lord, then liberals would be staging an all-out assault to having it “normalized.”

    2. Anyone wanting to do that ought to be given a life sentence of anchovy and jalapeño pizza.

  10. If the employee was a conservative type, the perp might have tried holding up a magazine such as Time or Newsweek. The shock and horror caused to clerk might have given the perp time to grab some money.
    But a magazine from a weepon causes no such shock.

  12. Hey, he probably read that 30-round magazines were outlawed in a number of states and figured that they must be dangerous. After all, what numb skulls would make it illegal to ban a mag?

  13. Does anyone know when it became so offensive to refer to a magazine as a clip? Yes, I understand the nuance, but fail to understand the big deal about it all.

    For what it’s worth, I do know some elder veterans who always call a magazine a clip. They look at me funny when I call it a magazine. It’s all very confusing.

    Maybe it’s a generational thing?

    1. And yeah – that’s a whole lotta stupid right there. He went into a pizza place to deliver a magazine and bullets? Guess he took the two with him as a tip.

    2. It’s as big a deal as calling a Marine a soldier or a CMOH recipient a winner of the MOH, I guess. In the case of the mag/clip, the failure to maintain the distinction between the two usually signals an outsider is misusing terms which enjoy a specific meaning to most AD and Vets.

      1. I am still marveled at the depths of human stupidity every time I watch that video clip!

        1. I think “CA State Senator insert-name-here (D)” would be a clue that the creature thereby indicated has taken “How stupid can you be?” as a personal challenge.

          “Here, hold my joint and watch this.”

  15. The only possible way that slug could have been even MORE stupid, would be if he had used a TIME Magazine.
