One of the men stayed near the entrance of the store while the other attempted robber approached the counter and pointed a gun at Moore.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a robbery,&#8221; Moore said the man told him.<\/p>\n<p>Moore said the attempted robber&#8217;s gun didn&#8217;t look real.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I looked at his gun and said &#8216;I have a bigger one than you do,&#8217; &#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Moore then turned to reach for his own gun and that&#8217;s when the attempted robbers took off in a white SUV with dark markings toward the rear of the driver&#8217;s side and a sun roof.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe width='500' height='300' seamless='seamless' src='http:\/\/www.komonews.com\/news\/local\/West-Seattle-store-clerk-to-would-be-robbers-My-gun-is-bigger-233223791.html?embed' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I guess the incident has sparked <a href=\"http:\/\/mynorthwest.com\/76\/2402343\/West-Seattle-store-owner-scares-off-wouldbe-robbers-telling-them-his-gun-is-bigger\">a debate about gun-free zones<\/a> in Seattle;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> KIRO Radio&#8217;s Dori Monson says this is a perfect example of why the gun-free zone business campaign in Seattle doesn&#8217;t make sense.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here&#8217;s what would have happened if that had been one of the gun-free zone stores. The crooks would have walked in with their toy gun, everybody not knowing if it was real or not and not able to defend themselves, probably would have had to have kowtowed to them, turned over the cash, and the crooks would have gotten away so they could buy drugs,&#8221; says Dori.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But at the store where a store owner keeps a gun to defend himself from the punks, the punks run off, nobody gets hurt and nothing gets stolen.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Apparently, more than a hundred businesses in Seattle have signed on to be &#8220;gun free zones&#8221;.
