“Larry L. Hobock, 29, was taken into custody early Sunday morning after he tried to rob the Millington Walmart located at 8445 Highway 51, fox13memphis.com reports. “According to police, they responded at 2:36 a.m. to an alarm at the gun case located in the sporting goods section.” OK, that’s not good . . .
A gun robbery in the middle of the night (albeit in a store open 24 hours a day). But here’s the really scary part . . .
The investigation determined, the suspect had used a tool to break into the gun case and then removed the trigger locks from two of the shotguns. The suspect was attempting to remove the third trigger guard when confronted by officers. Officers found the suspect had removed ammunition from store shelves and loaded two of the shotguns with three rounds of ammunition each.
Who steals shotguns and loads them on the spot? Someone who’s deeply stupid or deeply drugged or deeply psychotic or deeply stupid, drugged and psychotic. Not the kind of call I’d like to receive as a reserve deputy. Thankfully . . .
No shots were fired by the suspect or officers and no injuries reported by Wal Mart employees on duty on the time.
Hobock is currently in custody at the Millington Police Department and charged with Aggravated Robbery. He is being held on $250,000 bond. This case is still under investigation and other charges may be added.
Add charges! Add charges! This is not the kind of person who should be walking the streets at 2:36 am. Or any other time for that matter.
More De Sturmer tactics…
Because psychotic coworkers that are tired of your shit will worry about those antigun regs your company has in place, right?
When I was a child, I thought that 60 Minutes was supposed to be some sort of bastion of unbiased journalism. Then as an adolescent I watched 2 different episodes where I knew enough facts to realize how dishonest the show was. That was sometime in the 1980s. I haven’t watch a single one of any of those 60 Minutes since. I assume it’s still unadulterated agitprop today.
One big bias: they’re describing gun carry as common in remote rural areas, failing to mention huge cities like Miami, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Denver, Seattle and many many others with widespread carry.
But the other bias is one the NRA is promoting in lock-step with the gun-grabbers: no mention of the enormous number of carry permit corruption cases by dirty cops and sheriffs from the NYPD to LAPD in the states with discretionary permits. The NRA doesn’t want to discuss this because with widespread police corruption, if they call out corruption in any department they’ll be slammed by every other. That’s the sad face of American law enforcement today.
And one of the most obvious beneficiaries of bribery to obtain a permit: a guy name of Donald J. Trump…
As to reciprocity being “dangerous to cops” – in some departments, yes, very likely. There are cops committing massive civil rights violations in NY, Baltimore Los Angeles for example that might finally be at risk if they pull the same bullshit on visitors from out of state. In some cases the civil rights violations they’ve committed are so extreme they damned well should have been shot long ago. They’ll have to think about that possibility now. Good.
Why would I ever want to transition from rifle to pistol IRL unless A) all out of rifle ammo b) I’m grappling with someone (which seems like it would entail a completely different strategy}? Neither of those situations seem to be demonstrated in the video. I assume shot-by-shot transitions are just for practicing the transition.
The only reason one can think of to load shotguns as you steal them is to shoot the people who might show up to prevent you from stealing said shotguns. Kinda sketchy but not altogether unsurprising.
However, it does put the lie to claims about the effectiveness of trigger guard locks…
what’s the deal with the football player? He had an AR rifle that he put a pistol grip on it and then thought it was okay to put a short barrel on it? Yeah, can’t do that.
I have mixed opinions on Freedom Munitions. They used to be a great deal when the big brands were higher priced. Now, I can find new range grade Federal, PMC, PPU, IMI, etc., on sale for the same or a cent or two more per round than Freedom’s reman. stuff. So, I don’t buy Freedom anymore. Their prices are higher than they used to be, and their competitors are lower than they used to be. Also, very slow shipping speed. Ammo is under powered. Often times they don’t have the rounds in stock that I want. And the only two jams (both FTEs) in my Springfield Saint have been Freedom ammo (no problems even with steel cased Russian ammo). For now, I’m choosing other brands.
Since the source (Governing.com) is now equating correlation with causation, it would be fair to say that those in urban areas prefer to kill others when they encounter difficult times.
That guy looks scary, I would not like to hear my cell door open and that guy walk in. I’m starting a fund me page to bail this guy out. Save tthe prisoners from this guy
I’ve always had good results with ammo from FM.
No worries about them being sponsors. I would still expect nothing but the truth from TTAG and any reputable company appreciates honest feedback/reviews. Carry on.
Considering how cavalier Remington has been with its customers for several decades over the Walker Trigger scandal, and how poor their quality control overall has been for at least the past ten years, it would be best for the firearm customer if Remington was completely destroyed, and its salvageable components parceled out to firms that want to be in the business of making reliable, dependable, quality-built firearms and not in business solely to generate ‘consumer products,’ made down to a price instead of up to a standard, for the ultimate benefit of a piratical board of directors and hordes of ravenous Wall Street shareholders who don’t care whether the companies that they own build guns, or helicopters, microwave ovens, or tea cozies, so long as they pay dividends.
Remington’s 1911 copies are first-rate; They could survive in someone else’s hands. Marlin, if whoever bought it used proper manufacturing methods and quality, could also survive as a niche company. Remington Law Enforcement, with its strict QC, tough finishes, serious options, hand fitting, test-firing, and careful attention to detail could thrive as an independent with their ‘far-better-than-consumer-grade’ 700s, 870s, and 11-87s; The LE guns are built the way Remington used to build everything–and that means something.
At the current level of quality, I doubt that anything else in Remington’s ‘consumer’ lines would be worth continuing, as there are far better guns available now for the same price or less.
Also, those other, better guns won’t fire without a trigger pull, unlike Remingtons’s most popular products.
Any answer referencing a gun created by John Moses Browning would have been acceptable.
So they’ve never seen the TC Dimension have they?

“While the intruder was not armed, the rifleman was confident enough of his position to hesitate in firing, even though the man confronting him chose to show that he was unarmed in a confrontational and foolish fashion.”
That kid doesn’t have what it takes to be a police officer.
A shotgun would have worked as well.
You don’t get to rob someone just because you feel like.
The part about distributors like RSR, Jerry’s, Sports South, and some other distributors refusing to sell to home based FFLs is true. The part about BATF having anything to do with that, or BATF not issuing or renewing an FFL to home based businesses is pure hogwash. They DO look carefully at zoning and local licensing, however. As long as you live in a place that local zoning allows your home business, and you meet all your state and local business regulations, BATF will issue the FFL. I just got mine.
The ATF agent who came here before mine was issued was very helpful and collaborative. It was not an “inspection” at all – he just spent 4 hours sitting at my dining room table going over all the rules and answering my questions. A couple weeks after his visit, I had my license.
Distributors like Lipsey’s, Zander’s, MGE Wholesale, Green Supply, Davidsons have all been great to work with.
The Sar9 looks exactly like the Ruger American minus the finger grooves. Makes me say hmmmm. All these gun makers are copying each other.
“Concealed carry and guns have caused enough damage in this country altogether …” — Supervisor Catherine Stefani
Where is Supervisor Stefani’s evidence that We the People (the good and decent people of our nation) who carry concealed without malicious intent have caused “enough” damage?
Once again, a Progressive associates the actions of psychopaths, sociopaths, gangbangers, and career criminals with good and decent people. I for one am sick and tired of it.
