Wow, as the business owner they should have said, here's your gun don't ever come back here again. It costs you $25 to get that person out of your life, you got off cheap. As the consumer, you have lots of options if you feel like you're being taken for a ride but shooting the shop owner is not one of them.

Poor judgement all around. This has also hit the national news, so you can be sure the anti's will use it to further their agenda. :roll: :x

Anyway, to put some perspective on this, just take a look at Chicago, NY, or any other big city. People get shot and killed every day for no reason at all.

Proof that there are people that should not own a gun. :roll:

My first thought when I read this story earlier this morning on a news site was "here we go again, the anti-gun media will have a field day with this". While clearly most American gun owners are responsible and law abiding, there are always a few folks who in a better world should not own firearms.

A guy in the area opined that the gun left for repair was a "bait gun" for the purpose of returning near closing time to commit a robbery. Who knows?

The news repeaters will only read one or two lilnes to suit their station manager's position. It is an election year - Don't look to learn any real facts on this one...

Gunny - The story doesn't say which father/son were killed... Was it the customer or the LGS proprietor?

 

[Cholo]

The 2 that died were the owner of the store and his son.

Cholo is correct. Owner and son. There's some uncertainty who shot first or if the wife who was manning the counter shot the "customers" after her husband and son were down. Still investigating. Here's what is known as of yesterday:

PEARL RIVER COUNTY, MS (WLOX) -

The name of the victims killed in a shootout at a Pearl River County gun shop last night have been released.

According to Pearl River County Sheriff David Allison, 44-year old Jason McLemore, who owned McLemore Gun Shop, and his 17-year old son Jacob, were killed after a disagreement with two customers.

The two customers -- who are also a father-son pair -- were both injured during the altercation. McLemore and his teenage son were pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities say that Michael McCool, 29, is the alleged shooter, accused of shooting both victims using a 40-caliber pistol. However, no charges have been brought against anyone at this time.

According to Sheriff Allison, Audy McCool, 52, and his son Michael McCool, went to the shop to retrieve a weapon around 3:15 p.m. After being told it was not repaired, one of the men reportedly became agitated over paying a $25 service charge even though his gun was not fixed.

The wife of Jason McLemore, who was at the counter when the customers came in, called her husband and son to de-escalate the situation. Both father and son pairs began to argue, resorting to physical violence and, eventually, gunfire.

McLemore is reported to have had an unholstered nine-millimeter handgun by his side when he was shot, but there are no details on whether it was ever drawn or fired.

According to Sheriff Allison, Audy McCool was found walking around, bleeding from what happeared to be a wound on his back, when authorities arrived. However, investigators are still unsure how he was injured. He was taken into surgery at Forrest General Hospital, but Sheriff Allison says there has not been an update on his condition.

Michael McCool was in stable condition in the intensive care unit at University Hospital in New Orleans as of 10:30 p.m. Saturday, said Sheriff Allison.
