NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER: “Robbery” At Gun Shop Not What It Seemed
A passerby outside the Gun Room in Portland called 9-1-1 to report that a man standing outside was holding a gun and looked "nervous and sweaty," prompting the police to “surround the shop and set up a perimeter with assault rifles drawn” only to discover that the man was a gun salesman who was at the gun shop … to sell a gun. Bet the man was even more nervous and sweaty after the SWAT team showed up, but Portland Police Bureau spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson tells The Oregonian that "The police response was appropriate. If you thought someone was robbing a gun shop, you're going to show up with guns."
