SWing'R Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) WTF man. People getting carjacked at Tuttle Mall and killed. I don't own any guns, but stories like this make me wonder if it's time I consider it.http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2010/12/27/woman-fatally-shot-in-township.html?sid=101http://www.10tv.com/live/content/local/stories/2010/12/27/story-hilliard-woman-dead-in-shooting.html?sid=102 Edited December 27, 2010 by SWing'R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldie Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Talk about fucked up. Hopefully the responsible party gets the same treatment in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Just read a different story, the one from ch 10, it stated... Sheriff's investigators said while at the couple was at the corner of Camden Place Drive and Chelsea Park Drive, two men wearing dark clothing got into the SUV and forced the couple to drive. This is a little different than I had imagined by the way the story was reported.+1 for locking your doors folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Butters Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 worst part is - i doubt these people will ever be caught for this....no witnesses, probably no prints...theyre sitting at home right now relaxing while this woman is dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Butters Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 i doubt they were after that exact car...they probably would have taken anything with wheelsthose navigators are old and nothing particularly nice about them anymore....you can see in the pics its not that nice of a car the only decent thing about them is the engine, but people who can afford to do 4v 5.4 swaps into their mustangs, usually are not the kinda people buying this kinda stuff used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 It really is a shame that incidents like this have to happen to turn for the worst. I really hope that the family is doing okay no words can describe how they feel right now. I'm sure someone saw what happened or it was caught on camera. I'm game for Open Carry now,Glad I bought my gun loaded and within arms reach. I just hate that it take tragic events like this to make people reconsider arming themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Sad. This is exactly why I always carry a gun. Everywhere. You just never know what could happen and I don't want be caught with my guard down. And don't kid yourself and say it could never happen to you because you drive a shitty car. There could be someone who is running from the cops and just needs wheels. There is always someone worse off than you who would gladly kill you and take whatever you have and not think twice. You car is better than someone who doesn't have one.I programmed my car doors to auto lock. That way I don't have to think about it and if someone does sneak up on me while I am in the car, it gives me a little buffer zone. It's also a good habit to check your side mirrors when you are stopped too. If they try to sneak up, this can give you a heads up to hit the gas.

jblosser Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I took the "scenic" route to Vance's the other day on the way back from the AMA Museum (my volunteer position orientation session - more on that another day).Basically took Cleveland Ave. from downtown north to Vance's, through some of the not-so-nice areas of town. Found myself stopping nearly a full car length behind the vehicle in front of me, and checking both left and right sides for escape routes, if necessary.I figured that being in the 3/4 ton I would be OK against most of the hoopties (sp?) in tha 'hood, save for the occasional mid-70's Coupe de Ville.Better to be prepared and safe than sorry.Might also have helped that just that morning my Cadillac converter and exhaust pipe separated, making my truck sound extremely loud and obnoxious, so maybe I fit in a little better. Got home, applied a little heat, some judicious hammer work, a couple of clamps, all nice and quiet again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder, if they were gonnamake them get out and just take the car from there and not harm them Edited December 28, 2010 by SWing'R edit: Husband driving, wife was passenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
