This guy:
a man who was shot while allegedly threatening an Auckland gun dealer with a machete.

The 29-year-old man was taken to Auckland Hospital for emergency surgery after being shot in the stomach at the Small Arms International gunshop in Penrose on Thursday.
....
The man was shot by gun dealer Greg Carvell, whose father, Ray Carvell, a fellow director of the gunshop, said he had not choice but to shoot when the man threatened him with a machete.
Possible nominee for a Darwin award? (http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/story.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10393557)

What do we learn from this boys and girls?
Don't threaten a man with a machette when he has access to several guns.

What did he expect them to do?

well, if they aimed lower than his stomach, or he died without heirs from his loins, then he would win a darwin award.

kinda like the would be robber in Texas who walked around a police car to enter a gun store, and seeing the owner talking to two cops and completely missing the store full of shoppers, shot a couple of rounds in to the air to get everyone's attention. (incase you didn't know, there is a carrying conceiled law. I wonder what his last thoughts were when everyone drew their weapon on him.) btw, he was killed by the store owner, who was the only person who fired. the two cops did draw but since their backs were turned to the idiot, the ower had the quicker hand.

Old Painless: Never bring a knife to a gunfight.

Nows THAT's taking a blade to a bullet-fest.

But knowing how New Zealand (I assume because its 'Auckland') law is made to protect criminals than to punish them.

I guess some asswipe is going to press charges against gun store owner, and Mr. Knife-user Deadbeat is going to get 200 hours 'community service' where he doesn't even show up?

Shop owner should have finished the job - those native Maori deadbeats are locusts. Pests.

I agree.

If someone/something is worth shooting once, it's worth shooting several times, to save both the defendee a 'witness' against him at his jury hearing, and the state a witness against said defendee.

And to save EVERYONE money, aswell.

I do belive the last people on the earth to test the theory of knife versus gun were the Japanese. I think history explains the rest.

Why have one or the other?

I was told (so don't quite know as to it's verity, but it's one of those so-funny-you-wish-it-were-true stories) about a guy whom I can only assume had either extremely poor eyesight or was just plain dumb who tried to rob a deli somewhere in the States.
Problem here was that it was opposite a Police Station, and thus had Police cars parked outside it and was frequented by many of our boys in blue.
Many of them still in uniform when said dipshit burst in waving a gun and yelling he was robbing the place.
I'll let you figure out what happened next.

Seriously, I have to question whether someone who robs a gunstore with a knife should be allowed to pass on their genetic material...

You think that while he's in hospital, the doctors should do a couple of extra snips down below, in order to protect future generations from his stupidity?

The Hun doesn't like it up him you see!
He doesn't like the cold steel!

I don't. :)
You've robbed a gunstore with a knife?:eek:

Bump

Stupid bastard.

Theres a gun shop in Auckland?!

It won't get a Darwin award since he didn't die, but it could still get an honourable mention.
