Cincinnati Police are trying to find a man who robbed a convienience store in Camp Washington.

A man and woman were working at the BP station on Hopple Street just before 1 a.m. Friday morning.

Police said the employees told them a man walked in, pulled a shot gun and demanded cash.

After getting the money, he took off running without hurting anyone.

Police dogs weren't able to track the man.

Investigators are now looking at surveillance video to identify the man.

I once talked to the owner of a gas station in that area. I forget which station, but I asked the owner why he had a sign on the door saying "no guns". He said it was to keep himself and the employees safe. I pointed out that criminals do not typically obey signs and the sign suggests that the law abiding will not be armed in that station. This makes he and his employees less safe, and more likely to be chosen for robbery. He said that makes sense, he had not thought about it that way before, but said he was keeping the signs up because it still made him feel safer. Liberals! Who can understand them?

Maybe they are just doing to the gas station what the oil companies are doing to us. The oil companies just don't have to use a gun. Robbery begets robbery.

Again? This gas station has been hit more than once. Employees should have to get a CCW permit and NEVER be in a store by themselves! If someone pulls out a gun the employee should be able to pull out a gun and blow their ^$%^ head off! Maybe this would stop some of this from happening. But wait! Obama wants to ban guns, but just for the good people that want to protect themselves and their familes. The thugs would still be able to get guns. "Ojerka" would probably supply them to the thugs since his goal is to bring this country down!!!!

I guess it's not safe to stop and get gas these days. Have a gun with you. Sad.
