June 19, 2010 · 6:01 am Man tries to hold up gas station with caulking gun This guy must be a moron. He not only tried to rob a gas station with a caulking gun, but he was so stupid that he picked up a man he thought was a woman and still lives with his mommy. Worlds dumbest criminals should feature this guy on their show. Police have issued an arrest warrant for a man accused of injuring a gas station clerk while attempting to rob him with a caulk gun. The suspect fled the scene in the company of a transgender prostitute he’d picked up earlier in the evening, according to an affidavit issued by the Travis County Sheriff’s Office. The affidavit says the clerk, Johnnie Limuel, 68, told police that a man dressed in women’s clothing entered the Speedy Stop on East 51st Street around 4 a.m. June 7 and bought a pack of cigarettes and $5 worth of gas, the affidavit said. Just after he walked out to a red pickup truck at a gas pump, another man — who police later identified as Jose Alejandro Romero, 17 — walked into the store with a caulk gun partially visible under a white t-shirt, the affidavit said. The man pointed the caulk gun at Limuel and demanded money, the affidavit said. Limuel told police he thought it was a joke when he saw the caulk gun, but the assailant continued to demand money, the affidavit said. The man struck Limuel with the caulk gun after he could not open the cash drawer, the affidavit said, then Limuel struck back, hitting the man with a plastic trash can. The assailant left the store without any money and sped off in the red pickup truck, the affidavit said. The other man, later identified as Kenneth Williams, a transgender prostitute, told police that Romero had picked him up from the street before the attempted robbery, the affidavit said. Williams spent the night driving around with Romero as he got money from several locations including his mobile home to buy and smoke crack, the affidavit said. It was during this time that Williams suggested they stop at a gas station, because he wanted to buy cigarettes, the affidavit said. Police confirmed Romero’s identity yesterday when they visited his mobile home where his mother also lives, the affidavit said. Police have not arrested Romero, who has been charged with aggravated robbery, the affidavit said. |

It's hard to believe how stupid some people can be.... If someone pointed a caulking gun at me and told me to give them the money. I'd begin laughing hysterically. I just could not take them seriously..... I guess we will soon need to re-name them to a "caulking tool" and remove the word "gun", to eliminate the confusion for stupid criminals..... Then again, maybe calling them a "gun" is a good thing. Imagine if the military equipped all soldiers with caulking guns, rather than guns that shoot bullets. Do this world wide, right before World War Three. Then watch all the fun. Can you imagine thousands of military men shooting caulk at each other. The object it to plug the holes in the opposing soldier. That would include eyes, ears, nostrils, mouth, and any bodily holes below the belt. This is a great idea for a comedy Youtube video at the very least !!!! |

In our business we use an item to blow material into the mods. For years they were called "fill guns", an air operated plunger and venturi. Most come from Europe and after a couple of shipments got held up in customs, the industry started using "fill injectors" That's funny!!! If you think of all the tools that use the word "GUN", home repair must be the most dangerous thing a person can do. Lets see, caulking gun screw gun nail gun soldering gun staple gun grease gun blow gun (and I know there are more, but cant think of them right now) What's really goofy, is that the only tool that actually fires a 22cal shell, (into concrete), is called a "Powder actuated tool". Those tools actually are a "gun" of sorts..... |

The world is better off, having and using guns. Squirt guns are a good example. Spray guns work a bit different. I like the bean bags used in 37mm Stun guns (secretly lead bird shot). Next round is a hard rubber ball bouncer or a gas...(stingers) |

What's really goofy, is that the only tool that actually fires a 22cal shell, (into concrete), is called a "Powder actuated tool". Those tools actually are a "gun" of sorts..... These guns require pressure against the surface. You cannot point it at you head and expect it to work as a gun to harm yourself in suicide. You can bypass safeties in framing guns and shoot at rabbits from the roof on a new construction home. :-) |

I'd forgotten that one. Must be I'm under the gun. Got to get out to the truck, gun it on the way to a meeting. Years ago, I did get a powder acutated. Sure enough, it is a single shot .22 rimfire pistol. It has safeties, makes it safer. However, if you are a cement wall and give me attitude, I will nail your bulkhead! -- .. Christopher A.

Not easily, but I saw the aftermath of a goof who managed that trick ONCE! Suicidal doper/contractor. Family turned in all his firearms and three days later found him in the garage. He nailed it! Think it was a Hilti if I recall correctly. You can bypass safeties in framing guns and shoot at rabbits from the roof on a new construction home. :-) No thanks, I'll use my Gamo Whisper .177 cal. |

We've had to rescue about 4 or 5 from construction or roofing sites. Most of the time the nails can be removed without serious damage-but I ain't volunteering to this evolution. -- Tekkie |
