WOW, they are having a little problem over there. A few weeks ago it was the ATM machine was stolen, now this. I think they need more armed security.

Took me 2 years to get my carry permit to be legit in NJ. Funny how I can carry in every state but because I live in NJ it took that long.

I guess they thought they would get the weekends $$$$$. That early, someone knew what they were doing.

Exactly. Had one of the E-town employees been properly 'equipped' there might be one less lowlife thief on the streets right now and maybe our entry fees wouldn't be getting raised next year.

However, their bullets must be of low velocity or have a rollbar.
