Country store becomes shootout site
Wednesday, January 26, 2005 Posted: 12:04 PM EST (1704 GMT)
ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- When two men walked into a popular country store outside Atlanta, announced a holdup and fired a shot, owners Bobby and Gloria Doster never hesitated. The pair pulled out their own pistols and opened fire.
The armed suspect and his partner were killed. The Dosters won't be charged, according to local officials, because they were acting in self-defense.
"I just started shooting," said Gloria Doster, 56. "I was trying to blow his brains out is what I was trying to do."
Shoats Grocery & Package near Crawford, 70 miles east of Atlanta, is a well-known spot where locals stop for breakfast biscuits or lunch. Gloria Doster said the two men who came there Monday had something else in mind.
She was rearranging boxes of soda by the store's front door when a man wearing a wig walked inside, the fake hair draped in front of his face.
"I asked him, 'Can you see to walk?"' Doster said. Then she noticed a second man behind him wearing a mask. He announced a holdup.
One man grabbed Gloria Doster and pushed her toward the register. She said the other kept his gun on her 62-year-old husband, who also goes by the name Shoats.
She said she tried to open the register, but one of the men told her she wasn't moving fast enough and tried to shoot her husband. He missed -- and his gun jammed.
At that point, Bobby Doster pulled out a .380-caliber handgun and shot one of the suspects. Gloria Doster then went for a 9 mm pistol she keeps near the register.
"All hell broke loose," she said. "I was trying to shoot and dial 911 at the same time."
Both suspects took cover behind the store's meat counter as the Dosters opened fire. Gloria Doster said she doesn't know how many bullets were fired, or how many times the suspects were hit.
Police arrived about five minutes after receiving Gloria Doster's call; the suspects died a short time later at a hospital.
The bloodshed, nevertheless, startled Gloria Doster, who has been around guns all her life, and has used them for target shooting. "But I never figured I'd have to use them on anybody," she said.
She said the worst thing that's happened in the seven years the couple has owned the store was an after-hours break-in by teenagers three years ago. The burglars were promptly arrested.

I am surprised they only picked two calibers out of those fools.

to the store owners. They defended their lives well and without injury to any one but the people who attempted to murder them.

That's what you get when you give out CCW licences. Dead criminals.

Now, if guns were outlawed, those guys would have used guns anyways or knives and that old woman would have had to kill those guys with her own knife.....
the equalizer!

Probably one of the smartest things I have ever heard, this should be used in every argument when some jackarse is trying to ban guns.

"All hell broke loose," she said. "I was trying to shoot and dial 911 at the same time."

OK, now you're just talking crazy. I mean, how could the criminals possibly get guns if guns were illegal?!

I've come to realize that it is because of guns that our social security system will fail. Anywhere else and these old people would be dead. Now, they'll live forever and we'll have to keep paying them social security. When will it ever end?

If we did away with guns, I wouldn't have to get an AK-47. A baseball bat would do nicely.

Stovepipe is a failure to eject the spent brass from the weapon. The brass only partially clears the breach then gets caught by the slide as it moves forward and jams with the open end of the brass facing up. Hence the term stovepipe as it resembles a smoke pipe from the back of a woodburning stove. This type of failuer is not uncommon with low powered ammo and those who "limp wrist" a semi automatic pistol.

Have you hugged your .380 today?

a stovepipe is gods way of telling you that you are a revolver person. It is the pistols way of flipping you the bird.
Of course young healthy 6' males need guns less than old people, infirm and women... the fastest growing segment of the gun buying crowd is older people and... Women. Women are buying guns at a very high rate.
someone as mean and buff as mini could get by with one of those cricket paddle things tho.

I carried a POS Beretta Cougar .40cal for 3 years as an armed cash vault guard here in Michigan. I have fired Glocks, S&W's, Rugers and I even OWN a HK USP .45. That Beretta would stovepipe often at qualifications. I've never had a problem with anything else. I'll never own a Beretta.
