I think Smithgall's Pharmacy is also a gunshop, so probably no.

they are and I doubt in Lancaster the clerk will be fired or charged by the police. Unfortunately civil suits are always a concern when the criminal lives.

Great story. Shame the other one got away.

Even when they die the family can sue. The right t sue should be lost while committing crime.

I didn't think there were any gun shops within city limits. Used to be a second hand shop years ago that sold guns, but it was actually a front for the cops to gather stolen merchandise.

For those that don't know, Charlie Smithgall used to be mayor of Lancaster.

Shame the first guy lived. I doubt that it's his first brush with the law and won't be the last. He's nothing but a leach on the taxpayers' side.

If you are dumb enough to rob a pharmacy that is also a gun shop, you probably don't deserve to be sucking air.
