Man with now legally concealed gun delays Kansas teens who allegedly robbed ... - New York Daily News
A man carrying a concealed gun thanks to a new Kansas law says he helped thwart a group of alleged robbers at a sporting goods store on Friday afternoon, according to reports. Joey Tapley, 24, forced one of three teens who allegedly stole firearms and cash at gunpoint from a Topeka Academy Sports + Outdoors to let go of some of the cargo with his non-permitted, concealed weapon, he told WIBW-TV. The new law allowing Kansans to pack heat without a permit or training took effect July 1. Officers from the Topeka Police Department captured the three males on Friday night and recovered the rest of the goods they had stolen, Lt. Bryan Wheeles... Authorities incarcerated the teens, whose names aren’t being disclosed because they’re minors, in an area juvenile detention facility on aggravated assault, aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary charges, according to the local paper. Police say they fled the scene in a stolen white 1996 Dodge Intrepid, and officers told the Capital-Journal they located the teens with a female accomplice at around 9:30 p. m. But Tapley impeded the robbery suspects on their way earlier Friday,... One of the suspects made eye contact and continued fleeing for a second before dropping the two guns he had in his arms and booking it, Tapley told WIBW-TV. Source: www.nydailynews.com
