On May 27, 2008 at approximately 10:27 pm, Officers of the Salisbury Police Department received a call to respond to the Shell Gasoline Station on Snow Hill Road for the report of a robbery. Upon arrival, the Officers were advised by the store owner that two (2) suspects had entered the store and confronted him. The victim advised that one (1) suspect produced a handgun and forced the owner to open the cash register. Once open, both suspects removed the U.S. Currency from the cash register before fleeing from the store. There were no injuries. The suspects were described as:
1. White male, 5’10”, 150 lbs., medium build, wearing a white shirt over a blue shirt, grey pants, black and white shoes, and a blue baseball style hat with a mask partially covering his face.
2. White male, 5’06”, 140 lbs, thin build, wearing a black long sleeve shirt, blue jeans, white shoes, and a tan bandanna over his face.
If anyone has any information concerning this incident, they are asked to contact the Salisbury Police Department at 410-548-3165. CC # 200800018686
40 states currently have right to carry laws (concealed weapons that is), 36 of which have "shall issue" laws, requiring permits to be issued to those who meet state set standards. All of these states have seen decreased rates of violent crimes since the right to carry enactments. If we had such a law, all those contemplating a violent crime against other individuals (with or without a firearm) would really have to think twice, not knowing which potential victim might be able & willing to defend themselves by displaying & possibly using their own firearm.
