Robber's Famous Last Words: 'i Thought You Couldn't Own A Gun In New Jersey'
[ALTERNATIVEMEDIASYNDICATE] A Newark, New Jersey deli owner who shot and killed an armed man will not face charges, police and prosecutors say.

Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray as well as Newark Police Director Eugene Venable say that the owner of the deli had a permit for the gun that he used to defend himself.

New Jersey is notorious for having some of the strictest gun regulations in the nation. The robber apparently thought that meant there was no legal way for his would-be victims to arm themselves.

According to Guns.buzz, Mark Robinson's last words inside the New Neighborhood Deli Supermarket were "I thought you couldn't own a gun in New Jersey."

Robinson, 46, had walked into the deli around 8:30 p.m. and immediately pointed a gun at the owner, who didn't hesitate to pull his own weapon and fire. Robinson was pronounced dead at around 10 pm.

#1 Shot at 8:31pm, died at 10pm. So he had an hour and a half to think about things. That sounds about right.

#6 An old counterman of Secaucus
Would greet all his regulars raucous:
They'd say, "It's a stickup!"
"One order to pick up!"
"What are we, chopped liver, to clock us?"
