hmmmm...civilians were disarmed in Venezuela....so how were these 300 tourists robbed at gunpoint...
Impossible Chavez Banned Guns Extrano s Alley a gun blog
The Latin American Herald Tribune reports six armed Venezuelan bandits held up 300 tourists on a popular Venezuelan beach. Now, an anti that cannot be real. Hugo Chavez ordered all Venezuelans to turn in their guns, when he outlawed civilian possession of any gun.
Briefly quoting the LAHT report linked above:
“With an aggressive attitude, one of the bandits ordered the tourists to open their purses and hand over all their belongings, while the others kept their victims at gunpoint,” the daily said.
Besides getting away with money, watches, mobile phones and even the keys and ownership documents of the tourists’ vehicles, they also “made off with a purebred puppy that they snatched from the hands of a little girl,” the daily said.
The assailants, the newspaper said, stayed for about an hour on the beach, after which local residents protested the supposed delay of police in coming to their rescue by blocking a number of streets with logs and tires.
Unfortunately, that report is true. And it has been sanitized considerably from the version I heard on the radio.
