Oops, Wrong Coffee Stand: The owner of Sunshine Espresso in Coeur d'Alene [ID] fought fire with fire - literally - when she pulled a handgun on a 17-year-old boy who tried to rob her stand Wednesday morning… Sunshine Espresso owner Michelle Cornelsen said the teen walked up to her stand and demanded cash without showing the gun at first. "He didn't have it at first, he was playing with his pocket, I had a bad feeling though. I had a bad feeling about him," Cornelsen said. What the robber didn't know is that Cornelsen has had her concealed weapons permit for seven years and she had received a new 9mm handgun for Christmas from her husband… She stalled the teen by talking to him about why he was trying to rob her, to which he replied that he didn't have any money. About five minutes into the attempted robbery another customer pulled up to the stand, distracting the would-be robber and giving Cornelsen the opportunity to grab her gun. "Sure enough a customer pulled up on this side and he laid it down on the counter and covered it up with his hand," she said. The teen laid his gun down on the counter, just long enough for Michelle to grab her own gun… (It's unclear if Mrs. Cornelesen was wearing her gun and chose not to draw against a gun already drawn or if she had to access it from somewhere in side her stand. If it was the latter, she may have learned the advantage to keeping it holstered on her person.)

Oops, Wrong Convenience Store: It began when two young men with machetes walked into a Union Gap [WA] convenience store early Wednesday morning and demanded cash. What they didn't expect was a second clerk who pulled a handgun and held one of the men until police arrived. The other ran off. It didn't end there. Hours later more than a dozen officers - including the Yakima police SWAT team - encircled a Selah house and after a three-hour standoff forced out three other people suspected in at least one other machete-point robbery in Yakima… Two men, including the second Union Gap robbery suspect, and one woman were arrested… They are being held at Yakima County jail on pending first-degree robbery charges. They are also suspected of another robbery involving men with machetes at a Yakima Walgreen's a few days earlier. Authorities also believe they were involved in two robberies of gas stations in Selah and outside the Yakima Training Center in the past two weeks… (I doubt that Walgreen's allows its employees to be armed at work.)
