Man uses fake leg to take down armed robberwww.msnbc.msn.com/id/42376362/ns/us_news-weird_news/?GT1=43001MIDDLETON, Mass. — A Massachusetts man who used his prosthetic leg to take down a robber says he didn't have time to think, he just reacted. Stephen Cornell peered through the window of his neighborhood convenience store in Middleton on Wednesday and saw a man pointing a gun at the owner. He tells The Salem News he intended to tackle the thief when he left JC Grill & Pizza, but instead stuck out his artificial leg and tripped him. Cornell and owner Edson Andrade disarmed the thief and dragged him back into the store in a chokehold before calling police. The weapon was a pellet gun. The 55-year-old Cornell lost his leg at age 12. The suspect, 23-year-old Eric Homen, pleaded not guilty to charges including armed robbery.

"Banned," they say. "Don't worry," they say. But beneath their words lurks a dark, terrible secret.

When I had a cast on my arm I would hold the elevator door open with it or carry many plastic grocery bags on it ;D

There was a granny in a wheel chair with a blanket over her lap when some thugs broke into her home and she shot them.

This purse snatcher got shot as the gun that was in the purse fell to the ground.
