Gun-toting woman foils hold-up while getting her nails done

12/14/2012

Police in Casper, Wyo., say an attempted nail salon hold-up was thwarted earlier this month when a customer pulled her own weapon on the gunman. He reportedly entered Modern Nails on the evening of Monday, December 3, and asked one of the employees if she'd like to buy some diamonds. Witnesses say he then reached into his coat pocket and started to pull out a pistol. But another customer having her nails done beat him to it, reaching into her purse and producing her own gun. Seeing the weapon, the man fled. And that's why you never interrupt a lady when she's having her nails done. [Source]
