Here's an awesome story from the Sun today.
Shop owner beats gun-toting bandit
Gatineau robbery goes horribly wrong ... for thieves
The tables were turned on three men who tried to rob a Gatineau pawnshop at gunpoint last night - when the owner beat one of them up, putting him in the hospital.
Gatineau police say three men, one of them armed with a gun, entered Aladdin Pawnshop on 374 Notre Dame Road at 5:10p.m.
And demanded cash.
But the owner refused to give it up, attacking one of the thieves. A customer helped hold the suspect while the other two fled. The would-be robber had to be taken to hospital in an ambulance. The pawn shop owner suffered minor injuries, the customer was unhurt.
A Gatineau Police officer is sitting guard over the suspect at the hospital, while the incident is under investigation.

Probably not the smartest thing to do against 3 thieves, but still cool. I'm happy the guy is okay.
