I came around and he pointed the gun at me and said, 'Tell your friend he'd better hand over the money.' He wasn't even talking loud enough that you could hear him audibly.

When he saw me he pointed the pistol at me and said, 'You better tell your buddy to put the money in the bag,' I looked down and said,'That's a BB gun.' He just kind of looked at me and the customer standing at the front of the counter started laughing at him.

I have a scar on my nose from being shot with a BB, so yeah, it can hurt. I'm sure if they put it point blank in your eye it could do serious damage.

He walked in stood at the front door and had the gun pointed sideways at the clerk. There were few customers in line.

It's tough to say how much membership loss we're going to have. For the recreation rower, it's convenient now because it's in the west end. They are five minutes from the water. If they want to go to Lake Fanshawe it's not as appealing anymore. Plus, the water out there are a little more treacherous because it gets choppy.

If the plans stay as is, we're going to have to find some other place to go. Basically our club will be in severe financial straits. And I know it will be hard for the canoe club as well.
