Southern Pines police are investigating an armed robbery that happened just after 2:30 a.m. in downtown Southern Pines.
The incident took place in the 100 block of West New Hampshire Avenue. Police say two suspects approached an individual while he was walking down the street. One of the subjects was armed with a handgun, police said.
The two subjects, both black males, are described as 20 to 25 years old. One is 5'8" to 5'9" and the other is described as 6"0 and "athletically built."
The two subjects took personal items from the victim. They were seen leaving the area in a maroon, mid- 1980s four-door sedan with a third subject.
The victim was not harmed in the incident.
Police are asking that anyone with information call 910-692-1481, or the crime tip line at 693-4110.

"One is 5'8" to 5'9" and the other is described as 6"0 and "athletically built."
I'll bet when the 5'9" guy reads this he will say "that does it, I'm hitting the gym. These moobs got to go."

Looks like NC's restrictive concealed carry laws at work. At 2:30 am, someone walking around is clearly coming from a bar. And since NC doesn't allow you to conceal in a bar, the criminals can be sure that the law abiding citizens will be unarmed.
Criminals pretty much have a guarantee that their targets will be easy and unarmed as long as they just rob people inside or coming outside of: bars, hospitals, educational property, assemblies, public gatherings, any event where a fee is charged, parades, funerals, picket lines, public demonstrations, areas of emergency or riots, on state property, legislative buildings, banks, Ft. Bragg, etc.
. . . but other than that, you're free to protect yourself.
