I would have to agree. Once I have plastic in hand I'll have one in the chamber and 15 ready to go right behind it.

Man Killed While Trying To Buy Car In Dallas
(CBS 11 News) DALLAS A man was shot and killed late Sunday night after traveling from Waco to Dallas to buy a car.

The incident took place at The Reflections of High Point apartment complex in North Dallas.

According to police, the 21-year-old man responded to an online ad for the vehicle, and was lured up to North Texas to finalize the purchase. Investigators believe that the man may have been set up.

Police said that the victim was about to meet with the seller when he was approached by a man with a gun, robbed and then shot.

"He met with somebody earlier in the week and made arrangements to buy a car," explained Detective R.L. Ermatinger with the Dallas Police Department. "Came up here tonight to pick up the car, that's why he brought the trailer. When he came up here, he was robbed instead of buying a car. He ended up getting robbed and shot."

Police said that the victim had a license to carry a concealed handgun, but was unable to draw his weapon in time.

The name of the victim has not been released.
