gunapp Quick Tip: If You Are Frustrated With Your iPhone, Dont Flash A 9mm In An Apple Store

Sometimes our iPhones do some really wacky things that push us to our very limits, but by no means should you tell an Apple Store employee that you are “So mad, I could pop a 9mm at it” before revealing that you actually do indeed have a concealed weapon like one man from Cincinnati did.

According to WCPO 9 news in Cincinnati, Donald Goodrich was upset that his iPhone wasn’t working properly, so he brought it to an Apple Store like any sane human being would do.  He then told the Apple Store employee that he was “So mad, I could pop a 9mm at it.”  The employee told Goodrich that there wasn’t any need for that, which obviously tested his emotions because he allegedly told the employee “I’ll do it right now. Look!” and then showed the handgun to the employee.

Instead of panicking, the employee told Goodrich that she would get his iPhone fixed and politely walked him over to a technician in the store.  She then told her manager about the situation, who called the police.

Goodrich is being charged with “aggravated menacing, causing fear of harm to an Apple Store employee.” He did have a concealed weapon permit, but he still faces charges for not telling the deputy on the scene that he had a handgun.

You have to give props to the lady for keeping a cool head, it’s probably not a situation you expect to be put in when working at an Apple Store.

  1. Good, I hope this man is convicted! I have a conceal carry permit also. There is no good excuse for this type of behavior.

    • apple store employee are rude not as nice.. they don’t know how frustrating when a phone doesn’t work right.. if he doesn’t let her see the gun she might not help him replace the unit might make him reschedule his appointment. I make online appointment with confirmation # when i get to apple store claim that it not in the system..have to reschedule it.. 2nd time i go there forget to bring my Sim card did not wanna see my phone problem. 3rd time i come back they said my warranty expire 3 days i have to pay to get it fix.. because it just expire.. maybe i need a gun like him for them to replace the unit before my warranty expire..I hope this man not convicted…
