UPDATE: Legends owner Gordon Lee has aggressively dealt with theft in the past. He was once injured attempting to stop a vehicle after two women stole puzzles from his store. He has also been twice charged for distributing obscene comic materials, each time receiving legal representation from the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. (Further reading from Wikipedia.)

A comic store in Rome, Georgia was robbed by two men who used a stun gun to get what they wanted. The loot they were after? A single binder of Magic cards. The card shop, "Legends," valued the binder at about $1,000. Owner Gordon Lee was allegedly stunned by the firearm during the incident according to a report by the Rome News-Tribune:

"Lee said the men were in Legends earlier in the day. He said that when they returned, [alleged assailant Wayne Princeton] Kelley attempted to use the stun gun on him.

'It stung like a bee sting, but I pulled away,' Lee said."

Two suspects were apprehended after one was alleged to have dropped his wallet in the store, leaving his ID card.
