Protest against gun and pawn shop at 63rd and Troost scheduled for October 10

Looks like a protest against the Smart Pawn shop, which sells guns and ammo at 63rd and Troost, is being planned for 5 p.m. October 10.

Miles Bonny posted the above image on his blog, adding that the info was taken from an e-mail from an employee of the Catholic Diocese of Kansas City/St. Joseph. Tony’s Kansas City posted a photo of the place with big letters spelling out “guns & ammo.” Apparently, the place used to be a Hollywood Video.

The pawn shop is near three schools (Hogan Preparatory Academy, St. Peter’s and Benjamin Banneker Charter Academy of Technology). I can’t stop shaking my head.
