I liked this story:

Officer was at a disadvantage and a gentleman decided to help. He used a revolver (other sites say a .357 Mag) to hit the guy shooting at the officer.

Not to mention taking the shot with the revolver from possible over 150 yards away! :o
That is a great story.
Just goes to show that even though most encounters are at less than 3 yards, there is still a reason to practice at longer distances.
Very good point.
That's why you should always scope your carry revolver.
;)
Almost makes me think I should scope my G20. :D
Doesn't sound to me like he needed a scope. However he did it, he did it. "Don't neeeed no steeeenking rifle...." (This year): Armed old guys - 3 .... Bad guys - 0.

Make that: Armed old guys/gals - 8 .... Bad guys - 0.
Just saw on the news (with video).... 65 y/o woman chasing 5 (armed) robbers from her jewelry store, firing her handgun at them. This just gets better every week!
I'm visualizing him moseying on over to get his revolver to take a shot many people wouldn't think they could make.
Love his quotes: "... if I need to I
If you read the "Armed Citizen" feature in the American Rifleman mag each month, it sounds like the armed old guys never lose!
I have read that 24/25 violent uses of guns are defensive. Not a stat the anti gun crowd brings up very often. I have been unable to document that stat however.
Post #8 truncates for some reason, even on re-edit to fix. There might be a bug that's triggered by my post. :)
Was not going to write anything profound. Haha.
Are you trying to paste something? If yes then there are some issues with characters or breaks in the pasted material that could stop things from being pasted...
Yes. No problem. The website code is protecting itself from "SQL injection" attacks.
If characters are entered that have meaning in SQL commands, rather than passing them on, some codes will truncate the post.
Better to have it than a cracked website.
I think your complete quote was:
"...if I need to I'll, you know, get in on it."
It is the "curly" apostrophe rather than a "tick" in the work I'll that is used in the article. If I copy and paste their text, the work I'll has an apostrophe that slants bottom to top, rather than up and down. To produce that character on my Mac, I have to type shift-option(alt)-]. It is NOT the character to the left of the carriage return ('), nor the one above the tab key(`).
Best bet when something gets cut off is to replace all the actual quotation marks yourself. The degrees symbol also causes fits here.
