He's doing well, but they took his gun until the investigation is complete.

So what does a good friend do?

I loaned him my CM9.*

He said he not only didn't use his sights, he doesn't remember any loud noise or recoil.**

He swept the shotgun muzzle away with his left hand, drew and fired across his lap with his right.

The perp saw the gun as he drew and began to step backwards.

When he fired the perp was moving/falling towards the rear of the truck.

It don't work like in the movies, friends.***
*Doc I always knew you were a Mench! Good on you.

**Not at all unusual in shootout situations. Auditory, and visual exclusion are very common occurrences.

*** AMEN!

Y'all be safe out there it's a mean world and it's getting meaner.

There's a big legal difference between Homicide and Murder.

Interesting you mention that. He had a guy from [Pre-paid legal service] come in and talk to us. I didn't sign up at the time because I don't make those sorts of purchases without the wife being on board.
Where in the DPS's syllabus is there a place for the [Pre-paid legal service] Guy come talk to the class? It sure isn't in the one I use. Stuff like that should be handled by simply passing out brochures or business cards. When asked, I always tell my students it is up to them if they want to pursue obtaining legal insurance.

Unless you have taken a human life or know someone who has had to take a life you would not question the outcome of this incident or others like it. I applaud the gentleman's actions and thank God he does not have to deal with all the emotional and psychological issues connected with killing another person.
