Great that your friend made it out of this situation. The 709, as I understand it, is DA/SA. I assume he then fired from DA. This type of encounter is the exact reason you need to carry with one in the chamber. Pull and fire.doc540 wrote:http://www.12newsnow.com/story/19253451 ... successful
Just talked to him.
He prepared.
He trained.
He acted prudently.
He's alive.
Perp is wounded and in jail.
Cliffs:
Truck in the next parking space
Perp jumps out, throws down on him with a shotgun
Friend is seated with one foot inside his Jeep Cherokee
Keeps talking to perp and pushing shotgun barrel sideways
Says he's getting his wallet.
Pulls his Taurus 709 Slim from kidney carry
Fires once
Perps falls backwards, drops shotgun, jumps up and runs
K9 finds the perp shot through the hip and hiding.
Friend goes home alive to his wife and kids.
