A 25-year-old man with a permit to carry a concealed firearm shot a 43-year-old man who allegedly was terrorizing a West Philadelphia neighborhood Monday evening, police said.The man was shot in the right knee and was transported by police to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was listed in stable condition, said Chief Inspector Scott Small.
Just before 5:50 p.m., two 19th District officers on foot patrol were approached by a witness describing a man behaving erratically nearby in the unit block of North 57th Street, Small said. As the officers approached, they witnessed the shooting.
The younger man, who was in the neighborhood visiting family members, had an active permit to carry and was cooperating with police, Small said. Police took his semiautomatic handgun.
Witnesses said the older man, who was a local resident and appeared to be under the influence, was punching cars and people, and at one point used a rock to shatter the rear window of a Mitsubishi SUV, Small said.

That thar Bay Rhetta may have officially taken the place of the Vaunted Design of His Most Saintly JMB (Howitzer Be His Name), but if you really want to knock out a target, especially a jukebox, better get you a .45. Just ask Bubba. And since poor Ol’ overworked under/no paid AW1 Ed forgot to do a linky on that abomination of a sidearm, here’s a Wiki Linky for y’all:

Gun Bunny still hard at it on the reworkings of Combat Outpost CRC Timber Ranch. News feeds have been real screwy lately and only loading about a 1/3 of a page for each section of the Country. Been a real dearth of FGS or anything else of late. We will endeavor and we will persevere.
Retired Wing Wiping Brother and his Bride of 34 years started their journey back to Dakota this morning, Sad Song, I ain’t lying. And in many a Southern State, today 26 April is observed as Confederate Memorial Day. Many Grubermint entities in Georgia are working hard to destroy “All Things Confederate”, but the Grubermint employees still have an Official Paid Holiday for this date. Other States observe 10 May and/or 3 June.
If that guy had been at the knife fight the other
day he could have shot the woman in the knee and
she would be alive today.
Lash Larue carried a bull whip and used to knock out the bad guys six shooter and Lashe’s tilted cowboy hat would never fall off.
See, the police could just shoot in the leg everyone that is causing problems. Except of course in the case there does not appear to be a deadly threat so this might turn into a prosecution.
Da Baretta… like trying to shoot with a Coke can.
