Man killed in apparent road rage shooting in Glendale: police

By Brent Corrado
GLENDALE, Ariz.A man died following an apparent road-rage shooting near 67th Avenue and Camelback Road.

The incident happened just before 8 a.m. on Oct. 7 near 67th Avenue and Camelback Road.

Glendale Police say drivers of two trucks got into an altercation and one of them pulled out a gun and fired a single shot.

The man who was shot was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. He died not long after and was identified as 29-year-old Ramses Saldano Lopez.

The 23-year-old driver who allegedly fired the shot stayed at the scene and is cooperating with police. He has not been arrested.

“He has remained cooperative throughout the investigation and believed his life was in danger when he fired the singular shot,” Glendale PD said about the alleged shooter.

Mr. Lopez has had his anger management issues resolved. Thanks, Gun Bunny.

Self-Defense in a Wildlife Attack: No Gun? Use This

By Doug Howlett
It wasn’t with a gun, and it wasn’t against a predator of the two-legged kind, but it is one heck of a self-defense tale—or at the very least, a story of defense of man’s best friend.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is investigating a remarkable incident near Cañon City, where a man reportedly killed a mountain lion with nothing more than a shovel to protect himself and his dog. According to a report from Fox 31 News, the encounter took place late on the night of Thursday, September 26, when a CPW officer responded to a campground west of Cañon City. Upon arrival, the officer was met by a man who had the carcass of a dead mountain lion sprawled across the hood of his Jeep.

The man explained that he was sitting outside his car with his husky when they noticed a mountain lion approaching. His dog, a husky, quickly sensed the danger and began barking and growling at the predator, which continued to close in, eventually coming within about 10 feet of the pair. It was at this point that the husky, unwilling to back down, engaged the mountain lion.

Fearing for both his life and the life of his dog, the man grabbed the only weapon within reach—a shovel—and struck the mountain lion in the head. The blow proved fatal. While mountain lion attacks on humans are rare in Colorado, the man felt he had no other option, saying the lion had acted “unusual and extremely aggressive.”
Remarkably, neither the man nor his dog was seriously injured during the encounter, but that mountain lion sure was, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife is treating the incident as an act of self-defense.

Wasn’t there a Stolen Valor poser that “taught” (folding?) shovel self defense? The details elude me.
I wonder if Mr Jeep hit the cougar with the flat or the edge of the shovel head?
And will he be allowed to keep the pelt?
That would be and interesting tale to hear, “And there I was……”

Dennis - not chevy

Wasn’t it one of the cheese eating grape steeling Denny Chevalier’s sock puppets that claimed he taught using a shovel for self defense to active duty GI’s (though no one could find his CAGE code); or, was it the one who told us he lit squirrels on fire and threw them as hand grenades; or, are they the same person.

Tox, the folding shovel for defense/flaming squirrels for signal flares is the same guy and he’s:

There’s a dude out there who makes and sells new Luger based pistols in 45ACP. Pricey for the base model, but if you just won the lotto and have excess money burning a hole in your pocket……

“…pulled out a gun and fired a single shot.” “…died not long after…” And THAT, Girls and Boys is how it’s done. Aim small, miss small. BZ Citizen, no further range time needed.

Curiosity killed the kitty cat…well…actually it was a shovel being used by someone that understood the principle of “…bring every weapon to bear…” and “Fight back!”

Keep in mind that when the despots do away with the 2A, all of the other Amendments will be done away with also. Prepare

Classic Firearms are like Classic Cars and Classically Beautiful Women. Timeless and everybody wants one. Served with a few 3 war veterans back yonder that had a “liberated” Luger that carried them in each theater.

Tox, ya just had to go and tease the Gun Bunny and put that linky on Luger Man with the .45 model. Bad Tox! That’s a Magnolia Tree in the yard, not a money tree.

Gun Bunny,
Just ’cause I puts it out there, doesn’t means ya has to buy it. Sometimes it’s just nice to know it’s there, to look and to dream “what if”.
So go sits under the shade of your magnolia tree (I’m jealous I don’t have one, I live too far north), with a pitcher of fine Southern wine (sweet tea), relax, and dream of “what if”.

Speaking of ‘bear’:

Bear climbs over the gate of Gov. Ned Lamont’s home
Not saying I’m rooting for the bear but…

This tyrannical F-face signed [illegal] legislation that made guns ‘impossible’ to get unless one got permitted and they must be secured in a safe when not under direct control.

Because Corrupticant is now predator free*!

When I say “GO BEARS!” Imma not rooting for a Chicago Area Football Team. Too bad Mr. Bruin didn’t make a picnic basket out of the Guv.

COP CRC Timber Ranch, within 105mm range of Fire Base Magnolia, has a persimmon tree and scuppernong arbor that yearly attract Black Bear Families that hibernate locally. I’ve sat on the back porch many a time and watched them feast on the bounty in the late summer and autumn. Big Magnolia Tree inside the wire there, too. Also a Magnolia @ FOB Hawkins Hill.

Another little poke at Tox. I have relaxed under the shade of those Magnolias, sipping on Southern House Wine and/or Mint Juleps while snacking on a pecan pie (made from the pecan tree nuts) with a scoop of Black Walnut infused peach ice cream (yep, them trees are inside the wire), charming and wooing The Lady Friends with my ways.

Now, Gun Bunny, there ya go again, taunting me with such sweet dreams. With all those goodies you have, I may sell my house & move into yours.
My only problem is that Mrs Tox is anaphylactic allergic to walnuts. So you’re safe…..for now.

We’ll make The Mrs a scoop of ice cream sans walnuts…and if the pecans are an issue, she can have Peach Cobbler…with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Nobody goes hungry around The Bunny’s Quarters…NOBODY!

Believe the sequel to “Death Wish” in novel form hinged on a Luger .45 ACP? Brian Garfield, who wrote ” Hopscotch” among other good reads, the author.

(Sigh…) I so very much wish Pop was still around, so I could buy him one of those .45 Lugers. (And other reasons)

Miss ya, Pop.

And 10mm? Just…. wow.

Arizona in my opinion is the road rage capital of America. Everyone I know has a story to tell of someone acting like a idiot here on the roads
