Friday morning feel good stories
In Olmsted County Township, Ohio, Wallace Hanley made a big ruckus in a home that wasn’t his causing the homeowner to confront him. They wrestled around awhile until the homeowner retrieved a firearm from under the cushion of the couch. His shot went wide and the two got back to their altercation until Wallace wrested the gun from his victim and ran outside after a threat to kill the homeowner and jumped in the car piloted by his accomplice Brian McCristall. Both adventurers were scooped up the police.
In Texas, Daniel Gaskey, a former Marine and a firefighter disarmed a thief with a knife in a convenience store after he took him to the ground. He was interviewed on Fox yesterday morning and he credits his Marine and firefighter training;
In Houston, Texas, a homeowner employed a scary black gun, described as an AK-47 in the news story (but who really knows what it was considering how the media calls everything an AK-47 these days). He heard someone trying to break into his son’s room, so the homeowner went outside. the fellow fired his own gun at the homeowner who returned fire – the sound of gunshots, sent two more folks from their cover, so Mr. Homeowner let loose another round at them. They took off so fast the group left one accomplice behind who un-assed the AO on foot.

What? No DRTs? Not even a DOT? (sigh) I guess you can’t win’em all.
Although I must admit the second takedown was excellent, considering the circumstances.
As for the other two, “Range time, range time, range time”.
Maybe add to that a weapons manipulation class or two.
In the takedown case, the guy’ must have thought that the knife gave him some extra power. He had a big pair of brass ones when he pushed the very big firefighter out of the way to get to the counter. I guess that he didn’t think much beyond that.
“You can’t second guess it when it’s the right thing to do.”
Amen.
No DRT? No spit out coffee? Double down tomorrow morning please.
