Monday morning feel good stories

| January 18, 2016

In Wayne County, West Virginia, James Daniel Hicks was shot by a business owner after an altercation when Hicks broke into a convenience store after the hours of operation. Police took Mr Hicks to the hospital for his non-life threatening injuries.

In the self-solving problem department, a 17-year-old in Chatham, Illinois shot himself in the leg while he was trying to rob another citizen of that fine city. Hes in police custody and his intended victim was unharmed.

In San Antonio, Texas, a car thief was cutoff by a police car, and I guess he thought that it would be cool to go out in a blaze of glory, so he exited the car and fired at the police officer, who returned fire. Mr Car Thief was DOT (dead over there) at the hospital. The officer was unhurt.

So, another of the gang banger community hasn’t figured out that it may look cool to stuff your gat in your pants like in the rap videos, but in function, you end up like Plaxico? That’s one of the differences between licensed CCW types and the thugs; we use proper holsters.

Hmm – a 3 for 3 “batting line” (with 1 HR and 2 other extra-base hits) for the good guys. Not too shabby.

I would categorize the self-shooter as an “error” rather than a hit. All good, though.

Jeff

I would say reached base on an error.

Hondo

In this case, the official scorer cut the fielder some slack and ruled it an extra-base hit. After all, the perp did end up (1) shot, and (2) in custody, while (3) failing to complete his crime and (4) causing no injury to his intended victim. (smile)

The Slammintonio cops take their range time very seriously. I haven’t seen many “wounded by police” reports since I moved here.
Great stewards of our tax dollars…

Tom Huxton

yeah, that last shot to the head cuts down on citizen lawsuits.

nbcguy54ACTUAL

I reckon. Point a gun at an SA cop…

Of course, the Bexar County deputies are pretty good shots too.

‘shot himself in the leg’ – priceless.

Keep ’em coming.

let’s try again.

That video has been around for a while. The man who shot himself posted it online to show the dangers of being in a rush and a particular type of holster for the 1911.

The SERPA and similar holsters are not safe to use with a 1911. Here is why

Nice buns. Nice package.

Dave Hardin

I knew you were drooling over him all day long.

Dave Hardin

That guy was willing to post his video knowing that he would be ridiculed for it, but did it anyway so others would be warned about the safety issue with the SERPA and 1911

Ex-PH2

Okay, but this is my favorite.

Casey

Did someone mention Plaxico Burress?

Ex-PH2

The drill team skills in this link are something else.

The DOT fellow probably is facing a blaze all right, but I doubt it has anything to do with any level of glory!
