Thursday morning feel good stories
First up this morning is Anchorage, Alaska, where Matthew Willhite interceded when an armed shoplifter scuffled with mall security when they tried to apprehend him. The shoplifter pulled a gun on the Mall cops as Matthew approached. Matthew pulled out his own handgun and forced the thief to drop his own.
Laurencia Gamboa broke into a garage in Redondo Beach, California and tried to steal a motorcycle. Unbeknownst to him, the homeowner’s alarm system warned him on his cell phone of the breech. When Gamboa wheeled the motorcycle out of the garage, the armed homeowner met him. Gamboa charged him and the homeowner shot him in the leg, ending Gamboa’s crime spree.
In Harris County, Texas, two armed convenience store robbers didn’t notice the sheriff’s deputy when they tried to rob a store. The deputy let his presence be known with a verbal warning followed by some gun shots, but it doesn’t look like either was injured. The deputy had to chase them to their get away car before he arrested them.

Send the Texas deputy to spend some time on the desk until he spends time on the range. Misses easily become hits on the wrong target.
Lesson # 1:
Don’t ‘ef’ with mall cops in Alaska!
Actually, it should be ‘don’t mess with pizza cooks in Alaska’, the mall cops were unarmed, the good citizen was just a shopper.
Harris county Texas is Houston. The cops don’t get much of a chance to shoot at a perp. The citizens down here have a practice of shooting them first !!!
That’s why I love Houston, you can shoot back !!!
1. OODA is your friend. +1
2. Proper application of Intel assets. +1
3. Improper use of taxpayer assets. Please send the public servant to tactical and weapons proficiency re-training. -1
In all fairness to the sheriff deputy, the perps down here in Harris county can run really fast. They know that they have targets on their backs after all.
