Thursday morning feel good stories
From Arlington, Texas;
According to Arlington police, an unidentified man was jogging to the gym Wednesday when he noticed a truck following him in the 6000 block of Poly Webb Road, near Interstate-20.
Reports say a juvenile passenger got out of the truck brandished a gun and demanded money from the jogger. The jogger, who was also armed, resisted, pulled his weapon and fired several times. Bullets hit the suspect in the groin area. The injured suspect ran back to the truck and quickly left the scene.
From Des Moines, Iowa;
The witnesses then told police that they believed two men, including the shooting victim, had tried to rob an apartment resident.
That man reportedly chased one of the assailants out of his home, but found the second man inside the apartment when he returned. The two started arguing, and the apartment resident eventually shot the robber in his chest, the witnesses told police.
The gunshot victim was expected to survive, Doty said.

We legally armed citizens can, and will, shoot those who would attempt to take our lives, the lives of our family, friends and others around us, as well as trying to take our goods. We value what we have and will do what we must to continue to enjoy our lives. Shooting the miscreants is not a problem when we know that it is “them or us”.
“Shot in the groin”
Just….ouch.
Perhaps the high velocity vasectomy will keep this thug in training from breeding more thuglets
Sad part is that an inch or so over and it could have been the Femoral Artery instead.
Problem would have been solved permanently.
“quickly left the scene”
Didn’t even bother to pick up his junk off the ground.
One way to clean out the gene pool
Vasectomy? Naw, Doc, he’s been gelded. Permanent, no possibility of parole. (snerrkk)
For a juvenile male that has to be a scary event.
I hope it ruins his fun for life.
Amen
Let’s hope that punk done lost his junk.
With apologies…..
“Shot in the groin
But it’s too late
You give theft a bad name….”
Oh shame on you…..
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!
Next time post a friggin’ spew alert….
From this day forward, he will be known as “No Nuts Johnny” I admit, I had to giggle a little when I read that! I love a good groin shot!
My old home town. I have told everybody here at TAH that”Don’t mess with Texas” meant more than littering. Joe
Robbing…..a…..jogger……I am obviously not working with a lot of details but that seems probable low payoff for the crime…..but who thinks most crooks can do a decent cost/benefit analysis…I run with an ID on me and leave the wallet at home…
I would like to know type of weapon, carry style etc. I’m thinking maybe ankle biter in .380 or smaller but still, the jostling would be an issue no matter how you did it unless you just make it so obvious that no one would even try.
How about a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter in .44 mag holstered in a Galco SA cross carried on the chest. It stays put and if you fall it is right there and easy to draw.
“here take my wallet”
Ever since my cop brother lost his ankle gun running after a bad guy, I’ve not been a fan of the ankle holsters or the guns that fit in them.
Oh, the bad guy did not get his gun – and he did retrieve it, embarrassed by the mishap.
While I was on my ME adventure, I maintained my physical fitness routine by running around the FOB. I was one of few soldiers that had the “old school” pistol belt from which I attached my holstered M9. I used a cheap leather holster with an attached mag pouch, and tethered the heater to the belt with a stout lanyard. There was very little discomfort, and I was secure knowing I had a means to deal with ill mannered ruffians whenever necessary. This method of remaining secure would probably not go over well where I lived after returning since I lived in very close proximity to a large university, and open carry was not allowed by mere citizens at the time.
But, yeah… I run with my I’d in a card carrier around my neck. You want to follow me home so I can get some cash out of my pants pocket? pshh…dumbass.
Longtime friend of mine was assaulted while riding his bike (for exercise) one morning in Houston many years ago.
Again – not much in the way of a payoff when joggers and bikers don’t carry much with them. Maybe their iPhone?
But I’ve seen advertised a belly-band holster that conceals a decent hand cannon beneath a loose top. IMHO worth a look for instances like this.
Belly-band holster with a S&W Model 642 Airweight .38+P revolver and a folding tactical knife.
Both practical and functional.
The jogger didn’t have a permit. I’m interested in finding out what the DA does in Arlington.
A bit off topic, but I just watched HackSaw Ridge last night. I realize certain parts were sensationalized, but it’s a true story, OK! When I heard that the movie was coming out I started to research Cpl Doss. Someone else on here said it way better than I could, when they said it was just amazing the man could even walk with Brass Balls that big. He is a true American Hero and was one badass dude. What I can’t get through my fat head is, why did Hollywood recently decide to make a movie about him? What the fuck happened in 1945 or 46 that they could not make one? This cat was no ordinary man, and certainly no ordinary soldier. I get almost choked up when I read about him. I would have paid handsomely to meet him. What an honor that would have been. He just makes you want to be a better person. Mike
