Utah man shot twice in altercation now faces charges
By Pat Reavy
SALT LAKE CITY — A man shot twice now faces criminal charges after investigators determined the gunman acted in self-defense.Nicolas Bravo, 22, of Cottonwood Heights, was charged Wednesday in 3rd District Court with aggravated burglary, a first-degree felony, and aggravated assault, a second-degree felony.
On May 18, Bravo went to the residence of a Midvale woman and started knocking on the door. The woman didn’t want to answer, “but after approximately two hours” another man who was with the woman told her she should answer because “Bravo wasn’t going away,” according to charging documents.
As soon as the door was opened, Bravo pushed the woman out of the way and put the man in a chokehold after hitting him in the head, the charges state.
During the struggle, the man’s gun, which was in a holster, fell out, according to the charges. The man has a concealed carry permit.
Bravo told the man he would kill him, according to the charges. Fearing that Bravo would get the gun and use it against him, the man was able to grab it first and shot Bravo’s ankle while still being choked.

A double Trifecta today, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. Three achieving ambient temperature, another three either hospitalized or incarcerated, and none reported in the wind. Not too shabby.
Without either the first or second amendment, we would have no liberty; the first allows us to find out what’s happening, the second allows us to do something about it! The second will be taken away first, followed by the first and then the rest of our freedoms.

“Take it, Sam!”
Perfect. Can’t be changed in any way.
If any of you individuals have another way to improve, fire when ready.
(This is gonna get good.)
Nothing like a double trifecta FIRST thing in the morning. Makes the coffee and donuts that much sweeter. Now we can only hope that the 3 wounded dirtbags catch themselves a nice staph infection requiring amputation at the neck.
Nice little Pony backup piece shown above. Had one like that, but ex #2 ended up with custody. The Taurus copy was a semi close replacement for it until the tragedy of the boat accident during the tornado while crossing the quicksand bog.
Going to go off track here; If not allowed, I am sure I will be alerted. My Father has a Stevens(Savage) 29A .22 that he used as a child. I bought him a case for it to take it and getting it checked out. Was never a toy. Used it to fill the pot as a teenager. Thank you.
It is always loaded.
Well, screwed this up…
Does anyone out there know the specifics of a Stevens (Savage)29A .22 ?
This site purports to have the Savage 29A manual in PDF format:
https://pdfread.org/download/savage_model_29a_manual.pdf
Downside is you have to sign up for a “free 1-month trial membership” to get it. I thus can’t verify that the manual they have is the correct one.
I have seen info on firearms forums about the Savage 29A containing a caution and a warning. The caution: don’t use modern high-velocity .22 ammo in the rifle; it wasn’t designed for it, and using same could damage the rifle. (The forums implied that standard velocity .22 LR should be OK. The warning: a few 29As (and a few other pump .22s) reputedly had been found to fire when pumped without a trigger pull. Thorough cleaning seemed to solve the problem in many cases. A stuck and protruding firing pin (due to dirt/old oil or WD40 varnish) or other mechanical issue with the gun was thought to have been the cause.
FWIW: if it’s been a long time since the rifle was fired, you might want to have it checked by a gunsmith to ensure it’s still safe before using it again.
Hell, Hondo, until you have had a model 97 or 12 Winchester and slam- fired a few magazines’ worth, you haven’t had fun with a shotgun!
Thanks, Hondo. The rifle has not been fired in over 40 years. We were going to have it looked over. Dad has said, “needs a new firing pin.”
Going to see a gunsmith in the next few days.
3/10/MED/b out
Going to a gunsmith to answer said questions. Thanks.
But no one needs an AR-15 except on the battlefield!
Guns are loud and scary. Only bad people want gunz.
Looks like it wasn’t a zulu day for Mr. Bravo.
