Man who had his Porsche stolen holds suspect at gunpoint
ST. LOUIS – Andre Tunstall is part owner of Luxe Menswear on Washington Avenue in St. Louis’s Downtown West neighborhood.
Tunstall said he’s worked hard for his money. When he realized someone stole his Porsche on Wednesday, he was desperate to find it. He posted a message on Facebook and within a few hours, a tipster sent a message indicating the vehicle was in an alley in the Baden neighborhood.
Tunstall called St. Louis police, filed a report, and then the officers left the scene. He waited with his car because it had a flat tire and needed a tow. He believes that’s when a man who was the thief returned. Tunstall said the man went to a dumpster as if he knew something was there. He said the man pulled the car’s key fob out of the dumpster and then tried to take the car.
Tunstall said he pulled out his own gun and ordered the man to the ground until the police returned.
“He had his life spared and that’s not anything to brag about,” Tunstall told KTVI. “It’s just for him to move forward and be a good father to his kids.”

Well well, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes, today brings us a poor man’s trifecta; none deceased or in the wind, but three inconvenienced one way or another.
“Let us contemplate our forefathers, and posterity, and resolve to maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of the latter. The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.’ It is a very serious consideration…that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event.” –Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771

That XVR looks like it is for a detective who specializes in retiring combat-model Replicants and the occasional stray Dinosaur.
Also for those who say “…a forty five because they don’t make a forty six … oh look!”
11B,
Was just thinking the same about, “I carry a .45 because they don’t make a……..wait, what?”
A handsome piece of hardware, ain’t it?
What a great country it is, that we can Keep and Bear such marvelous things.
“…be a good father to his kids…”
Now that’s just plain pathetically naive, and also rather funny.
He has baby goats instead of children? Hmmmmmm…….
“Let me axe you a question, do you feel lucky, punk? Well, do you?”Or
Another data “point” in the eternal knife (axe) at a gunfight question.
Nothing like a concealable hand cannon. Prolly kick like an Army mule with the 300 mag cartridge. Or bust thru a bad guy like a Knightly offensive line during a certain gridiron contest that will be upcoming right shortly. Anyone else having an involuntary vascular reaction?
A poor man’s trifecta is STILL a trifecta. We’ll take it.
Perchance it is time to encourage the doom of the ones involved in the lawless attacks on our liberties? Let millions share the event of making them seriously miserable. Pitchfork? Torch?
.500, not .300. Worse! Better hit with the first round, you’ll have a recovery time measured in minutes for the second shut.
Storeowner named Tunstall… wonder if he is any relation. Not a common name.
Guys, its a .460. You have a bracket. Drop .040 and fire for effect.
(Grin)
Wid 2 or more we could call for a Time on Target! 😆 😆 😆
Think we need a spotter round? 😀
More range time people, more range time!!!
My friends dad was a postal worker that picked up the mail from the mail boxes and he worked localy and stopped at his house to pick up his lunch, so one day, we were in front of his house and his dad showed us his issued .45 wheel gun with the two half moon clips to hold the .45 Auto rimless rounds. this was back in the 1950’s. Had to be around 1955-56.
I was in my squadron’s Air Crew Locker Room getting ready for a flight- deserted except for a salty Viet Nam vet who was breaking down and inspecting his survival gear, something he did weekly instead of waiting on the 90 day inspection period. We were allowed a couple of pounds of “personal gear” in our vest. Mine was an extra canteen and some beef jerky.
His was a 1911-A1 and 50 rounds of .45 ACP.
Lesson learned.
mine was a smith Model 19-6 and twenty four rounds on speeds and an extra liter of water and an extra radio battery.
