I only ask that you consider being sure that your shooting glasses come high enough to cover the tops of your eyebrows, things can happen that you might never think possible.
Jackson, Mississippi, circa 1990...guy in a bar starts harrassing a young lady. Two men convince him to leave her alone before the bouncers get involved. No violence...nice end to an otherwise bad day.
Almost.
The two good Samaritans leave the establishment, drive to an ATM to get some cash, not knowing the fellow whose fun they had disrupted was waiting in the parking lot for them. Followed both to a bank on Lakeland Drive in North Jackson, where the ATM is in a vestibule that requires you to leave your vehicle to make a withdrawal. GS no. 1 gets out, walks towards the ATM, bad hair day guy pulls up, gets out with Glock in hand intent on causing GS problems. GS no. 2, sitting in truck sees this, opens glove box, removes his OWN Glock, calls a warning to his friend, and is greeted by bad hair day guy pointing a pistol at him. No. 2 fires one round which strikes bad hair day guy's pistol, disabling it. (Bad hair day guy soon realizes that being in a gunfight with a disabled firearm is a BAD thing...as soon as four more rounds of nine mil follow COM.) Takes off towards his vehicle. No. 2, adrenaline rush full on, follows and continues to fire, all rounds striking BHDG in various and sundry places. BHDG makes it to his vehicle, and makes what appears to No. 2 to be a "reaching under the seat motion". No. 2 then fires yet another round through the windshield into BHDG. BHDG is
STILL moving around in the vehicle. No. 2 walks around the back of the vehicle, and fires one last round through the back window, thus ending the confrontation. Round entered behind the right ear of BHDG, exited from the corner of his left eye. The
ONLY thing that saved No. 2 from a
loooong stint in prison was the fact that when the police arrived, they found a Mac within reach of BHDG's outstretched hand. Not sure of what type ammo was used, but I sure would like to know so I could avoid it. BHDG is
STILL driving around Jackson (my brother used to work with him) after taking fourteen rounds, at least four COM and one a through and trough head shot.
