Flat Tire Leads to Gunfight in North Carolina, Trooper Shot in Vest with .44 Magnum

Seems pretty crazy, but the Trooper survived and put the BG to bed..

I'm glad the Trooper survived and that dirt bag isn't walking around anymore.

That’ll give you heartburn!

It's recommended you wait at 30 minutes after you eat before getting shot in the vest.

Lucky it hit the vest

Back in my EMS days, we responded to a house in which the irate wife shot the husband with his S&W Model 29...she hit him 3 times...two superficial hits in his arm and a through and through to his left chest...the guy disarmed his wife and was sitting on her when the police arrived...the guy then walked to the ambulance so we could take him to the hospital...Followed up and found he spent a few days in the hospital...

Shot placement counts. And will.

AMEN

I'm older than I care to admit (but interestingly, younger than my age...)

But, in my early LE days, there was this guy who invented 2nd Chance vests who would go to police academies and demonstrate his vest by shooting himself in the chest with a random gun from a recruit's holster! We were all normally carrying .357s. After shooting himself, he'd then engage a target and demonstrate that you could take a center mass hit and return fire effectively.

I think his name was Richard Davis. I scraped up the money to buy one! Most departments at the time didn't issue them.

I remember that guy and the videos he put out on VHS.

Richie Davis was a former pizza delivery guy in Detroit...The Second Chance factory was in Antrim County Michigan and he used to host the most awesome annual shoot at his place...ostensibly a bowling pin shoot but it had classes for literally everything...like clearing a table full of pins with a Thompson submachine gun...a total hoot...
The last year I went Richie got on the loudspeaker and asked the name of Tonto's horse...the first person with a correct answer walked away with a brand new 1911...and this kind of stuff went on for 3 straight days...

I watched a video where he shot a guy wearing a rifle rated vest, with a .308 Win from veritable point blank range and the guy standing on one foot. Just to prove that his best would stop a .30cal and that it doesn’t knock you off your……foot.

Did you know the horses name was Scout?

I did...just didn't get it out fast enough

More importantly, "What is the name of the Lone Ranger's nephew's horse?

Ha!

No one besides Zee knows the answer? Curious...

Ok. . . a .44 to the vest. I'm thinking the bruise was epic on the scale of Iliad AND Odyssey. . .maybe with War and Peace thrown in for dessert.

I'll just leave this here.
