RF hasn’t secured his Texas CHL yet, but he may want to accelerate that process. Or maybe stay out of South Austin. “A man responding to an activated security alarm at a South Austin church fired at a suspected burglar who tried to run him over with a car Friday morning, police said.” When an un-named man was notified of the alarm and arrived at the Texas Oaks Baptist Church, he found Jesse Silva nosing around on the property. Silva then hopped in his car and steered toward the responder. That’s when he went all Mannix on him . . .
From kxan.com:
Fearing for his safety, the man then fired 8-10 shots at the car, striking Silva once in the chest, according to the affidavit.
The man told police he knew he had hit Silva with at least one bullet, because he saw the windshield shatter and the fleeing driver jerk the steering wheel.
Two unidentified people dropped Silva off about 30 minutes later at South Austin Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the chest at 3:30 a.m. He was transferred to University Medical Center Brackenridge with non-life threatening injuries and released into police custody for an outstanding felony warrant.
Silva told police he had been shot near downtown, but a check of police reports turned up no calls involving a weapon downtown, the affidavit said. He then refused to answer any more questions, police said.
The vehicle Silva was suspected to be driving was found less than a mile from the church, and was covered with bullet holes, broken glass and blood, the affidavit said. A pry bar was also found in the car, according to the document.
Mr. Silva’s now changing the bandages on his chest wound and facing vehicular assault, burglary and unauthorized use of a vehicle charges. No word as to the caliber the responder used, but we’re guessing that car’s been pretty much totaled.
I have the short version. All the crying and moaning amazes me, I looked at the specs, picked it up, looked at all the accesories available and decided it would work just fine.. I have a Mossberg MVP patrol in .223 ordered and suspect I will enjoy it a lot while the naysayers continue to complain about caliber, weight, color and whatever else you can imagine. With all the great choices available, how hard is it to find something that fits? Well, keeps the forums energized at least.
I guess he wasn’t trying to find the late night Bible study, huh?
Trying to me his Maker?
I still meet people that think you ca buy a gun in a store without a background check.
I fail to see the logic in the excuse that by allowing trophy hunters to kill elephants it will prevent the poachers from killing elephants.
Wouldn’t that just mean there would be more people killing elephants and ultimately more of them killed?
I was brought up thinking that 1 + 1 = 2.
Poachers are going to keep on murdering these caring and intelligent animals until they are extinct. Trophy hunters only contribution to the problem is to accelerate that extinction.
Why not make it legal and actually pay trophy hunters a bounty for each poacher killed? After all, man is the most dangerous prey!
+1 on South Park taking no prisoners.
I can say that I’ve seen every episode at least a few times. They ALWAYS attack BOTH sides, with very little bias.
If they break protocol, I will be very surprised and upset. Not that they s*** all over us, but that they weren’t true to the show and themselves.
