Maybe not a bad shot...maybe just lucky.

My last day as a cop saw me pull off an amazing feat of marksmanship: after catching three rounds, one of them in the lung, I somehow managed to fire four shots from my revolver. One of them hit the perp in the right eye and blew his entire freakin' head open.

To see my shooting scores from the Army and the police range, you'd never believe I could do that.

I'd rather be lucky than good any day.

Damn. That's a helluva retirement story.

I know an officer who was fired upon by a local wannabe bad ass in a small town years ago. The officer returned fire and one of the rounds hit the suspect directly between the eyes. I'm talking about having to take calipers to try to see if the round was millimeters closer to one eye than other.

I'm glad to hear it was the perp who lost his head and the good guy lived.

Afterward. were you mumbling "I'm getting too old for this sh!t" while your captain was threatening to bust you down to traffic cop?
