Pretty close. It was in June of 1971. Interestingly enough, Balley was actually shot by Prince George's County police Officer Lou Ciamillo, along with ATFD, [The BATF designation at that time] who was the only one who actually hit the peson he was aiming for, with his off-duty Walther .380 PPK.

The day I got my copy of The American Rifleman with the article about that is the day I became a 2nd Amendment nut...
That was probably most of a year after the incident, or maybe more. Been riled up about that sort of thing ever since.
