That was beyond funny. THANKS SO MUCH. This vid is going to be shared with MANY MANY of my “gun control” friends. Leave it to the Shat man!
PS: If any of you like Shatner’s humor, check out some of his musical endeavors. They are the bomb! His last album Has Been was quite funny. One of our fave phrases now is “I Can’t Get Behind That.” Here’s a funny link of someone’s interpretation of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM6pYG1DQ4s
Mizzus Brady needs to see that one, Squantos!
Who the hell shoots an armed man in the foot?
That’s about the last thing you should do ever, and the last thing you would do ever.
Go for the head or you may wind up dead.
WTH are you talking about!? Shatner’s ancestors are from Poland and Hungary, not the Soviet Union. And this clip is the best defense of gun RIGHTS (anti-Gun control) I’ve seen on TV. Applause to Shatner...
“Watch... Wallet... GUN...” Denny Crane!!
He, (a lawyer in the show) of all people, should know the proper sequence is “Chest, Chest, Head” unless you want to pay for life because the scumbag is unable to steal for a living anymore.
C’mon dude!!
It’s TV so of course it’s going to be slightly unrealistic. If he would have pulled his gun out and said “Gun, Chest” and blown a hole through him and he died, that would not have been as funny. The idea of the scene is not to make it as realistic as possible, but to make it funny while proving a point about gun control.
I hope you don’t analyze all the old westerns the same way where the Lone Ranger would shoot the guns out of people’s hands. You’d never watch another movie again! Most of the gunplay in movies and TV shows is unrealistic.
At least when he did pull the gun out, the guy was looking away to put Denny’s wallet and watch in his pocket. It gave Denny an opportunity to pull the gun and shoot him. This type of thing must happen quite a bit because I don’t know how many stories I’ve read of people being held at gunpoint and someone pulls a gun on the perpetrator and shoots him. The stories never tell how it exactly happens so the scenario in the video seems plausible.
I get that it’s TV.
LOL! Wonderful!
I wonder if Shatner is supporting 0bama. If so then he is no fan of gun rights.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Great, I just sent an email link to my relatives and friends who own guns.

William Shatner
Born: 22-Mar-1931
Birthplace: Montreal, Canada
Gender: Male
Religion: Jewish
Race or Ethnicity: White
Sexual orientation: Straight
Occupation: Actor
Nationality: Canada
Executive summary: Captain Kirk on Star Trek
In his first TV show, William Shatner played Ranger Bob on Howdy Doody in 1954. In a beloved 1963 episode of The Twilight Zone, he played a passenger with a severe fear of flying. He played a crusading district attorney on the CBS series For the People in 1965, while Gene Roddenberry was filming the pilot for a science fiction series called Star Trek. When CBS cancelled For the People, and NBC told Roddenberry to shake up the cast and film a second Star Trek pilot, Shatner replaced Jeffrey Hunter as the captain of the Enterprise. While Star Trek went on to great success on television and in movies, Shatner’s Captain Kirk has become more identified with camp. With Shatner’s overacting, bad toupee, and his trademark delivery of lines with lengthy dramatic pauses, his performance as Kirk has been parodied endlessly, often by Shatner himself. Most of the cast and crew of Star Trek remember Shatner as an egotistical pain in the butt. He had a long-running friendship and feud with co-star Leonard Nimoy, who has said that Shatner’s sense of humor basically consists of bad puns and practical jokes.
After Star Trek, Shatner remained a TV star with the western Barbary Coast, the cop show T.J. Hooker, the sci-fi TekWar based on his novels, and as a fading but still egotistical lawyer on Boston Legal. He co-wrote and directed the fifth Star Trek movie — generally considered the worst. It is the only Star Trek film or episode to include a fart joke. Shatner has also directed episodes of T.J. Hooker, the 1990s Kung Fu, in addition to a horrendous science fiction movie called Groom Lake, starring Shatner and Dick Van Patten. In Invasion: Iowa, a 2005 reality series for Spike TV, Shatner travelled to Captain Kirk’s attributed home town of Riverside, Iowa, and pretended to film a movie, essentially “punking” the whole community.
Shatner owns a horse-breeding facility in Kentucky, and was sued by ex-wife Marcy Shatner when she alleged she received frozen horse semen for breeding purposes, when their divorce agreement spelled out that the horse semen was to be “fresh cooled”.
Shatner memorably destroyed “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” on his 1968 album The Transformed Man. In 2004 Shatner released another album, Has Been, which included a Shatner-Joe Jackson duet covering Pulp’s “Common People”, and Shatner warbling “I Can’t Get Behind That” with Henry Rollins.

Haha, that was pretty good.
I don't watch that show, or even know what it is, so is Shatner a bad guy, a good guy? Did they spin this episode to show the "evils of guns, and of white guys with guns"?
"Thank God for guns"...best damn line I've heard on TV in a long time.
