WELL DONE, good buddy!!

Patterson is man’s man after my own heart.

"You can yell at somebody, but pointing a gun at his head does a lot better job," Patterson said...

Truer words were never spoken...

We tend to do the right thing here in northern Idaho.

“Anyone else want to ‘negotiate’?”

[Grunthor]

Good man.

[Dr. Thorne]

Geez, I can't afford a Kimber. Only in CDA would the news report list the gun manufacturer and magazine capacity.

I'm sure that Ed Santos appreciates the shout out to Center Target Sports.

“with a six-shot clip.”

... all my 1911s have a seven round clip.

Is this a short Kimber?

*EIGHT in the Promags but they aren’t as reliable as the Sigs.

... all my 1911s have a seven round clip

I have clips for my Mosin-Nagant and CZ ammo, but my .45 ACP ammo does not.

Surely you meant magazine?

[Hugin]

Nice job. Too bad the guy got away though.

“In Idaho, there’s a lot of folks who carry a weapon with them, and they’re not afraid to protect their friends and family.”

That should be a common refrain in every state. Criminlas need to fear those with a CCW as much or more than the police.

He’ll be back out on the streets in no time committing other similar crimes. He did society a dis-service by not pulling the trigger and giving him some lead love.

“Truer words were never spoken...”

I felt the same way when I read this statement.

[An American!]

I love his theory:

“He has had a concealed weapons permit about 10 years. He has taken handgun courses. He has been on pistol teams. He has gone through instruction at Center Target Sports in Post Falls. He’s a hunter.
He lives by what he calls the sheep dog, sheep and wolf theory.
Wolves, he said, are the bad people. Sheep are the innocent ones. Sheep dogs are law enforcement and other “good men not willing to stand by and let evil triumph.”
“In Idaho, there’s a lot of folks like myself who are not willing to stand by and let evil triumph,” he said.”

A good outcome for the lady. Both the wife and I carry and both of us have many hours of training and range plunking.

[Billthedrill]

Plenty of guns on the CDA streets including mine. There are two issues I'd like to bring up - first, that no shots were fired, which is the case some 80-90% of the time, and that because of that this incident is NOT counted in federal statistics as the successful employment of a firearm in self defense. When you hear the usual anti-firearms propaganda about a firearm being "nine times more likely to be used on the owner" that's the reason.

Secondly, the citizen involved took the trouble to get training (Center Target is awesome!) and did a couple of things right: de-escalated upon a tactical assessment and didn't try to hold anyone at gunpoint for later arrest. That's not his job, that's the police's job and they're pretty good at it around here, thank you. People sometimes think armed citizens are a bunch of yahoos out there playing James Bond, which is natural enough because that's what the national media are bleating all the time, but it isn't the case.

I don't doubt for a moment that this gentleman would have fired had he assessed the situation to be an impending murder. More to the point, neither did the perp. And that's how it ought to be.

Remember, I was quoting from the article.

I think we all know the difference. ;-)
