I’ve been reading a lot of Louis L’Amour lately, and lawmen did have to deal with armed criminals and it can be done.... very politely!

Tom Select did a couple Louie's stories, they were great even if the were apparently shot only with low def video, at least I have not found any studios quality copies. The Sacketts. My wife has about all of Louie's books.

Aren’t those wonderful??? “Cross trail” is probably my favorite - guy gets shanghaied on the way to obtaining cash to save the ranch. He dies aboard ship and the Selleck character promises to take care of the guy’s wife who has been waiting.

Another fave is “Last of the Breed,” which is a more modern tale. An ace military jet pilot is taken and held captive in Siberia. He manages to escape and has adventures as he headed eastward toward the Pacific. I’m not sure, but I have a distant clang of a memory that it was under discussion to be made into a movie. If it is, I’d love to see it!

My father introduced me to Louis L’Amour when I was about 7 or 8 years old; first one I can remember reading was FLINT.
Read every one since.
My Dad was a Texan, WW-II Armored Soldier (11’th Armored Div), and GREAT FATHER.
Sure do miss him.
