lift his shirt and reach for what looked like a 9 mm handgun in his waistband.”
Umm, no. This is bullsh*t.
What part of this is bullsh*t? The fact that the handgun was a 9mm or that there was no handgun? Would agree with the former, because I doubt he could tell it was a 9mm, but don’t agree with the latter that it is bullsh*t that there was a handgun.
The ID’ing part that he could tell it was 9mm and not .40
.45, etc. That’s all I was referring to.
