“I am just waiting for the idiot media to start crying about the fact that it was just an SUV”

Like the woman mayor of Baltimore said about the looting and burning, “It’s just property.”

“Here, I’ve got something for you....”

And, it’s a real pretty purse. Has an Aztec design on the side with a large Aztec metal cross in the middle. If you see one of those, don’t mess with the owner.

Looks like he was on a spree of crimes....

Earlier Saturday morning, police received ‘multiple calls’ regarding the man who was later shot and killed..... He had reportedly ‘assaulted a woman’ and was driving about Orem with two passengers.

A short time later,.... he reportedly ‘stole a Ford pickup’ from the owner’s residence. The owner gave chase in another vehicle, with Orem police attempting to chase both vehicles.

Good for you!

Let us gun geeks know what kind of gear you decide on.
I’ve been carrying since 2011.

I go to the range once or twice a month. Use only body targets at 7 meters and 12 meters and sometimes do point blank draw and fire. All training is in condition 1 with IDF mod. draw and point shooting. People ask me all the time why so close up and personal? If the range to target is over 12 meters you should have you AR or 870 in use. Hand gun combat is up close and personal 99 % of the time so train that way.

Maybe they’re getting wise to our tendency to check out these perp’s records after the fact. Can’t let the public know what a dirt bag the guy actually was. It might make any protesters look bad.
