There was a shootout at the Tyler Texas Court House today involving a Mexican Man who was the subject of a domestic case (and everybody thinks murder cases are dangerous). The Mexican Man reportedly had a Semi Auto Rifle with a high cap mag and was killing his wife by shooting her. He also wounded two Peace Officers who responded to the shooting. Also killed was a Texas CHL Holder who came to the rescue of the woman and officers. The Mexican Man who was shooting the the officers was confronted by the CHL Holder who entered into the gun battle. The Mexican Man had on Body Armor and the CHL's rounds had no or little effect so the report goes. Other Texas Peace Officers taking exception to his attitude and actions killed the Mexican Perp a short distance down the road.

Guys, whether you are in North Hollywood or Tyler Texas, use good tactics if you ever become involved in an armed confrontation, first go to cover unless your belly to belly with the perp and if you put two to somebody's chest and they do not go down, you'd better start making head shots or fall back for a rifle.
When you pratice at the range, get a three pound coffee can, cut out both ends and take some white paint and color a circle using the can as a template. Pratice keeping your rounds in the circle. A moving head is a lot harder to hit, but point of aim(accuracy) shooting is a must. In the early 70s we use to use the coffee can trick for point shooting at 3,5,and 7 yards. The point being to keep them in the circle while not aiming but point shooting at those close distances. Later on the drill became two to the chest, one to the head and they all fall down dead. Shooting at the pelvic area is also considered good form by LE if the perp is believe to be wearing Body Armor.
Good luck Guys and God Bless the Brave CHL Holder.
