First person accounts of Defensive Handgunning - Page 2

Many years ago a relative who was a police officer was working a part time job watching a large menswear store overnight, prior to a security gate being installed. I went out to take coffee and sit & talk guns, family etc. The store was located about four blocks from the clubhouse of a local motorcycle gang. About Midnight, 10 - 12 bikes roared into the lot and started rolling around the car. My cousin shook his head and placed a 1911 .45 on the dash and looked at me. I shrugged and placed a 1911 .45 on the dash. He reached down, grabbed a S&W Highway Patrolman and placed it on the dash, I put a S&W model 60 on the dash. He reached over the back seat and pulled a Pump shotgun to the front seat. I said "sorry, thats all I've got". They roared out of the parking lot.

A lot of overkill but it definitely kept a problem from developing.
