I say good for him! But, he should have a CCW permit if he is going to conceal it. Little details like that make it tougher on those of us that do abide.

 

I wish he'd had a carry permit, but justifiable shoot in any case. Kinda crazy how one of the .40 rounds ended up in the barrel of the 12 ga.

 

I am puzzled why he would allow his image to be displayed by the media if he is worried about retaliation. I wouldn't make that choice.

 

When this is over, Mr McCullough needs to find a new state to call home. All 3 are (were) known gang members. Even though, according to the second article the dead guys parents have made a plea for no retaliation. Right, the local gang members will listen to this. This guy needs to move a few thousand miles away. As the song goes, Know when to hold em, know when to fold em, know when to walk away and know when to run. What he did seems completely justifiable. Especially the round that went up the barrel, nice shot. However punks are punks, when this blows over and he is cleared for a justifiable shoot I hope he has somewhere else to call home.

 

Yep, when the dust settles and all legal questions concerning that conceal weapons ticket are answered he needs to find a new place to call home. He pretty much single handedly killed one, captured another and provided information to arrest a third known gang member. It may be 6-12 months away, but there will be retaliation against him.

 

"Yes, like I say, my son was in the wrong,” said Terry. “But he didn't have to shoot him that many times with that size of a caliber of a gun."

...what? Yeah, let me run home, grab my .22, and shoot him in the knee. No reason to be in a hurry with a 12 gauge pointed at you or anything.

 

wow, one bullet in the barrell of the shotgun, what are the odds?

People will often become fixated on weapons being pointed at them with their shots striking the weapon or weapon-bearing limb

 

[smart a$$/sarcasm voice on]

Wait....there are "gangs" in Omaha fricken Nebraska?!?! What is our country coming to?!

I hate to be the one to take the macho Rambo stance, but F the gang bangers. They're not pushing me out of my town. Mail 'em a copy of one of Bronson's Death Wish DVDs.

Yes, I'm serious.

It's when the good people give up that the world/state/county/city/neighborhood goes to crap.

Very true - I've seen it happen up close and personal.

If gangs listened to parents their would be far less gangs, probably no gangs.

A lot depends on the gang. All gangs are not created equal, and the term gang affiliation is often over used. That's not to say there would not be any retaliation, it's just to say, all gangs are not as organized and violent as the ones on TV. Many are just a bunch of baggy pant punks that are a menance to society much like in the past before the term "Gang" became so prevelant. They would have been just called a bunch of punk thugs back then. Considering the one guy had an empty gun trying to rob a drug store, I'd be willing to bet this is the "less scary" gang, i.e bangy pants punks thugs wanna be's. They are probably more afraid of him than he is of them.

Sounds like the East Harnett Crips or whatever those scumbag idiots in Dunn are calling themselves now. They have one old S&W .32 top break and one Lorcin .25 between them, and only bullets for the .25. But to hear em talk dey sum bayud azzes. :tongue:

 

Standing your ground is admirable, moving is easier than watching slow moving cars for the next 2 years.

And this is also how and why point shooting works. What you fix your eyes on is what you aim at, generally. In close it can work very well. If you can hard focus on the chest, that's where the rounds will be going. If you hard focus on the gun, same thing. Odd's are probably still astronomical that you put one in the barrel though.
