y'all remember the shooting at the Canadian Parliament and how it was ended by Kevin Vickers, Sergeant-at-Arms.
What you don't know is that he's like a Canadian Max Payne.

Definitely bad ass, but that reporter... Automatic pistol, clip... [facepalm]Possible one of these?

Yeah. Bad ass.
Automatic Pistol? [facepalm]
I like how he "fires his pistol" with his thumbs at 1:45. [facepalm]
Does anyone know of any clip-fed pistols? [facepalm]
One of the bullets went through the library doors? WTF? JFK style magic bullet? [facepalm]
Weird. Either way, I'm glad the guy took down the threat like a boss.
there's a funny snl clip I could leave (like a boss), but I think that shooting stands on it's own. Awesome.
So a good guy with a gun kills a bad guy with a gun and saves countless innocent lives. Whooda thunk it?
Yeah, big shocker, right?Quote:

Why not just give the guy the props he deserves without over-analyzing the anti-gun culture in Canada? I doubt he wrote the damn laws.
E's a bad auss fo sho'r.
I want one of those full automatic pistol's with several clips.
Very Impressive for someone who's got a few years on most of us. Plus he did what one is suppose to do, discharge firearm until the threat is stopped.
It could happen at the Texas state capital in Austin.Quote:

When we went the CHL line was shorter than the regular line. In fact, there was no line. We walked past the 20 or so waiting in the regular line, flashed our CO CCW permits while asking... really? and were waived right through while explaining that armed citizens who passed background checks were more of a help to them than a threat. It's been years and I'm still dumbfounded by that idea coming out of a state employee's mouth.
Except that was a federal building.

Apologies for dragging this off topic. Respect to Kevin Vickers!
