Longmont Police officer shoots man in gun battle near shopping center

[45XD]

Props to the cop...
... but when the rest of the damn libs get hold of this, the rest of us are f***ed...

I mean f***ed worse.

Sounds like the officer did a good job of keeping his wits about him and returning fire. I'd like to hear some details on this. That's twice recently where guys have been stopped for traffic and got out of their cars with an AR. I think the other was near Cleveland? Both times the officers armed with handguns prevailed.

It's the archer, not the arrow. Great job by the officer.

Truth!
Glad he made it out okay, but yes, Bailey is right, what's the deal with these maniacs getting defense rifles and shooting cops that pull them over? Watch, come July 1, if these things happen we can all wave our fingers in the Dems faces and go "YOUR LAWS DID NOTHING!!! SEE!!!!"

I don't want to turn this into a political debate. I am glad the officer is okay and I am very curious to see what further details there are regarding this. I have to say though, come July 1, if this happens more, we won't be waiving our fingers in the Dems faces...the Dems will make more legislation stating, "See, the only way to make you safe is to get all these weapons off the street, we need more laws."

Oh yeah, because if crime goes down, they'll say it's because of the laws, but if crime goes up, they'll say it's because we need more. I forgot, you can't talk logic with these people.

Just wait. When the 94 AWB / Crime bill was up every swinging dick shooting was plastered all over the media. Within the last 19 years the media / twit / faceplant info highway has a baby burping the gilligans island theme going "Viral" within seconds.
Gun Control advocates [incld MSM] will do everything possible to place 6 pointed yellow stars on gun owners [not that they haven't already] demonizing them as "Dangerous, threats to society"

WAY OT TIN FOIL HAT NEXT FEW WORDS:

I would not be surprised to see something where a "Gun Owner" went on a rampage at NRA headquarters.

Headline to read.

GUN NUT, GOES NUTS

Glad the officer wasn't hurt. He was lucky that the criminal was a shitty shot. Unfortunately, this will just add more fuel to the Dems misguided ideas.
