Man shot in hand in Monument

[dan512]

Please tell me this isn't anyone on the board...

Read this a few minutes ago and a few things stood out (mind you, I wasn't there, so I don't know all the details): Apart from the obvious lesson which is maybe a gunfight isn't the answer to an argument; maybe walking away would have been more effective, the other thing that occurred to me is that the other guy (or the bad guy) has a say in the fight too. He will probably fight back, unlike a paper target. He will probably try to grab the gun, or punch me, etc. The lesson I am taking is I need to start working grappling and weapon retention drills... start working on position and making space.

A coffe-throwing spat may have been what led to a man being shot in the hand Friday at a Safeway parking lot in Monument.
Mark Brady, 61, was arrested Friday night after the shooting, which happened around 3:40 p.m. at the Safeway at 624 Colorado Highway 105, said Lt. Steve Burk, a Monument Police Department spokesman.

Two men began arguing in an aisle inside the store, and the confrontation spilled into the parking lot where one man pulled out a handgun and, after a struggle for the firearm, appeared to shoot the other man in the hand, Burk said.
Police were trying to piece together the details around 8:30 Friday night, Burk said, but they've heard stories that both men threw coffee at one another before the victim was shot.The victim drove himself to a doctor, Burk said.
Brady was expected to be charged with second-degree assault.

Coffee. My "go to" for dissing somebody.

Gotcha. Dumb ass stuff right there.

For real man. I'd definitely shoot somebody over my morning coffee, but this shit happened in the afternoon.

There are times I feel like shooting someone before my morning coffee. Someone made a pretty poor decision. Sadly I work with a fellow who just took his CCW training in a hotel lobby because he had a Groupon. I'm terrified by the idea of this individual carrying a gun.

First time I ever went shooting with him he put two shotgun rounds into the ceiling and carrier at BluCore.

Bye, bye to all of his guns.

Ouch. Didn't even think of that. Dumb b@stard.

Ban coffee..........for the chilrenz...












Typically a responsible CCW holder will do everything they can to avoid a confrontation.
