Citizen with a gun saves cop’s life

Don’t mess with the cops in Texas. The citizens might not like it. 

“It appears that law enforcement and the citizens of Brown County owe a debt of gratitude toward this man for his courage to act,” explained Grubbs.

 “It appears that law enforcement and the citizens of Brown County owe a debt of gratitude toward this man for his courage to act,” explained Grubbs. Sheriff Grubbs also noted that some may take this incident as an opportunity to promote gun control; however he felt it is an example of importance of the right to bear arms.

“Had this citizen not had a gun, this could have been a whole lot worse,” said Grubbs.

 The citizen went back to his trailer, got his .357 Magnum and hit the shooter at least once, probably multiple times.

“I’m just a citizen tryin’ to help an officer out.”

Old men should be dangerous.
