Good Guy Sniper takes out gunman at apartment complex in Ft. Smith Arkansas...

[clearconscience]

Too bad the bad guy was a Veteran. Pretty sad.

I wonder what prescriptions this guy was on.

Probably another super medicated case of "PTSD Soldier" goes crazy.

I bet he can thank big pharma for this, but like usual it will never get mentioned what he was on

Sniper?? OK

Bro! Do you even operate!?

While I understand clever names for items , from a sales / marketing standpoint....
Beard Pouch , just sounds so wrong...

With that said...
The worst that I have heard was a belt carrier for a shotgun that was called "Butt Buddy".
The carrier was worn on your belt and you placed the butt of your shotgun in it...
Doesn't seem the best of ideas to me...and I am sure that the name didn't help sales either.

As for the OP....
Just 'cause you have scoped rifle....and happen to shoot it....don't make you a sniper.

Edit to add :
Didn't mean for that last bit to sound so harsh....
Just having done that job for a bit while in the Army , both on the range and when it actually matter...
Has me understanding that term a bit differently.

I sure hope the good guy didn't use a bump stock.

Or even one of those shoulder things that goes up.

POLL: What scares you the most?' End quote.

What scares ME most?

The appalling use of the term 'gun down'.

One criminal can 'gun' down' another criminal, but an armed citizen exercising his judgement call on a murdering POS doesn't 'gun down' anybody.

He shot him.

Fatally, as it happens.

This is a good outcome, but it is decidedly NOT a 'gun down' situation.

BTW, I almost drowned my innocent keyboard with my lunchtime coffee hen I read the name of the news station - KARK-TV. Here in UK if you 'kark it' you die.

It's understandable when that selfsame espouser of tripe considers the US flag a symbol of hate.

Damn. Get cutesy and hyperbolic with one post heading.

sniper snī′pərn.
~A skilled military shooter detailed to spot and pick off enemy soldiers from a concealed place.
~One who shoots at other people from a concealed place.
~One who noses logs before they are skidded.

Maybe he was a logger.
And maybe this thread has run its course.

This is why I never trim my hangnails.

I wanna know what caliber he dumped the perp with! And of course placement. Good shootin'

had to be creedmoor right?

I actually bought one of those back when I worked in a cubicle - tacked it up on the outside wall.

For some reason hanging the carcass on the bobwire surrounding that apartment like a coyote came to mind.
