Hi truckinbutch: Fascinating that you knew him also. He took over the Kings ville detachment. Bill Tony was at the the Mcallen, Texas headquarters as the firearms instructor.
Thanks to him, My quick draw time was in the range of 2 -3/5 th of a sec to hit a man sized target at 15 - 20 ft with me starting the draw. However HE was good, he coukl prob. take my measure every time.
Without a doubt, you are checked out on Ed McGivern and Elmer Keith. Ed McGivern proved many times that he could put 5 shots in a playing card in 3/5 th of a sec Even though he is now dead ,he is still the best.

Nothing needs to be added, you are one durn competent shot. You would have loved some of my trips where I lived off of the land, and I would have loved having you.

No question, but in the original case in this thread, the guy only had a stunner, there was no extreme pressure of a fire fight, so a simple calm leg shot after a warning one, would have done it nicely.
No he never mentioned the quail, howeve we did agree that the most attention getting sound is a shot gun being racked in a moonless night.

The reason that law enforcement doesn't shoot to "wound", is that people have sued the police dept. and won for cops shooting assailants in the leg. They finally said the hell with it. Let them sue from the grave
